I am happy for 100 mug punters to call an EGM where 400 nuffies in total vote on proposed resolutions. That's 25% of the voters.Blind Turn said:And yet you're happy for 100 mug punters to call an EGM to initiate change like the mad Hiscock gang who thought they knew better?
That would be letting the lunatics run the asylum.
Surely 5% is more of a representation of the membership demographic. If change was so desperately needed that the members felt compelled to cause an EGM, surely 5% is more representative than 100 ?
Did you even vote?
Anyway, my post was a sarcastic review of the irony of the club accepting a figure of 300 votes as a mandate for change while demanding 10 times that amount from members. :hihi
The board is now virtually untouchable. Need 4000 (at the end of season 2019) votes to move an EGM and 2 months notice prior to the AGM to bring a resolution. The board can appoint who it likes when it likes and shield board members from facing election. They can also manipulate elections to get their candidate up. Never fear, however, since Essendon covered up systemic doping, and the AFL whipped the daylights out of them, we are in an infinite age of football club boards behaving with integrity and following worlds best practice governance. Essendon? Never again! :rofl
