No, it’s not the club’s fault that no one else stands, but it is certainly what they are hoping for. They are manipulating the process.

I’d love to get some opinions on why it’s been happening.

Is there pressure on those competing for a board seat, to pull out of the running… so the club doesn’t need to fork out 10’s of thousands to pay for an election?

Welcome Dorothy, I wish you all the success so it brings this club all the success.

@simmo41

for anyone thinking that the board is pulling dodgy sht with appointments or elections or whatnot… i’m curious to know why you think they are doing that

There should be a rule that anyone leaving, their position goes up at the next election, with a shortened period in for the successful candidate.

In Local Government Elections now if there is a casual vacancy, the State Electoral Office recounts the votes at the last election excluding the person who resigned, died or whatever. They then ask the person with the most votes if they want the gig and so on down th elist before they call a by-election.

Good idea I reckon.

Out of interest, have the club captioned any videos in the past? Just wondering because I noticed the most recent video talking about Tom Hird is captioned (which I probably wouldn’t have noticed but for this thread). Maybe somebody’s paying attention.

Stacking the deck with their own hand-picked people.
People from outside the loop tend to have their own ideas and perspectives.

Happens everywhere - business, park footy, etc.

EDIT: Remember how absolutely gobsmacked & ■■■■■■ off Ron Gauci was, when Katie & Paul ran and won? The incumbents really, really don’t expect free and open democracy in these elections.

Yes, they started captioning maybe once every ten videos or so, that was just after I kept pestering them, though. It’s still not good enough. They captioned McKenna’s farewell video but the cynical in me tells me it was only because of his accent.

[SplitRound]

Well, that’s disappointing. I hope they pick up their game soon.

AFL - Terrible Ideas, Too Many Ideas, No Idea…

Another day another article about the horrible things done by the AFL. Gill states the AFL doesn’t use NDAs to silence victims of harassment yet the article refutes this claim. No doubt he is lying once again. How can an organisation continue to lie and bluff its way through without any real accountability. Such a joke.
