News Lions Board Spill - update: Board Dispute Resolved

[Haso]

What is their platform?

The group, which will challenge chairman Angus Johnson at an extraordinary general meeting set for November 13, is promising to re-engage with the club's disaffected and dwindling supporter base.

I saw that and got excited.

Delightfully unspecific isn't it?

Someone like Jason Dunstall's impact at Hawthorn has no doubt had a profound influence on Alistair Lynch's decision to re-engage with the club he holds so dear.

I had made comments some months ago that I was disappointed with Lynch's fence sitting and/or unwillingness to discuss the real issues at the club when he had such a public platform to do so, and perhaps there were reasons why he didn't/couldn't, but I am delighted that one of the few Lions people with a fairly high profile in the media has now publically got behind the Fresh Start team, which one day could see him serve the club in an official capacity.

 

[Henry Pinskier]

Lynchy will be a magnificent addition to the Board.

It's just a Power-grab.

Will be interesting to see Henry's picture.

Pinskier aligning himself with Leigh when Leigh wants nothing to do with him clearly shows that he is an imposter. There isn't any doubt about that. But for any voting members who haven't been following the details I can imagine he might come across as credible. I can live with a quack trying to pull a shifty, as he should be nothing more than a nuisance. But for him to be given a big head start in an election campaign is an absolute disgrace. It undermines the whole voting process, and if that is contaminated then it undermines the foundations of the club. Hence my anger. It's all very well for the club to 'treat the matter seriously' and 'investigate' but the damage has been done - there are now doubts about the authenticity of the voting process at the egm.

I think he gets 12 hours to specifically and fully detail how, when and from whom he got all the email addresses or he gets banned.

Last chance Pinky! 12 hours. The clock is ticking. Man up!

Actually it isn't.

How does one acquire email addresses from facebook and twitter Dr? Let alone know that those people are Lions voting members?

I think it was entirely due to the fact that he felt there was a massive conflict of interest as his company managed Vossy. With a new coach, though, that conflict is gone. Agree completely though, he's exactly the kind of person we need to re-engage with the club right now.

 

[Henry Pinskier]

The personal abuse here directed against anyone who dares disagree with the Williams/Power bloc should serve as a warning to all other Clubs about the dangers of one rich man trying to takeover an AFL Club.

Members want Lethal and Lynchy but a Fresh Start requires fresh faces not same old duds.

Pssst.

That's a good idea AFLQLD.

Henry Pinskier, this isn't a blog, and some engagement is required, lest the locals become restless. Or, uh, MORE restless. You've not really engaged with questions put to you in a meaningful way, and you know very well that they are coming across as non-answers and evasion. This means that you're not progressing the conversation, while also spamming the board, which breaks a couple of forum-wide rules.

I'm going to need you to start contributing in a meaningful way, or we are going to stop you from contributing.

Nothing is answered on your website, and simply not linking to it isn't a loophole from my stance here.

Yes, but the answer isn't true right?

What has actually happened is that the facts contradict your website's account and you've been caught out.

The question really is, do you have an explanation for the discrepancy between your account of how you got the list and all of the subsequent evidence that has emerged to contradict it?

Do any media interviews today Henry a lot of journos are saying you are not returning calls. Great way to get the word out of the fantastic things you have done for the club and what you have planned.

Ask around, it's not difficult. We emailed supporters, members, even Collingwood supporters. You may not like the answer but that's the answer.

Potting holes in an unconvincing lie is not personal abuse. You could always stop posting.

Members also want you to piss off and crawl back under whatever rock you came.

Know a lot of journos do you? Doubtful.

"ask around/its not difficult" doesn't answer the question.

Stop fibbing and I'll stop posting.

Seriously can people stop engaging this Guy, it can't avtually be the good doctor!?, the posts are way to troll like. They also come across a bit dull or simple, surely not the posts of a Dr. it is frustrating - lets just pretend he doesent exsist, that should solve it. It's just annoying really.

So how do you explain how you got people's emails that don't even have Facebook, Twitter or is it all some massive coincidence that you stumbled across every single member's email address and their personal details?
