Lion's Roar's form:
  • Supported an EGM that only had motions to remove directors from ONE side of the boardroom brawl despite BOTH sides sacking Vossy and generally acting the goat with constant leaking and counter-leaking to a salivating media
  • Running an email list to contact members while endlessly attacking a new group for running an email list to contact members and supporters
  • Calling for members to have a greater say in the Club while endlessly attacking a new group of members and supporters having a go and a say and offering members a real choice
  • Pretending to support Leigh Matthews but implicitly undermining him by alleging he won't serve the Club he loves without two dud directors Mick Power and Paul Williams being on the board. All Lethal has actually said is that he didn't want Chairman Angus and his mob on there. Let the members rise up and elect our own people. Why can't a so-called "membership advocacy" group speak up for that and for all of us. Instead TLR increasingly looks like a puppet of a guy called Power.
Smells fishy to me. It will all end in tears.

There is a better way at Restore the Lions' Pride
When you first come on the scene I was prepared to give you a go, hear what you had to say. The more you post here the more it is evident you're a stooge. An unfortunate character trait you have, is that you're happy to be someone's stooge.

Your four dot points above are so far from accurate, in fact they are downright lies. You my friend are a liar and what you have written above is evidence of the fact.

What ever respect I was prepared to give, you have lost with the diatribe and bullshit you post on here. Sure you may be a troll or you may be the real deal, but anyhow just for accuracy's sake TLR did not receive my email via a club insider or trawling the internet. I voluntarily give it to them. I sought out the information from them. I gave them authority to do so.

You my friend have still not addressed the simplest of questions. How you come to have in possession, private and personal information of member details, and without authority made contact?
 
More and more thinking that the BF Henry is a troll stooge. Henry's website still only has 77 facebookers, zero messages from Henry for days, very few comments over the past few days (none in coherent Engrish), and zero recent media coverage. The only decent public communication has been on here. Hence my doubts.

Seems like the actual Henry campaign has stiffed. If BF's Henry is real, then how about he posts a message mentioning he is actively commenting here? Actively commenting anywhere for that matter?

Henry's campaign has fizzled out like a whoppie cushion. A quick burst of hot air, then nothing but residual giggling at the initial noise and a lack of follow up.

In all likelihood Bigfooty Dr Pinkie is a hoaxer, and the reason the real the Dr has gone quiet may be because the initial amateurish burst of activity may have exposed his clients/mates/benefactors and landed them in hot water. Any further activity may've really exposed what was really at play. Shame because all we can do now is to further speculate.

I wonder how the Lions investigation regarding the apparent leak of member's contact information is going?

Maybe we should ask him on Twitter/FB whether he is on BF?
 
I emailed the club to ask the same question Always A Lion.

And as per usual, zero response from the club to me as a member and supporter. It's not the first time.

Must be too busy drafting the sudden bi-daily update from Angus.

(no disrespect meant to the under resourced over worked Lions staff... It just seems that when you ask the tough questions that probably require senior mgt advice such as when will the EGM be called, or when will the jumper issue be addresses, or who leaked our contact details, there is silence and tumbleweeds from club to members and supporters, even when you ask nicely)

Perhaps everyone who received it should forward said email onto Malcolm Holmes, demanding an explanation...
 
Running an email list to contact members while endlessly attacking a new group for running an email list to contact members and supporters
I'm not even going to respond to your other points, as other people have already done it far more eloquently than I could. Such as ...

TLR asked people for their details to keep them informed, you didn't, you somehow managed to get peoples details without their permission, and continue to dodge the question on how you got said details.
But, I still want to know where you got my email address from. You have been asked this question several times by several people now and have avoided answering it. If you're serious with your intentions, then you need to be completely transparent, starting now. So, where did you get your email address list from Henry Pinskier?
 
Does Henry Pinskier really think that anyone who questions him about how he got his email list is a Lion's Roar official?

How big does he think TLR is?

Not to mention the fact that no one has an issue with people using a mailing list if it was legally put together. Everyone on the Lion's Roar mailing list signed up for the emails.

I certainly didn't sign up for Restore the Lion's Pride emails... Why do I keep getting them and why are questions about their mailing list continually evaded?

Funnily, I stopped getting Restore, the, Lions, Roar emails when I sent one asking where he got my email address from...
 
Yes, I just checked and I have.... Should we report it as spam??

Dear .....,

Victorian members of the Brisbane Lions have a special responsibility to the Club we love.
Most of us barracked for Fitzroy back in the day, or our parents and grand-parents did.

As a former director of the Fitzroy Football Club, I know well just how much so many of our members sacrificed and the sense of loss we felt when we thought we’d lost of our Club forever.

But some very devoted Lions supporters from Melbourne worked very hard to ensure that our legacy was respected after the Club relocated to Queensland. There’ve been quite a few disappointments along the way, not least of which is how few Melbourne games have been scheduled, in breach of agreements with the AFL.

The Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for November 13 is an opportunity for all of us to be heard on restoring one of the most important connections with Fitzroy’s proud legacy: the original Lion.

The 2009 decision to replace the traditional proud Fitzroy Lion with the current “Paddle Pop” one was a big mistake. It was done without consultation. It has not been accepted by supporters or members.

The reaility is that not many Victorian members will be able to physically attend the EGM on November 13. We need to have our say to protect what we love and change what we need to about the Lions.

I will be there. And I will be voting to restore the Lions' Pride in our Club Guernsey, with our Restore the Lions' Pride group successfully asking the Board to put it on the EGM agenda.

I will also be voting to ensure Club legends and life members like Leigh Matthews can be elected on the board, and voting to remove and reject directors causing boardroom feuding.

Many Club members have asked me whether they can vote while not attending. You can. If you print-out, sign, scan and email to convenor@restorethelionspride.com or fax back this proxy form, you will be able to have your say.

Only a big Victorian supporters' vote can ensure we restore the original Lion to our Guernsey and ensure the Club makes the interests of Victorian supporters a top priority.

Let’s Restore The Lions’ Pride,

Dr Henry Pinskier


...no mention of Board member elections, and he is asking us to hand over our proxies to him.

Very Victorian slant too. The tone is a lot subtler.
 
The Spin Doctor just hit up ONLY the Victorian members for their proxy votes. This voting members list compiled from 'trawling the internets' is even perfectly segmented into Queensland and Victorian members.

This stinks to high heaven, and I think it's important that we not only ignore this guy's calls, but actively warn friends and family about him.
 
Lion's Roar collected names and email addresses ONLY.

Fair to say that Henry can now drop any remaining pretense that he may have got contact details from The Lion's Roar now considering whatever list he has clearly provides details of the location of particular members.

That's hilarious.
