Toast Warren Tredrea - Elected to the Port Board (Football discussion only)

[EskimoPAFC]

Everyone coming up with crazy voting conspiracies... the candidate who gets the most votes is just going to win, that's all. It will probably be Warren.

Abernathy isn't going to just win by voter fraud; he isn't a democratic presidential candidate.

After a quick google, this bit was found. Hope it's relevant.

What requirements must be complied with for the appointment of a proxy to be valid?


(2) A proxy appointment: (a) must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder; and. (b) remains valid for; (i) one year after the date on which it was signed; or.

That sounds more like it.

What? Surely that's not how this works.
AFAIK, you have to assign your proxy vote, not just have it taken by default.

C’arn mate!

Port Adelaide champion George Fiacchi says both Bruce Abernethy and Warren Tredrea deserve to be on the club’s board, and that it is “ridiculous” to make fans choose between them.
A Port Adelaide great has taken aim at the Power’s election process, saying it is disappointing and disrespectful that two club champions have to go head-to-head for a board seat.
Seven-time premiership player George Fiacchi, who was on the club’s board from 2012-2019, told this masthead both Bruce Abernethy and Warren Tredrea deserved to be Power directors.

Abernethy, also a seven-time flag winner, and Tredrea, the Power’s only premiership captain, are vying for Port’s sole vacant members-elected position.
Tredrea tried to fill one of the board’s eight AFL-appointed seats 18 months ago, but Power chairman David Koch rejected the bid, insisting the four-time All-Australian had to go to the members’ vote. Koch’s reasoning was not wanting to choose one club legend over another. Fiacchi said the board could hand-pick a past player, as it had done.

“I think it’s disappointing and disrespectful to make them go up against each other,” Fiacchi told this masthead. “Football is under-represented on the board and we need more Port Adelaide football knowledge – it’s about getting some balance.
“Both Tredders and Abba should be on the board, there’s no doubt about that.
“They’ve both got good qualities and would be an absolute asset for the footy club.
“To put them up against each other is ridiculous – you’re making the fans choose.
“The club supporter base is fractured as it is. “A lot of the pro-Hinkley members will be voting for Abba and a lot of anti-Hinkley supporters will be voting for Tredrea. “All we’re doing is encouraging this fracture in our supporter base when we should be trying to bring them back together.” .

I agree with most of this except when he says Abba deserves to be on the board.

This is something I expect to become more of a focus particularly in the coming 12 months. Crows get their license back 31 October 2028 I believe RussellEbertHandball can correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct. I have posted the relevant parts of the constitution here previously.

 

[Schulzenfest]

If you only count the legitimate votes Tredrea won in a landslide!

Koch said this morning on his breakfast segment on AA, that over 10,000 people have voted.

That's around 7,000 more than normal.

Anyone really think Aber has polled over 5,000 votes or the club would produce that sort of results??

So, 7,000 more than normal is a mammoth increase which surely signifies the Warren supporters have turned out in force. I'm basing this on your previous post and assuming that none of these 10000 votes are proxy votes and that Koch cannot use proxy votes unless they are in writing.

He doesn’t even need to poll 1 vote he’ll have 50,000 of them after koch flops out his big proxy wand!

Why would a fully independent corporate voting company release ANY details about a still open vote

Doing so could be seen as compromising the vote and surely would be outside their charter

QED

The federal and state electoral commissions every few days, put out how many people have voted early in pre polling day voting, that usually runs for 3 weeks, and it doesn't impact what the final voter turnout is or what the result is. I don't see this any differently.

 

[Poo Eckert]

Well I’d welcome Cos and Holly gone for starters and chuck Wazza and George on for a start.

George for chairman.

Let’s some sport orientated businessman or woman apply via members elect.

Because they're providing progress information to the stakeholders for the election they're running.

 

[Alberton Proud]

From Corpvote's website



So PAFC set the rules around compliance and reporting

So the club may be getting info before the vote closes

Still dumb but not surprising as Kock loves to shoot his mouth off if he thinks it favours him

Edit - pretty much as Duckimus Prime said above

My bad

 

[Doctor Feel]

If he knows the vote count, he knows the winner.
