Board Changes

And us supporters are often stuck with whatever board we're presented with

The way it's structured really only allows for a takeover by a group or an agreed change over (or suchlike)  Individuals haven't really got much of a hope unless they're connected in some way.  As previously stated,  1 or 2 stand down every now and again replaced by other like-minded types (IMO)

The merger time brought a change with Gutnick/Dixon etc but that was special circumstances driven.

The Stynes ticket was another but that had it's problems as well

Others might know of other instances but I should make mention again that individually,  the Board members often will have terrific non-football credentials.  That's what makes it so difficult to judge because from a financial point of view,  we're not badly placed right now or at other times in the past

But the supporters just want to win and win big.  Most don't really care about the financials

I do but I want to see the club do exceptionally well in all areas

Why do you think Green is on the board?

There was a group of ex players and other members rumbling about being unhappy. Green was one of them.

The two groups got together, and a represntative from the outside group was brought into the fold.

Much better then a winner takes all board spill election that will be completely emotive: how could the members really know who would be a better director?

    I reckon it's a time thing Deanox rather than Green himself.  He may not be all that suitable but then again he might be ideal

    And they all need to work together

    But over a 5-15 year period we might have any number of board members with real football nous serve on the board

    Then we might be able to make a judgement

    Not really an immediate solution but these things take time.  But we do need to see a swing away from those who aren't blessed with an abundance of football nous

    Not in totality but a nice mix

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
