Kate sacrifices her chance to be at the GF even though her team is still in the running. 
🙄

Is that confirmed?

She inherited an extraordinary position. Outside of her connections with the Dan Andrew's Government at a time we are pleading for a club centre, she offers nothing. No loss.

Really?

She's been a club Director for 8 years so has a share of the ownership of the current status as much as anyone else.

Failure is an orphan, success has many parents. She qualifies in the latter.

Staying home to allow another, and most probably Pert, is a class decision on her part as Chair. Impressive.

(Juxtaposed to  Ed McGuire's attitude. I can hear his moaning already on tonights Footy Classified.)

Pert as leader of the Mgt team, and reporting to the board must be in Perth. (as should be water-boy/ PR/media manager extrordinaire Ben Gibson. Great seeing him get around the team after a goal. They clearly appreciate his off field work too.

I was thinking about this, I know he probably wouldn't be up for it, but any member of the previous successful era, starting with RDB31 should be given a ticket and some grace to be there. I would dearly love to see Ron hand over the Cup to Max. 

RDB will unfurl the flag!

Think it might be another former captain handing over the cup should we salute the judge.

Not sure. I’m only going on the info in the op.

McGowan is so clueless, he’d probably be asking who RDB is

Would Kate Roffey actually be allowed to attend the game?

BTW I think she's done a fantastic job so far..

She. Offers. Nothing.

What the eff is up your you-know-what?

Not a fan of what the board did to Bartlett? Seriously, get it out of your system. It’s done.

I love how whenever someone (who claims to have mail) on here makes an outlandishly specific comment about someone at the club, they go into hiding and never respond to the replies and hysteria that inevitably eventuates as a result.

I mean are people really that desperate for clout that they have to resort to making posts like this? It’s just pathetic.

Nice bait from you mate, might wanna stop taking posting lessons from @Mach5 🤙

Was thinking the same DD. The club president is in no way essential to the team performing in a Preliminary or Grand Final and if based on the G2G application criteria would likely be rejected automatically without even being reviewed by a person. This said the AFL does have a different agreement with state governments so the criteria may be different.

While WA has been alot more strict re not allowing the players family members into the state I think this reflects a balanced approach where other non-residents cannot get into the state on compassionate grounds. Personally I would not want to travel interstate for a month without being able to bring my family. Compare this to Queensland where the NRL have brought large contingents into the state at a time a two week pause was put on its own residents returning to the state.

No major issue with Roffey here mate, just not a fan of Pert’s record or him trying to spin a lemon. Up to you.

But is the big fish coming, GNF? Danger's over the line, right?

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

Demonland, no need to get aggressive. What I have said is true. KR is the best Chair we could have at this time as the Boards main aim is to get the Andrew's Government support for our Social Club & Training Centre in the MCG precinct.

KR has little to offer except woke culture change (if you think this is a good thing) outside of her connection with Government.

KR is what we need to succeed in the most pressing long term issue for the club. Our home. Outside of this, she offers nothing. This is not a criticism. Like many on our team she is a role player. 

That we will win a Premiership under her reign is her luck...... but god bless this luck if it gets Dan Andrew's to give us the land we want with some Government funding. 

The Board has a very diverse set of commercial talents, networks, opinions and skills. This makes them great. At this moment KRs network is needed the most.

Really should have quit while you were behind.

Just stop.

[Skuit 10,031]

I would prefer our president to be in Perth right now. For what is a seriously important commercial opportunity should we get the chocolates. I love that our squad are all there bonding, but did we really need Austin Bradtke et al on the bus?

Truth? Nothing is more subjective.

If this is the bleating heart of a Bartlett acolyte; he was there long enough and his last year was inconsistent and strained especially with his comments toward Goodwin.

He had a great tenure from a long way back, the furthest way back, and while he got help from the AFL. We all will thank him for his service and hoping for the success of Kate IS NOT to diminish those in the past by comparison.

Only someone suffering from severe sour grapes would think that.

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

This has nothing to do with Bartlett. 

KR was elected President with one ambition, one KPI.  That's is to use her close ties with the Andrew's Government to convince them to back our MGC precedent Social Club & Training facility.  If you ask KR she speaks openly that this is why she was elected and this is her mission. Her skill set and network outside of this is limited for a football club. 

Good luck to her.

That is part of culture. All in together, not just the current side. We will get more out of all players being there, than Board members.

Thanks for this redleg, you beat me to it.

Imagine the benefits to young Bradtke being on the inside of the hub during the most important 2 weeks of the club's last 50 years.

The culture and camerardie he will absorb and lessons learned observing the preparation of the leaders and lesser lights  to keep for when his time comes.

To leave out list players like him would disintergrate parts of the culture.

Your'e judged by how well you treat the lowest ranked.
