That blokes gotta have a horse in the race.
There's no other reason for the vitriol.

Following Andrew Tate is far worse than Hitler.
Wow. Somebody has a nasty agenda. Too bad it's not directed towards the two most ego driven, arrogant people at the club. David Koch and Ken Hinkley.

That's what I'm hoping for. I don't think any of us are expecting Warren to be the remedy for all our issues, but if he can go some way to start the ball rolling, I'll be happy, at least we might see light at the end of the tunnel (that's not a train).
I've had a think about this again.
With how poorly our previous board member has done managing Western hospital... maybe warren would do a better job on that board too.

He's Richo's mouthpiece. Planting seeds the club wants planted.

It's Silverfingers.
Certainly does have a horse in the race. I wonder if it is one of the horses from the syndicate?
Voted tredders. He will win, reasonably comfortably but probably quite a few more 50/50 supporters out there than you’d think, most of these won’t vote at all. The Pro tredders crowd seems to have much stronger numbers though.

I don’t take any issue with Ryan Burton supporting his father in law though. Struggling to see what the big fuss about that is.

Thank you too Lil.
Do you plan to stand up at the AGM and … defying all around you … ask Koch a direct question worthy of media exposure?
Denis
Im not sure. Last AGM Koch answered my question with a blatant lie. I sent an email to Richo quoting Koch and attaching evidence in rebuttal. In Richo's defense, he did reply but did not acknowledge the 'untruths'. If Warren wins, and I assume he will, I might just sit there with a smug look of my face. Might even say g'day to my mate CD.
I’m all in on Tredders, but he was wrong to pull Burton up on voicing his public opinion even when it’s his GFs old man he’s endorsing. When did people become so bloody insecure about alternative ideas & opinions? Who gives a flying **** if those views are in polar opposite to popular mainstream beliefs.
Some of the greatest leaders and breakthroughs in science came from those who stood in the minority.
No wonder the club has a weak backbone & is stumbling between a pendulum of mediocrity & staleness. We might as well change our name to the Port Adelaide Eunuchs which would be far more fitting.

Yeah, I can't see what possible conflict of interest there may be there either.
There's a thing called impartiality.

Don's Party. Nothing is done until it is done.
I’ve got no issue with it whatsoever. I couldn’t care if our entire playing list publicly endorsed Abernathy, my vote was always going to WGT.
Employees aren't there to sway the board vote out of self interest and self preservation.
He's played his hand and now his position as an employee is compromised
The level of cronyism and nepotism that has negatively affected the club over the last decade needs to either be stamped out or severely scrutinised
I hold nothing against Burton, he's a fairly young, naive bloke (at least in a corporate voting sense) trying to impress a girl. We've all been there and done dumb stuff at the time.
The club coming out and defending it is bizarro world. Would have been simple to say "Ryan made a mistake and we've re-iterated the standards we expect to the playing group and it won't happen again." As per usual we instead double down and close ranks around the boys club.

In fairness to Hinkley, he still probably wears his Geelong silk boxer shorts to bed each night. Having said that, the optics of his son working for the club isn’t great.
