Or, with the information he would of had, but doesn't have now, he could of acted in the same way as the current board.
And if he didn't, it would have been negligent.

I can assure you that there is no way I would have acted as the Board did. Never. Other clubs such as Manly and Essendon have shown how to manage the ASADA inquiries. Our Board wilted and panicked at the first bit of pressure. All reports say that the Board wanted players to sign deeds of release to absolve them of any civil action. The Club and the players security should have been priority one.
To WillyinBris I simply did not nominate.
One matter I would like clarified (and once again you guys have the inside "mail") is whether Gow is behind the Unity ticket? I realise he came out with some press release a few weeks ago. However, is it confirmed that he has put it together? And the obvious question stemming from that is why is Gow behind the ticket and not at the front?

Oh dear.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Well I wish he was on the board during this last term. Then we all could have been comfortable in the fact that we had a legal mind in house to fight for our rights and not allow our club to be bent over and ****ed sideways.
... Without having any more knowledge than what is read in the media ...
Thanks Fitz for the Gow - De la explanation. The whole unity thing leaves me cold.
I have to take issue with you commenting "That's a bit like someone telling someone else how they would play a hand in poker without actually knowing what cards that person is holding." It is nothing anywhere near that.
Without having any more knowledge than what is read in the media. The starting point is that the Sharks are entitled to due process and natural justice. The Sharks are entitled to proceedings being carried out fairly and according to rules and principles, no bias and a fair hearing. I am at a loss to understand why the Board chose not to sit back and put the accusers (ASADA or whoever) to proof. This is a fundamental right to all of us. If a government agency (Police, ASADA or whoever) come with an allegation you are entitled to put them to proof.
The sensible thing would have been to remain silent on issues until faced with proof. And please don't say that telephone conversations and second hand hearsay about needles and equine stickers is proof. In any jurisidiction that could be defeated. I am talking actual evidence. Off the top of my head I could think of many matters I would want proof of starting with the drug allegations. Is there a certificate confirming what the drug was? These is a pretty basic undergraduate question that I have not heard an answer to yet. So it is not like not knowing someones hand at poker, not even remotely close.
Whilst ever we have people like Frenzy who crumble early we are in trouble. "Oh dear" alright.
That's fine Fitzy2513. I only want people with their eyes open next to me in the trenches anyway.
By the way, I have refrained from saying this but I'm going to now. You are doing Cobb no good with your chivalry. Can't he fight his own battles?
They seem like extremely well qualified humans. Keogh seems like a great man to lead the club.
No hate to Irivne but Unity or Peter will be getting my vote before Irvine and Douglas.
Also what agenda has the media got? To push Unity? Is that it? Whats so bad about Unity? They may be the change the club needs to get out of the **** they are in now. As it was the change the club needed before when Irvine got us out of the ****.

Am I allowed to say these things? Someone removed my last post that said exactly the same thing.
Ben there is a thing, sort of like Common Law, called the 'man on the street' test. That is exactly what you and i are referred as. What a reasonable or prudent person would think. Keep it up as the majority are in agreeance with you.
Yes Garbs you are right. So make a differenceDoesn't matter what the man on the street thinks. It only matters what members who bother to turn up and vote think.
