‘It’s time for me to give back’: Bombers flag hero to run for club board.

Essendon premiership hero Dean Solomon will seek to join the club’s board at the upcoming club election.
“I’m going to stand for a position on the board,” said Solomon, a tough half-back who played at Essendon from 1998 until 2006 – and in two grand finals – before three seasons playing for Fremantle. He spent one season as assistant coach at the Dockers before a long stint as a Gold Coast assistant coach, including acting as caretaker coach in 2017.
Barham declined to comment on the election, in which adult members can vote. The Essendon board has a policy of not endorsing candidates, including fellow directors.

That’s impressive? I have relatives who own childcare centres, that’s just a gouge of government handouts that underpin the financials.

And wellness, as I said it’s a gym, but with slogans, relaxing music and a massage facility.

Whatever, let him sit on the board, or not, he won’t make any difference to onfield.

Don’t get this! Ex players rarely have the level of organisational or business acumen to offer anything of value.

Not saying that every captain of industry is suitable either

We need transformation experts, probably with proven experience overseeing significant cultural and performance change in a professional sporting environment.
