I have already answered that in your other post.
Voting for just 1 board member is a popularity contest.
Voting for a full board enables members to choose representatives with different skill sets.
No shit Sherlock!Yes but the AFL commission have a caveat over the club because it funds it

Agreed but as the football director, only one on the board with football experience and legend of the club, do you think his opinion would hold much sway?
Crikey Marty, you said accountants too prohibitive to get rid of them. Now if they weren’t under contract it’s not prohibitive. If Roo the football director is recommending we don’t renew them and they go against his advice, what’s the point of having Roo on there? Why have anyone with football experience on the board?
He’s the only board member that sits on list management and football strategy committees. By design he has an influence by chairing both those committees.
No shit Sherlock!
Typical post by you completely moving the goal posts.
Given how much the members have paid, why do we have either having the main say?

You’re arguing for the sake of it.

If this continues, they won't have many members left if they can't have a decent say in the running of our club.
It's scheduled to happen.Whilst their on debt you and I both know that will not happen
And the AFL are under the impression it’s the sport that attracts the punters not the club

It's scheduled to happen.
2028 I think, but someone can correct me.
You are not a member though...Yes it will happen
But the members decide, and if Darren Jarman ran for election he would get in. Because the majority love him, whether he could do the job or not is irrelevant to the majority
And as you know the majority votes you in

Yes, have attended since 1st game.

The question is will I renew my membership next season if the club fail to make any decent changes.
Thats because of the structure of the BoardA massive issue is that ultimately the board have much a contempt for their supporters and such a massively unreasonable sense of entitlement.
They act like we should be lucky that they’ve put a team on the field at all, and have absolutely no right to question their decisions or want the team to succeed.
And as an interstate club that ($) is fine with the afl.Thats because of the structure of the Board
Money coming in the rest doesnt matter to them or even cross their minds

I imagine if you fill your board with a fair number of business people the first things they'll look at to define success is customer base, revenue in and profit. All 3 have been steady or increasing, so we're in a successful period.The appointed members probably with the exception of Roo all have two things in common.
-They genuinely believe they have a divine right to be there.
-They don’t love the club. At least not like the members and true believers.
Roo for all his faults does genuinely bleed for the AFC. (That doesn’t excuse him btw, just highlighting a fact.)

On that last point, I genuinely believe that's why he pushed so hard for ex-players like Burton and Hart to be brought back. His belief was to bring in people who loved the club like he did and not to have the guys coming in just to try and take the first job back in Melbourne they could. Part of his problem there was he seemed to favour those who shared his views completely (who were also his mates) and he overrated care at the expense of talent (kinda like Nicks there).
4 more years and we owe nothing. Long term it's for the best. Whether or not the board in 2028 changes the constitution to allow a fully member elected board will be interesting.....
