Just had a look at the website. It's been put together by spin doctors, just like the ones politicians use. You can't voice an opinion; all you can do is agree with them. No thanks.

    Only had a brief look but i agree with you H&S

    I cannot see where you can say

    No Thank you Alan.

    All of the options suggest support in one form or another.

    Makes me even less supportive than ever.

    "Just a query, where on the website can I vote "no" for Stockdale? Seems to be a glaring oversight by whoever put the poll together. Is it a bit like a Zimbabwean election?"

    Lol, it was removed immediately, so much for inclusiveness. This ticket is a sick joke

    "Incluveness" is apparently conditional.

    I have asked some fair questions on the facebook page but they have been deleted immediately. It speaks volumes about the ticket for mine.

    They have made themselves a very unifluential enemy.

    AFL endorsed ticket. That way we can blame them if things go "[censored] up"

    This may have been a throw away line but as we have seen with all of the AFL projects they do everything to ensure that they do not fail.

    If we become the AFL's next project then we are choosing the path of least resistance.

    Alan Stockdale....."My Way or Else....."

    If Alan Stockdale or Ron Walker or any other brandy snifting, pheasant hunters get in we are truly "fooked" and I give up! Support at your peril! When the hard work is required they will be running 100kmh in the opposite direction!

    I am not saying I am a supporter of MM, I don't really get what they are trying to do with half a Board anyway.... But, people are being harsh. Saying the lack of "No" vote on their own promotional website is evidence of "my way or the highway" is a bit ridiculous.

    On the face of it, they are trying to promote a members' driven ticket. Do you expect a political party to have a poll that says "Vote me out"? No. That's what elections are for.

    At least they are putting themselves forward motivated by taking the club forward.

    I get your point here 'Choko' but one of their big planks is letting the members have their say. I didn't see anything about letting the members have their say but only so long as you agree with us.

    But isn't their point that voting for them is having your say, rather than the appointment/anointing of alternatives without election?

    Look, I am not convinced that backwards is the new forward, but I also remain uninspired by the alternatives, and frankly concerned that people are going onto our Board that have not faced the members at any point.

    I am happy with an AFL approved dictatorship.

    They control the draft, they control the fixtures, they have all the contacts and they have the big pile of money.

    I think we have run out of alternatives. Really we are already at the mercy of the AFL.

    I think in an ideal world the board should face the members but this hasn't happened for quite some time now. Unfortunately the factions within the club have brought it to it's knees so I'm happy to let things get on track for the first time in such a long time. Then we can look at the governance and democracy issues.

    Sorry Choko I don't agree.

    His stated message was to guage what members want.

    If you then limit what you want from them it is not guaging the desire of the membership.

    It is asking for the answer to suit your position.

    He could say look 5000 people want me to stand for the Presidency.

    When in actually fact 20000 might be trying to say "no Thanks Alan we do not want you."

    But their desires are not allowed to be given.

    Typical Political speak as far as I am concerned.

    You don't have to be sorry.... but you don't have to be correct either!

    Surely seeing how many of the members sign on to actively support him is a good way of knowing what support you have. If I am going for a job, I don't line up all the people who don't want me to get it - I try to get a critical mass of supporters. It's for others to knock me down (and I suspect this will occur!).

    The same attitude prevailed at the Dallas Brooks Hall in '96

    Members denied their say

    MOVE FORWARD YOU BASTARDS NOT BACKWARDS....

    I was at Dallas Brooks and I agree with you. But it is totally different. This is a promotional website because they want to be appointed. It's setup for them to promote their interest and test the waters.

    Dallas Brooks was a constitutional/member vote.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
