Correct, it’s more like 80k.

EY had nothing to do with the CEO appointment. They were not contracted for that. Just the review.

They were though in charge of background checks and work experience history of the CEO candidates.

What’s the issue with 10? Spreads the workload.

No. Only 7,000 members voted. Each voter cast 2 votes.

I should’ve been more aware that this was on

First time I’ve gotten a round of applause in a while.

I had a follow up chat with Barham afterwards. It felt like his answer was talking at me as opposed to talking to me. He spoke about the importance of getting into schools and interacting with kids, I must say I didn’t really feel listened to in that moment. I’m talking about a proper, meaningful program with links to the health and PE curriculum (like Footscray, their program is great and really making a difference).

The highlight of my night was chatting with Ken Fraser. An absolute gentleman.

It was a great question and you didn’t get a respectful and honest answer. IMO

It felt like they waffled a bit, a little disappointing.

Having said that, I’m more interested in what they do going forward. Are they going to do the things that they say they will? Off field, the two key things will be the facilities at the Hangar and Windy Hill.

I don’t have it in front of me but 10 and 8 directors are the most common board sizes in the league - I think there’s 7 clubs with each. North have 6 and Swans have 11.
That’s off the top of my head, so I may have it slightly wrong but 10 is not unusual.

Well done.

FWIW, my question got a hearing. The one about Marvel redevelopment, stadium capacity being reduced as part of redevelopment and its ongoing viability as an Essendon home game. Answer touched on some High Mark seats being transplanted but didn’t really answer the question. I triedšŸ˜€

Was hoping he’d say… Yes, it’s no longer fit for purpose for 2-3 of our current home games each year which would be sellouts in good onfield years so we’re renegotiating to reverse venue split to 7 X MCG / 4 X Marvel…
