Casey snubs Macek

[Boyanich]

Sorry to be so picky...
but if Teflon had done a 360 degree turn, he'd be in the same position...so maybe a 180 degree turn?

And the same with the back flip.  If you do that somersault, when you finish you end up facing the same direction....so maybe an "about-face"?

how about if the back flip incorporated a twist with a flying sukahara Boya?

9.5, 9.5, 9.0, 8.5, 9.5, 9.5, 10.

please Boya, there is always one judge that has to be different, or better still, from a country that is at odds with the country the athlete originated from.

Probably CLINT's perceived two worst traits would be-

1) the loss of revenue to the club.

2) his lack of recogntion and communication to the regular membership.

He has stated that he has put plans in process to rectify the monetary heamorrhage.

He has also acknowledged that he hasn't "pressed the flesh" with non-coiterie members enough.

Time will tell on both these issues.

I think the power of the membership, Phantom's Petition, and the calling for a complete election maybe have made the previous Board realise that we actually exist, and do count.

Let's all be as one for the RFC, and get on with it.

Actions speak louder than words, and election promises mean stuff all. Ask the Tasmanians who voted for John Howard.

Welcome to the world of Politics Rosy. no matter what side of the fence they come from.All tainted with the same brush its just some have more than one coat ;D

 

[Richmond United]

Absolutely amazing! Rosy, i have previously refrained from being openly critical of your "opinions". Sorry can't do that any longer!

You have been calling for cc to change his ways for a considerable amount of time.  We now see that right action seems to be following the right words he delivered as part of his acceptance speech....

You can be as critical as you like RU.  The fact is we've been virtually ignored in previous years.  You may disagree but I discussed that with Greg Miller recently and he agreed change was needed bigtime.

Actions speak louder than words, and election promises mean stuff all.  Ask the Tasmanians who voted for John Howard.

Yes...exactly! The actions of CC at the moment are distinctly those of a man who has acknowledged his past failings and one who has expressed a desire to correct them.

Anyway....time will reveal all!

P.S. Apologies....should've lambasted Ghost as well!  

 

[teflon]

As I have previously said, I am still waiting for someone to tell me what brilliant insight Chuck may have had that we haven't heard about in the past four weeks.

Did you want to hear Mark Latham re-qeustioning John Howard days after he LOST the election?

Welcome to the world of reality more like it. What else was anyone expecting to be said by an aspiring president?
Did you expect him to come out and say, "hey guys, business as usual, things are fantastic, and we know we have stuffed up and will continue to do just that for the club to again move forward"? LOL

Teflon, you are jumping to conclusions. You are too quick to denounce.

How do you know CHUCK was going to quiz CLINT?

Chuck may have been going to offer CLINT a public congratulations and best wishes.
CHUCK may have added, that although they were at odds during the election, they are both RICHMOND, and he is there to assist CLINT's Board if required.

We'll never know.

 

[Schade]

Interesting, I was standing directly behind where David C was sitting (oh by the way great theatrics when asking your questions David, I'm sure everybody knows who you are now).

By my reconing, Clinton closed the meeting on three occasions, and took 2 extra questions.

Clinton did however answer at least 3 questions he didn't have to. The protocol (correct me if I am wrong David) is to state your name and membership number. The first time he was asked where the 1.5mill was coimng from a guy sitting towards the back half of the room - he didn't state his name or his number, then some woman walked up to the microphone and asked some dumb a###d questions about Terry having total authority over the football department and for further clarification on the 1.5, and when told where it was coming from still wanted it explained again - she too did not state her name or her number.

I also had a clear vision of the Big 4 ticket, Charles did put his hand up to ask a question the first time Clinton closed the meeting, and then proceeded to walk halfway to the microphone.

When Clinton closed the meeting and the theme song started, both Gary March & Don Lord pointed to Charles, at that point yes Clinton looked to try to get control back but with everybody on their way out, he seemed to have a dialogue with Charles suggesting that they would get together later.

We will never know, but if your scenarios were valid, then those that needed to hear them, have heard them. The fact that it wasnt done publicly is somwthing that in my mind is non important. Did you expect Chuck to get up and say "I cant belive you won, I am going to bring you down, you have no support from any of the alternative", LOL, and the members would have embraced Chuck with open arms i guess, for being such a graceful loser.

