Nev, how many screens do you go through smashing that facepalm emoji?

Your email address is very much out in the world already. Glance through your promotion/spam emails and look at the list of faceless entities who are in possession of it. Yes, it can open the door to potential phishing, but it’s up to you to guard your nest at that point (which is not that hard to guard if you’re halfway switched-on). 
 

Look, I’m not in favour of the club handing out email addresses, because it opens a potentially-irritating door of more people requesting them for all manner of dumb reasons. But the likelihood of a data-breach occurring from handing out a mailing-list is beyond low. 
 

Take it from a Gen-Xer, internet pioneer. 

You would know then that there's huge differences between signing up to email lists, agreeing to terms where you provide your email or data, having unsubscribe and opt out options by law, how your data is stored etc and providing those details to a third party who you have not given permission to obtain.

I currently work as a senior member of a company that has a huge amount of data collection through apps, email distribution lists and even have to handle financial data, so I'm well aware of how these things operate and how much work it takes to protect data. Ask Optus or Medibank how serious it can be and how taking absolutely no risks is your safest option; rather than taking liberties with data you may deem to be a 'beyond low' risk because 'hey, what's the worst that could happen, right?'

I apologize for my earlier snarky response, it's not been a great week or two, but I'm not with you on this one. Personally I'm already appalled that our addresses are so easily accessible and surprised that, even in a member based organization, those details can so freely be provided.

I can’t imagine what it would be like worrying about whether the wrong person obtained your email address. Wedding invitations sent by group email must be incredibly stressful. 

And I can't imagine what it must be like to be a boomer with no comprehension of how important data is.

And clearly a benefit of the Board's approach to not share emails is making it hard for the Naysayer to get his message out, perhaps a good tactic, but "protecting privacy" is a stretch... 

Rubbish.

Catch up on the 21st century and data privacy mate.

Very small sample size, but fair to say by the majority of comments that old mate isn't winning himself any fans by trying to obtain personal data...

So Corporations Act require postal address (in many cases no doubt a residential address) but club committed to protecting privacy by not sharing email addresses 🤷‍♂️

Clearly an attempt to prevent timely communications to member base....

Yes, why would a corporate entity be wary of privacy matters in the current climate...

They are living off the work done by Peter Jackson, and I've not seen anything they've done that gives me any confidence they are improving us.

Does this seem fair and democratic?  Perhaps voters in Hong Kong would see certain similarities.

I would think that Lawrence would have done his homework on the issue of privacy.

I also think that we would be facing another postal election this year if not for the urging of supporter groups and Lawrence.

We would also not be facing another ego-driven court case disrupting the club if not for Lawrence.

Feels like his passion and want for reasonable change was on point early on but it's now becoming all about him and is damaging the club.

Love his talent, but if Richmond have given up on him I wouldn't think we'd bother. These comments from Xavier Clarke just days after the season finished make me a bit suss on Stack's prospects of turning it around.

“I think we’ll give him another chance at this stage from my understanding,” Clarke told SEN Fridays at the Top End.
“Hopefully if we do, he takes it with both hands and we see the Sydney Stack that we love to see.”

“We all know ‘Stacky’ is highly talented and he’s still figuring out what it takes to be an elite AFL player, that’s the reality,” he said.
“His challenge is now, this time of the year, what he is doing away from the football club.

What next for Sydney Stack? Xavier Clarke on the future of young Tigers talent

The same people lamenting Weid leaving lamented Oscar McDonald leaving.

Might have missed them, but not seen one comment 'lamenting' the loss of Weideman.

Reckon this is just you taking another pot shot. Classy.

David King, Brad Johnson and Jon Ralph were highly critical of his lack of work ethic and physicality.

Work ethic? Was in our top 5 for distance covered per game in 2020 when he played the most games he had for a season.

In that year he covered the same amount per game as Oliver.

Or do they mean all the times they've been to watch him train?....

Seems... thrilled? 

Reckon most blokes have had to do this pose in a photo before and it takes a lot of concentration to push your biceps out without looking like you're pushing your biceps out...

Seems at odds with what Tim Lamb said... ^^^

Tim Lamb would be knee deep in negotiations at the moment, hard to know what is actual fact and what is strategic.
