I want the bloke with the dirty tash to lead the rebelā€¦ for giggles.

Visibly shaking his head on camera last night :exploding_head:

Bringing in sheedy reeked of panic. Quite frankly has has no place being at the Essendon football club anymore- unless itā€™s too appear at a premiership reunion dinner

What could he possibly add to a board meeting? Or to a modern football club?

Having him on the board is just another example of the club trying to live off the past

And donā€™t even get me started on wellman being on the board.

With us struggling like we are, Wellman will jump ship again soon enough.

At least he got voted on.
What about the ones when only a short window for nomination, not widely advertised, mysteriously only one nominee, no need to go to a vote?

I donā€™t really get the Sheedy hate I mean it was obviously a bone to the supporters in a hyper tumultuous time but I mean the dude is just promoting the EFC or football in general. He certainly isnā€™t consulted on serious matters nor does he have a decision making or in any way important role.
Like he is the least of our problems.

Direct your attention to the real decision makers that hold real power.

Iā€™d be more sympathetic to that argument if heā€™d taken one of the appointed board spots. Running a club legend like that makes it that much harder for members to get new people into the club.

Thatā€™s fair

Which was no doubt the intention.

Heā€™s a board member, he absolutely does make decisions and hold power.

Maybe he was never on a promise to get an unelected appointment?

Very funny but when people stand up and say how long theyā€™ve been members what theyā€™re really wanting to demonstrate is what a big commitment theyā€™ve made to the club they have loved for just about their entire life. Just like me. Itā€™s a badge of honour, something to be proud of.

We should start a campaign. Call it ā€œFocus on Footballā€.

He gets a vote (1 in 10) and that obviously wields some power, my point is that he isnā€™t working on any important projects.

Is this the best possible defence?

59

Iā€™m not defending him or the club. Im just saying I donā€™t think he is a significant problem in the scheme of things. Although I do take the point that members would benefit from another opportunity.

I donā€™t think he really is either, but I do think heā€™s probably only been put there as a shiny distraction to the fact Brasherā€™s been there about 10 years too long.

And thatā€™s sad in itself.
If he struck out on his own, put together a rival ticket, I think heā€™d ā– ā– ā– ā–  it in. This possibly played a part in Brasher & coā€™s thinking.