If Chuck is RIchmond and he is, then its not a question of whether, its a question of how and when can i help. The supprters of the incumbents dont see Chuck as the enemy, we all know he has the tigers at heart, a public announcement was going to only be for the looks.

David has never hidden his identity.  : I wonder if some of the other posters on this board would have the courage to post some of the things they have if they knew they could be recognised in public.  It's easy to make cowardly attacks behind the anonimity of a computer but takes great courage and conviction to put yourself up for public scrutiny.

I always thought this board to be a place to have fun, argue, debate, and voice an opinion, not a place where martyrs, legends and heros came to show their courage and conviction.

...........

Yeah, I think I've asked questions at about the last 4 or 5 AGM's, and I also have to remind people who didn't read my flyer in last year's election mail out (with my photo on it) what I look like.

It's tough work keeping in the public eye, I may have to ask Clinton how it's done - he seems to know......         

<Obvious sarcasm mode off>

 

[Chiang Mai Tiger]

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts RU.

 

[swoop]

My oh my! What a veritable typhoon in a teacup!

If Charles wanted to ask his question so badly he (and every other member who had a question) should have been up at the microphone ready to speak in his turn (or can't we manage to form an orderly queue) as soon as questions were allowed. That way, all questions from the floor could be easily recognised, rather than "spotting" a hand waving from any corner of the room. It was packed and I can see how easy it would be to miss a wave from the crowd when on the stage and in the glare of the spotlights.

 

[teflon]

Whatevr it was chucky was goign to ask/say he had plenty of time in the previous weeks to say it and through the medua after the election loss. I repeat, what possible new insight could he have offered ? We don't want to hear from you Lathem-sorry Macek.
DMX-agree with your sentiments re identity on this site.
I don't think David C is any braver than anyone else. I know he likes the limelight!
Hasn't it been a wonderful week?

 

[Rosy]

There is absolutely no doubt that Casey snubbed Macek.

Apparently Macek was going to ask 3 questions/statements;

1.To thank all the supporters of the Big 4 during the election campaign.
2. To congratulate the casey and his board.
3. A question about the finances which would have been very interesting.

I thought it was very poor form from Casey to snub macek and would have been a perfect time to start the unity that casey was preaching about during the meeting.

Spot on Boss.

The "medua" isn't the appropriate place to ask a question of the Richmond Board. :

As well as acknowledging the Boards overwhelming win and thanking everyone who voted for and supported the Big4 Charles wanted to ask a question about the Competitive Balance Fund i.e. circumstances under which we would seek this and what  the implications would be and also to seek clarification of a statement by the Treasurer that implied we would not need a re-direction order in 12 months time.

It's a shame he didn't get the chance. :'(

A record attendance and a record for the brevity of the meeting.  Maybe Clinton and co simply didn't want to take time to answer questions. :

 

[teflon]

Obviously close to Chuck. Well, I'M sure he can send Clinton and co an email and have his question answered. Perhaps he will learn in future to stand up and be a bit more assertive.

Don't think CC is scared of Chuck. Just whipped him in a vote so he poses no threat.

One would have thought Charles would know the answer to that?

 

[Remember Tommy]

There seem to be differing opinions on what actually happened here and so, without actually being at the AGM, it is very difficult to make a judgement call on exactly what happened. I will say this however, can we please drop the topic and just get on with supporting the board as they were all elected, in a just system, by the members of the RFC. They should now have our support and we should be trying to create as much positive atmosphere about our club as possible because, goodness knows, it has been too negative for too long at Tigerland.

Hey Jayfox,

I started a whole thread on this same topic but I'm afraid the anti CC brigade are too powerful. They will not accept the result of the election as DECISIVE. To them a 42% vote in their favour is a line ball decision. They ignore the 58% vote against them and the fact that their President elect got less votes than the last member of the elected board. Brendan Schwab of course ended up as Mr Nobody but you dont hear them mention his name any more do you.

All they are on about is anti CC . Surely its time to unite and get over it. Come on ............. give the elected people your support and if they stuff up again get into them. But for now we should be supporting our democratically elected board.

Unfortunately Jayfox, this isnt going to happen until we start winning games, and maybe then, all these factions may unite.
