Tony Jewells nomination

[nwonash]

I really appriciated reading Tony Jewells flyer.

Does he really think he is a definate does he ? So cocky that he doesnt need to send out a flyer.

Well, I hope he polls last. I'm not going to vote for him.

Time for some new blood on the board.

Well said, Nwonash. It is exactly this kind of arrogance that is costing us success.

All very well to be cocky when we are creaming the opposition, but if the Board loses the the confidence of the members, then we are gone.

I think for too long Jewell has ridden on the back of being the 1980 premiership coach.

There is no way I could ever vote for him.

Look I wouldnt call it arrogance, but rather everyone is familiar with Jewell. He isnt going to offer us anything new, is he? So basically your voting for something that you already know if you vote Jewell. Yes he has been helped by the fact he was our last premiership coach and the fact he is a Richmond man but the time has come for a change.

If Jewell at least made an effort to display this then I may have been keen on sticking with him, but to me he seems intent on just pudging along which I aint.

I agree. I was probably going to vote for him, but when he didn't include a flyer I got so riled at his arrogance that I decided to vote for someone else.

The 1980 premiership was more than 20 bloody years ago. What have you been doing, for example, throughout the 1990s? What do you intend to do for the next 10 years?

The bottom line is that if you can't be bothered to type up one A4 piece of paper to tell the members about your candidature, then you can forget about our votes fella.

Lazy, unprofessional, and impertinent are words that spring to mind.

What exactly has Jewell done during his time on the board at Richmond?? What are we supposed to be familiar with??

The man has been a board member for at least decade and during that time our club has been one of the least successful club in the league, gone through a handfull of unsuccessful coaches and have generally been a haven for mediocrity and failure that has made us the laughing stock of the AFL.

As one of the few constants through this period, Jewell is at the very least guilty by association and probably at least partly responsible for many of the problems that currently afflict our club. But we will probably never know the full extent of Jewell's involvement because he couldn't be bothered typing up an A4 sheet outlining his role on the board and at the club and detailing his plans for the future.

I hope Richmond members vote to remove this and other unsavory elements from the RFC board who have overseen year after year of failure.

You're gone, Tony, gone!

I used to like you cause you played in a great team and you coached another to a premiership but it's all been downhill from there, baby!

So, so long, goodbye and amen!

 

[sabretooth]

Hey om21 - that's a great word *pudging* I like it!

Is it somewhere between a plod and a trudge?

I'd like to use that somewhere, some time. May I borrow it?

Bit harsh!........I too think he has had his time but you cant deny were his heart is.

Yeah, ya might be right Wal, guess I'm cracking under the strain.
