THE BOARD. PAFC DIRECTORS. Why? Just why? 😢

[FishingRick04]

Thanks REH. Note Thiele should be up for a re-election contest in December. I haven't met him, don't think he's been up here for any Board events, may have been in Shanghai in June but I wasn't there, so no comment.

Personally would like, for obvious reasons, to have someone on the board who has international experience, especially China and Asia, now that things are looking good re Mr Gui, as far as 1) playing in Shanghai, 2) AFL in China, 3) Kidman project and how it benefits PAFC are all concerned.
Big stuff, big bucks, big future, big responsibility...
This all needs to be guided from the top at PAFC, on a broader base, with additional qualified people involved long-term.
Quite amazing that I can now suggest such stuff with confidence after only three years.

No no no, I'm not pushing my own wheelbarrow here. Holly has the 'disrupter' seat on the board already according to El Presidente, no need for another. Modern means of communication with the Boomer Generation (only) may be a strength of mine, but we don't need to appoint a board member for that ... unless we take over the Crows.

FishingRick04 ... over to you. You the man. Those hours we spent that night outside the Jockey in Happy Valley (HK) educating each other into noncompassmintarsedville was a good investment (by me) right?

Hey Buddy, I'd be honoured when the time is right to serve the board and the membership of our great club.

If the time is right would be determined by the members I'd assume so who knows, it's not something I can control outside of putting my hand up.

A grand addition in our ongoing mission to be fluffy, inoffensive, well-liked and capable of scoring 10/10 for demographical transcendentalism.

When we look back at this era we might not have any premierships, but dammit, I'll be fugged if we weren't a club that had the potential to trend solidly with rusted-on watchers of The Project.

Given the Crows demographics - old White, Xenophobic (China!) - expanding our appeal to more of society is a good thing. As long as they aren't dropping the ball on the key reason for the club (premierships) and dismissing the good parts of our history / traditions, just because 'WASP (with a few 'wogs' and 'blacks' thrown in) ya no'. As long as Koch is kept away from cringing it up, the latter seems to have been observed.

The problem is not being able to walk (on-field and win premierships) and chew gum (off-field) at the same time right now. Clearly the board is lacking a head kicker. I'd have said someone with balls, but I'd have hoped Vanstone would at least be someone to crack heads and demand performance. She's the one I'd want least to face angry.

How do you know the board lacks a head kicker? How can you tell that KT is under no pressure from the board?

2016 is even worse then 2015. If heads were kicked after last season it must have been by one of the directors bringing in a toddler.

Kicking heads is no guarantee of improvement.

It's not just PR/Communications company, it is a "solutions" company that specialises in multi-stakeholder outcomes, the enablement of change and the development of high performing intergenerational cultures.

I don't know what that means but I think it's a perfect example of a talking head at work.

Where's your passion and drive? No obstacle is too great. With enough commitment you just never know, one day you could become a young influencer and own your very own Youth Summit too.

How long was Holly president for and how long was the 58 year old? I suspect there is a decent gap between the 2 answers.

The point of drinking the Kool Aid is you can only do it once. Needs a less lethal metaphor.

I personally prefer Iocane powder, you see it is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.

I thought a Rotary engine was also a Wankel?

I actually asked their business development manager if that was where the name came from. He told me it was but he had some other idea of what it was, ie not a highly toxic poison.
