Another board nomination?

[Rosy]

Copied from Scot Palmer's Punchlines in the HeraldSun.

Several weeks ago we foreshadowed a woman would nominate for the Richmond FC elections and it seems one is about ready to step up and make new ground at Punt Road. That is as soon as she can get hold of the paperwork. We've heard she is a director of a city company and has twice rung the Tigers to be told there was a shortage of nomination forms. She has also been told (and we've confirmed it) the deadline date for applications has been extended to January 8, closer to the annual general meeting. I've a suspicion the lady looming large in the wings could be Karen Oscar, the longest-serving woman on Tiger boss Clinton Casey's "Presidential Men" coterie.

I think if Karen can get on the board, it would be great for all supporters. Karen has been in the past a keen supporter of the RFC and has been involved with sponsorships of players etc.
I would believe she would be able to sort a few things out very quickly. A very determined lady is Karen.

That's sure to rattle a few cages.

Go Karen! We need a shake-up!

 

[Rosy]

Go Karen.

Jackstar's word is good enough for me, ha. :winksanta

I don't get how this works. If nominations close Jan 8 and the AGM has to be held in January it doesn't give much time for the nominees to introduce themselves or push their case does it?

Sounds a bit suss to me, like someone's getting agitated.

mmm, cat among the pigeons? (no reference to Karen or women in general intended by that remark) I am all for more involvement by women in all walks of life - including PM! Stay away from politics, Roar! ok, sorry.

Go Tiges.

Looks like the Colonals days are numbered

But it sounds like the incumbants are getting desperate trying to hold on to power. Obviously the current board are still keen to see through the 5 year plan for mediocrity.

Phew... hold your horses! :-[- Hasn't even been confirmed it is Ms Oscar yet- Palmer could have been talking out of the proverbial.
