News Lions Board Spill - update: Board Dispute Resolved

[adey115]

Yes, that is right, saying that you think Leigh would stay if his team doesn't get voted in, is essentially saying that you don't believe Leigh Matthews has any integrity and he is not a man of his word.

Say that in person, and I'd suggest you'd stand as much chance as a Windy Hill point post.

 

[James North]

It's a good voting system though, you don't have to vote for Powers/Williams if you want to vote for Lethal. We can have Leigh Matthews without those two.

So Leigh Matthews gets in. Who runs the club in your scheme?

 

[greendiesel]

No Melbourne members want a bar of Williams/Power. Stay away would be my advice.

Categorically and factually incorrect. You, Sir, are a shyster....and a stupid one at that.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Who runs the club in your scheme?

The ALP Right faction. They'll change the club's name to the Brisbane Branchstackers.

Whatever gives you that impression TBD?

All I did was Google, and these were the articles that came up. I did not write them of course, but they are publicly available still, via the power of Google.

He has significant experience in the world of politics and voting.

Henry. Gotta admit you show a lot of pluck. A little like the Grade 6 kid who doggedly insists 'There really *IS* a Santa, and he's coming to *MY* house!!' -- even when all the other kids are s******ing.

But seriously. For better or worse, Leigh Matthews has lashed his fate to the two directors you very clearly dislike.

"If you want me on the board you vote for these guys, if they are not successful I'll walk," - Leigh Matthews - 22 Oct, 2013

That is unambiguous. There's simply no wiggle room for anyone with even a rudimentary grasp on both english and sanity.

So it seems you've only got two choices.

1) Either you're behind Lethal, and you grit your teeth and accept Williams and Power. I think we all understand that that's hard for you. But if you believe the club needs Leigh Matthews, that's the sacrifice you're going to have to make.

2) Otherwise you're anti-Lethal and his team. You're so utterly convinced of the dire issues associated with maintaining Power and Williams' board position that you're willing to throw Leigh out with the bath water.

So which of those positions are you supporting? If you're Anti-Leigh, I think we'd all accept and respect that position.

But it's surely batshit insane (or just politically expedient) to maintain you can be somewhere between.

Incredible that you can answer these questions quicker and more accurately than The Vote Doctor himself, TheBrownDog.

Do you even Lion's Roar bro?

 

[James North]

Proposed repeatable phrases for when Henry arrives next:

• Doctor the votes
• Put the Lions in a medically induced coma
• A prescription for pain
• A director with horrible bedside manner
• Performing a failed surgery on the Club
• Anaesthetise the members
• The plan is DOA

 

[dlanod]

I have to admit... I'm losing my shit every time he mentions Aker serving on the Lions' board. Keep it up!

Probably the only other Lions player he can remember.

I believe he thinks "Micky Conson" is a former Roys player, and the head of AFL QLD....

Definitely starting to build a bit more coverage

Wide World of Sports - Ninemsn

Former Brisbane Lions chairman Tony Kelly has urged members not to squander a "once in a lifetime" chance to vote AFL legend Leigh Matthews on to their board at next month's emergency general meeting (EGM).

Kelly on Tuesday joined the likes of triple premiership player Alastair Lynch in a show of support for Matthews' rival ticket as the gloves came off in a boardroom stoush director Paul Williams says has already tarnished the Lions brand.

 

[MacMum]

We strongly support Leigh Matthews and Alastair Lynch but I don't know of any member outside the Lion's Roar Power bloc who is supporting Williams/Power to stay on. Time's up. Off you go.

Oi there buster You talkin to me????

I'm not part of the Lions Roar Power bloc as you put it, what is that anyway?..but I am a Brisbane Lions MEMBER.

..a member who supports Leigh Mathews and HIS ticket.

 

[dlanod]

Tony Kelly's involvement does have me scratching my head. Must be a bit of bad blood there between him and his successor. I'm just remembering that for all the inadequacies of Angus, Tony made him look good.

 

[BuntonRules]

With all the furore, and questions of legality - is there a mechanism for any proxies Dr Henry garners to be called invalid?

 

[adey115]

I've been pondering the Tony Kelly involvement.

Although it was commented that Graeme Downie was there, I couldn't see him in the photo. If Graeme was there - as an ex Lions Chairman I think the media would have run with quotes on his opinion and advice as to why we should vote for Fresh Start. Without Graeme the next alternative ex Chairman was Tony Kelly.

This wasn't the Tony Kelly show, but it was a vote of confidence from a former Chairman, and a vote against the current Chairman. Hence it was perhaps a wise media play in terms of quotes and impact.

Yeah gotta admit I wasn't across the politics of the club too much back then but my memory of him is that he was quite poor, to put it nicely.

The thing about Tony Kelly was that he knew his time was up and decided to move on,which is why you probably see Tony standing there today.

Yes, thats the one question mark imo.

 

[Mazza44]

I have been a member of Fitzroy/Brisbane for 24 years, you do not have the ****ing right to speak on my behalf you arrogant twat. Maybe you should be more in touch with these imaginary supporters you have (those 5 people who have posted positive comments on your website and have not had them deleted).

Please tell the members of your involvement with Fitzroy in the early 1990's. What did you do to help save them and why did you fail? And in what circumstances did you leave the board? I think this is relevant considering that voting you in may just be sending another club to the wall.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Tony Kelly's biggest fault was that he kept Bowers in the CEO job as long as he did. Apart from that... Meh, he is just there to add to the wall of power brokers. He isn't running for the board.

Please do not feed the troll people

Powers, Williams and Matthews all the way for me

GO LIONS

 

[Dylan12]

Please produce this proxy form that contained your membership number. If you look carefully, you might see it contains mine not anyone else's.

Why should I do anything for you muppet?

I have four of your rubbish proxy forms each with different membership numbers. How about you cut the bullshit and answer direct questions.

WHO and WHERE did you get MY MEMBERSHIP DETAILS FROM?

You are nothing but an unethical and deceitful liar who has nobody's, and certainly not the club's, interests at heart; exactly the same value system as your mate Angus Johnson.

How about you stop aligning yourself with Leigh Matthews when it is apparent to ALL that he wants absolutely nothing to do with a liar and snake such as yourself and will NOT have anything to do with the club if his chosen ticket does not obtain power.

God help us all if you had anything to do with the club. Practically everyone I know would certainly cease involvement with the club if slimy snake such as yourself got in. Go do us all a favour and go back to whatever hole you came from.
