Lobsters?
Got no idea what you guys are talking about but I like to buy 2 litres of Oak chocolate. I find the taste a bit strong for my liking so I pour into a glass 3/4 oak, 1/4 plain milk and mix it up. 
As far as the board goes, term limits have got to go, if you do a good job you stay, if you do a bad job you go.
Sayers is coming into his final year so no doubt our first draft pick will be as good as traded, and with Voss under pressure he will be more than happy to throw it away. Same thing happened with LoGiudice and the same thing will happen with whoever follows after that.
Having term limits has created a far bigger problem than the problem it was trying to fix.

Yeah, let’s create a dictatorship. Worked well for us in the past …Got no idea what you guys are talking about but I like to buy 2 litres of Oak chocolate. I find the taste a bit strong for my liking so I pour into a glass 3/4 oak, 1/4 plain milk and mix it up.

1970s pre-Big-M era flavoured milk, with the one and only Alex Jesaulenko as the marketing face. Drank gallons of it.

If you call that a dictatorship, then almost every professional sporting club in the world is a dictatorship, including most AFL clubs.
The last 21 years of our non-dictatorship have been awesome haven't they

Luke Sayers absolutely copping it in the AFR today, he is currently bringing the club into disrepute and should stand down and let Fitzpatrick take over.
My favorite quote in the article..
Sayers needs some advice, to be sure. Someone needs to tell him that having his lips suctioned to the arses of the Melbourne establishment does not make him a member of the Melbourne establishment. He is just another tedious chancer, a rat with a gold tooth. A rabid networker, it’s oft observed, and what sort of human quality is that?

Spin cycle turns for PwC, Luke Sayers
How fortunate we all were to ease into 2023’s colder months warmed by the flames of PwC Australia’s conflagration.

Whether true or not, that's fantastic writing
Ashton in full flight! Love it.
Can't argue with any of the line of approach. Sayers should have thought twice about not sending Joe a birthday card

Like the Melbourne establishment is full of good human qualities.What w***ery. Hold Sayers accountable for whatever he did/did not do by community standards. **** the establishment BS.
No term limits is dark ages stuff in terms of governance. They are crucial.Got no idea what you guys are talking about but I like to buy 2 litres of Oak chocolate. I find the taste a bit strong for my liking so I pour into a glass 3/4 oak, 1/4 plain milk and mix it up.

If what I just hear on SEN this morning is true and both Sayers and Cook will walk out of the respective positions at the end of their contracts...
I'm just curious to know if members are aware of a succession plan put in place. Perhaps it is already known, but I just want a clear and direct answer for myself out of curiosity.

Who was this from?
Sayers time is up for the length of term, that is well known.
Cook was hoping for an extension last time I heard (contracted until next year too). Succession not in the immediacy on previous comments.

Maybe as president, but an overall term limit seems really restrictive.

I think Cook is too professional an operator to not have this in mind. He'd just be working on this quietly, keeping in mind the distinction/necessary separation between the governance and operational side. Right now it's 2023, and I don't think we'd be hearing things about CEO until 2024.
As for Luke Sayer's position, that's another issue entirely.

Not any official wording. But it was I think Tom Morris or whoever it is Kane and Buckley bring into the studio to provide news updates.
He basically labelled Voss' position as a "delicate" matter and pointed out how all of his, Sayers and Cook's contracts end at the same time.
Sayers doesn't surprise me as I have regularly been hearing he will only see through the one term. And I think the form we are in now should it continue into 2024 should see Voss with another deal.
But Cook surprised me a little. He seemed so adamant that he too will leave. Only reason I believe this would be is due to the change of President. But unless Cook himself wants out, I don't understand why any succeeding president or board member would be willing to part ways with a figure coming from arguably the most successful culture in modern footy.

Sayers has a term limit problem, even ignoring his professional difficulties, this isn't a surprise

Board/chair succession planning was poor during MLG's tenure. Hopefully, it improves.
Has a replacement for Mathieson been announced?

what you say holds true only in a tiny insignificant market called Australian listed equities - one of my key listed and private equity filters is a preference for investing in companies whose management and Board have skin on the table and at risk - only a casual look at the broad levels of sycophantic incompetency in Australian Companies would even support the notion of 'governance' as expressed in the simplicity of 'term limits'.

I am guessing Mathieson replacement will be made at next AGM when there can be a more wholistic look at other changes. I don't think we're missing anything, and indeed, we've probably gained something by this particular vacancy.
Mathieson had the list management portfolio. They probably need a football person more than a business / politics type as a replacement.
