The New Board and FD

[rjay 24,927]

I do understand that many are unlikely to remain in current positions for the simple reason many of those jobs will be redrawn. You could well be right rjay that Jackson is operating in the manner you describe.

I think Mahoneys abilities are looked upon favourable by Jackson but where they can be best utilsed in a FD we'll only know when we see the nature of the new beast.

Id be curious as the the model being envisaged. I think Jackson likes efficiency both in design and implementation. ( dont we all ) so am leaning towards a far more streamlined FD ( possibly less personnel ) but with roles expanded somewhat and higher caliber people doing them. Payroll doesnt change a lot but synergies and outcomes would change dramatically.

Decision making becomes more effecient and time spent in 'meetings' decreases. Less talk, more action

See it pretty much the same as you here and think that along with the board these things are vital to the clubs future. I have faith that this time we will get it right.

Basically I agree with you and bb.

However I had the same faith in 2008 and look where that ended!

I'll leave it to others to post generic links to public information.

What a smug response. How about you just post the link? There's nothing on the MFC site or either of the main newspapers websites.

Apologies - that reads far more obnoxious than it was intended.

There is no news link to the best of my knowledge. I'm sharing a tip.

Completely understand your point 'old dee'.

The AFL have stated that they will have a say in the composition of our new board. The Commission meets next Monday to discuss our assistance package, so it may become clearer after that.

[jnrmac 20,064]

Wow a real discussion thread - there's a novelty....

Keep it up.....

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Bartlett ! I was worried it may have been Kevin.

Has anyone heard the results of Trotters Audit on the current board.

Or does the amount of resignations suggest the results are done?

I acknowledge that but as the rebuilding of the board is a dynamic and ongoing thing I dont ( for mine ) see why that would wait for an announcement. I think Monday is more about the $ Value and a heads up on where its likley to sway re draft help.

If Chook is right ( and have no reason to suspect he may not be ) then its a very different type of board coming our way. Very business at hand style. A handful of 'outsiders" cant hurt. In a way then wed be just widgets, that is to say the 'blinding' passion and bias would be absent. Not altogether a bad thing in business

I would add " and approve the new board members / President"?

yep...dont hit them

MFC better check on the spelling of his name. It's Glen in the text of the website and Glenn under the photo.

I note he's ex-WCE. As a matter of interest (and this is definitely not be interpreted as any criticism of our new Director) but I couldn't swap allegiances just because I move interstate. Could any of you?

[Pennant St Dee 13,173]

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but he is starting on the back foot

Hate East Perth with a passion

Meth Coast I hate even more

No.

It is good to know he was a Foundation Hero and a member for a few years, the idea of picking up non-Demons for the Board is abhorrent to me.

He played 4 games there 25 years ago. Left in less than harmonious circumstances.

He's a Melbourne supporter since childhood.
