I never get any SMS updates. I haven't changed my number for years. Is it because I'm with Optoss (though not for much longer) and not Vodafone? yes No, I'm with Optus. Ricc, did you give your mobile # to the Club when you renewed your membership this year? my mistake I thought only vodafone plans ...

yes

Wanting to put in place a policy that bans alcohol and drug taking from official club meetings is a disgrace? :? If the incumbents were smart their response would have been "No problems if that's their main concern, we'll sign off on that . . . what else have they got?" Instead, we'll get...

I believe NB when he said they were discussing alcohol and someone said - and no drugs too... they all agreed. There was never any mention of anyone on the present board taking them. With drugs in the media that's a fair call. Who's to say they weren't thinking about AT! They just made a pact THEY ...

chook23, if the story is a fabrication then I'm sure we'll hear the standard reply "we are seaking legal advice". Jeff Where did I say that Listen to the interviews of both butterss and burkie in relation to the topics they views of some in relation to what was actually said varies that i...

I'm very concerned the current board whinged to the AFL to help them keep thier jobs. They tried to take the power of choice away from the members, who have every right to it, and hand it to the AFL, who have no right interfering in club matters. Is this the final nail in Butterss and Cos coffin? R...

Not much mention on this website but IMHO his comments etc on the grog and drugs was a disgrace in the form that he did it.......In an interview he clearly clarified that it was referring to the board.... Many on here are quick to attack the integrity of RB Hutchy (in relation to Burke) By the way I...

Why would you believe this Journo

Westaway and crew certainly did not think his article on Grog and drugs claim was accurate in what Westaway actually said...

an exchange (not known how severe) may have occured

but Barrett IMO often "strectches" the story

So typical of today's media

As a member, I'd much preferred to hear from a past legend as the problems of our club than some guy I've never heard of. SFF made a good decision on behalf of us...the members. Admire burkie as much as anyone but I do think Westaway should have been the front man tonight............but good use of...

If RB had have answered some of the questions the way Burkie did he would be ridiculed..... Perception Difference one considered past use by date the other a fresh approach and a club legend to boot No matter how RB answers is damaged goods in most eyes Must admit burkie only just ok BUT first time...

speaks volumes about a person.

one already been through process which had involved an appeal system.......

poor comparison.

Westaway attacked the board and their integrity

burke did as well by hutchy

neither parties should have been

noted that yesterday

also in thread mentioned the obvious use of a club icon name........but thats politics

cn you confirm that Patrick smith declared our 323 game veteran, many time AA player and former captain to be the same as that toothless racist prick Joffa Corfe? i would be interested in his actual words... i already had a low opinion of patrick smith but would interested in what he said... dan ca...

St Mik..noones saying that RB hasnt been great for this Club 2000. We were rubbish. Crap list, trillions of $ in debt and we won 2 1/2 games for the year. Enter RB. yes we had some decent draft picks but back then our debt crippled everything we did. Turning the CLub around financially was a major ...

JB how can you consider a cave in on the pokies!!

SFF are asking for more

its about increasing revenue

plus you left off the main plan of attack.....gdanski will approach council....

at least he knows the council office layout......been doing it for 5-6 years

I know, I know, another thread - but I think this is worth a bit of hypothetical debate on its own. Let's say we've got 2 possible outcomes - either the new ticket gets up or it doesn't. How do these outcomes affect the players? Personally I think that a new, football-focussed management would be a...

I can. Mate it's been coming for a long time.

RB's gone, time to move on.

wish the same would apply to GT

suppose with RB gone

finally may allow for RB/GT era to be confined to the history books.

I don't care what their plans are, Thompson and Burke are legends of our club.... that's enough for me - and my mum just rang to offer her support to SFF. Reckons all her friends want change - "the best thing that's happened to the club for years" was one quote. Vote 1# SFF. will be over ...

Sub-committees don't work? :shock: Is he serious? Hasn't he in the last 12 months formed a sub-committee to appoint a coach & one to review our injury management? Fair dinkum. :roll: the point being made a little different to your example..... Football dept. with people appointed .................

Q re Baker Tribunal. KB asked if lawyers on the Board were consulted. RB said Lawyers on the Board had not contacted him !! just to clarify ---if the process (standard practice) at employee level not doing their job.......it would be reasonable to presume that the legal heads may have itervened.......
