PAFC CEO Matthew Richardson

How do they mean by teams don't win premierships?
Are we a team and not a club?

Team is the group of players on the field, club is admin/coaching staff and everyone else that contributes to the team.

The strategic framework actually uses the words "Give a Shit". Next version should say "Blast Piss".

Also lol at "Invite the Heat".

They invite the heat so they can gaslight the supporters with it

“Great people in the right roles”. ****, that’s a laugh.

The club has three teams and three senior coaches, and at least two of them have no business being in that role.

That’s not a great start.

Great people =/= great coaches.

They're just great human beings.

So borrowing a line from Jerry Krause then?

They’ve updated this since I last saw it.

“Give a sh¡t” and the pink text is new.

lol meanwhile, captain of not giving a shit is steering the show and having a giggle after losses.

SANFL and AFLW

...we'll be lucky to win 3 games in the "greatness" period.

For me, the biggest question I want to ask MR is when will the PAFC become member controlled once again.

Got my answer and yep, they don't want a board full of footballers which is understandable.

Just means as a membership base that we have no power or influence over the board. It's a completely corporate approach with tokenism to members with 2 selections.

The only power you have is your membership renewal which is diminishing considering the number of current numbers resigning.

The good news is that our debt is now below $2 million and more announcements to be made about further redevelopment of Alberton Oval.

No one asked about Ken's coaching or our current record against other top tier teams.

The only explanation for this cringeworthy document in that its author was getting waterboarded while composing it

What about the buses?

 

[ibd77]

No announcements, no one asked. It was an open forum if you wanted to ask on the night. Just attend the next one.

Just be mindful that you are in front of mostly middle aged audience still reminiscing about the Magpie days and the PBs.

Even that answer reeks of disrespect.

I’ve previously voted for *John [not Colin ] Firth and another fella from an impressive business background whose name I can’t remember.

And wasn’t Kathy Nagle member-elected?

But nah, we’re all mouthbreathing morons who’d elect Nathan Lonie over Kim Williams if they were on the ballot, aren’t we Richo?

What a dud.

Has there ever been a time where both of the member elected board members were ex footballers

He’s terrified of Tredders. Which is understandable.

Off the top of my head, Abernethy and Wakelin?

Ah yes, this is what happens at the other member owned clubs. What a ****ing disingenious dickhead. Like it matters if they are all ex footballers. You can be an ex footballer with business backgrounds. Plus, what he said is just another insult at the members he views as plebeians.

Gets given soft questions too. **** him.

Did anyone take a shit in the corridor?

The Port Adelaide board if the great unwashed noise gets a full vote.

Also, don't we exist in a league where the majority of clubs have member elected boards? Are any of those boards full of ex footballers? Why do we need to be a clear outlier and exception?

No one in the room shared my concerns so unfortunately, we are going to have to just deal with the fact that members will not have a say in the direction of the club.

The CEO dinner is the only open forum you have with the club to raise your concerns publically. But respect the forum if you go.

 

[El_Scorcho]

This just shows how little they think of the supporter base.

I'm fairly sure that in the last 20 seasons, only West Coast's 2 flags have been won by clubs who didn't have full member control of their boards.

I don't and won't accept it.

While it's too difficult to get a movement off of the ground now, when the Crows get their club handed back to the members, it's time to push very hard on them.

We have an irresistible case. AFL controlled boards don't win anything.
