I didn't hear it all, but nothing ground breaking.

- Wants more members.

- Certain people will be putting up a substantial amount of money, but didn't say how much or who.

- Mentioned the desire to move into Casey.

- Nothing about body hair unfortunately.

Hell. He has only been in the job for less than a day. As far as Board transparency, 8 members of the Board resigned last night, 7 new members were elected as part of a smooth transition. Would you be seeking a copy of the minutes of the meeting?? All appointees must retire prior to the next AGM and stand for re election at that time. I would suggest un opposed.

I would congratulate all involved for making the transition as smooth as possible without any bloodshed or acrimony that the Press often dreams up and feasts on.

Stynes has said on the Footy Show that he is taking up to 4 weeks to determine and announce his strategic plan.

This would suggest that Stynes may have come into the top job faster than he expected. Hence not securing the mystery 8th member on the Board.

Lets give him time and support.

deanox was taking the piss.

Errr I think Deanox was being sarcastic, or maybe he was trying to be funny... clearly he failed miserably on both counts

Edit: beaten to it by *this* much.

deanox was taking the [censored].

Ok then lets have more Board transparency *Cough*

Well said.

It is a huge relief that those that have large doubts about Stynes capabilities are getting behind him anyway.

We couldnt have made it as a club with out a bloodless coup.

There seem to be many reasons to be worried about this new regime but a battle(and Im pretty sure a good one was in the wind) for spots on the board has been averted.

My worry is that many of the members of the PG committee have felt underwhelmed by Jimmy so much so , they dont want to saddle up again.

I have not heard anything yet about large injections of cash.

I am holding my breath.

I laughed :D

Ok then lets have more Board transparency *Cough*

I laughed at this also!

From where I stand very few people have doubts about Stynes capabilities.

"Underwhelmed by Jimmy" - Have you met him - Are you serious? These people are exactly the opposite. They're so overwhelmed by the new board's mix of passion and professionalism that they're leaving the running of the club to them.

He'll bring the money. The wealthy Demon fans haven't given money in the past because no-one who's run this club in the last 40 years has drawn there confidence. People don't give large amounts of money to clubs if they don't believe in a club's management. I reckon we'll be pleasantly surprised by what comes next.

Now go and get you mates to sign up!!

Interesting to hear that he mentioned Casey - all I'd heard was a big push re: Melbourne/MCG as our home, and wondered what would happen with Casey.

- Nothing about body hair unfortunately.

That's a shame. I'll try and keep us updated with some further news on Neita's trials and tribulations.

Ok then lets have more Board transparency *Cough*

Haha, nice recovery
