Iād be shocked if 15k bother to whine and or moan.
Correct, itās 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.
Wish someone had asked why we need 10 board members as opposed to other similarly-sized clubs who have less
Whatās the issue with 10? Spreads the workload.
Just under 14,000 members voted out of 80+K
No. Only 7,000 members voted. Each voter cast 2 votes.
Where can I watch this? or has it already finished?
Finished
I shouldāve been more aware that this was on
First time Iāve 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 didnāt really feel listened to in that moment. Iām 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 didnāt get a respectful and honest answer. IMO
āListen here c*nt, I only care about winning games of football, f-ck your school programs⦠anyway how many memberships can I put you down for?ā
It felt like they waffled a bit, a little disappointing.
Having said that, Iām 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.
At least itās direct.

Hear from President Dave Barham at the 2022 AGM.
Impressed by this. Dave says all the things we want to hear
I donāt have it in front of me but 10 and 8 directors are the most common board sizes in the league - I think thereās 7 clubs with each. North have 6 and Swans have 11.
Thatās 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 didnāt really answer the question. I triedš
Was hoping heād say⦠Yes, itās no longer fit for purpose for 2-3 of our current home games each year which would be sellouts in good onfield years so weāre renegotiating to reverse venue split to 7 X MCG / 4 X Marvelā¦
