EFC AGM/Board election 2024

Two years ago, a majority of Directors stood for the external review and helped map out the plan to lay the foundations for a new era of success. We appointed Andrew Welsh to our board as Football Governance Director, Craig Vozzo as CEO (he has Premiership football experience and recruitment expertise) and Brad Scott as senior coach. We’ve significantly increased investment in football development program. We also invested over $500k in our high-performance training facilities at the Hangar. We recently resurfaced the MCG training ground at the Hangar. Add in recruitment to the mix. We’re setting expectations and holding accountability. We’re here to improve, to win.

Hi Melissa

Can you please expand on this? I’m keen to understand what has changed. In particular;

Are the appointments of Andrew, Craig and Brad the result of the plan and foundations? Or is there more to it?

Have you got any examples of expectations that have been set or accountabilities?

Aside from personnel, what has actually changed in the last two years?

Not asking any of the above to be controversial or confrontational. Genuinely interested and think members want to see the tangible stuff and not the political buzzwords.

Unfortunately it’s hard not to have a pessimistic mindset when the majority of members care more about onfield success and less about resurfacing the training ground and how much $$ was invested in high performance.

Given the amount of soft tissue injuries and poor results at the backend of the season the last few years, I’d steer clear of mentioning how much has been invested in high performance (unless the club has asked for a refund).
