Many mentions of The Board. Well, who are they and what exactly is the problem they bring to our current predicament.

Is there a direct link between the Clubs governance and its on-field performance?

The Board:

Jeannie Pratt- VISY. Sponsor. Spends her time spending the familys wealth on Arts, surely is a 'honorary' position given late husbands cash injection.

Marcus Clarke- Barrister. Provides pro-bono legal counsel. Useful, but hardly something that cant be bought when needed at Tribunal

Zac Fried - CEO. Shopping mall developer. Handy during the facility upgrade i suppose.

Ahmed Fahour-CEO. Australia Post. Clearly has exceptional business management skills, a required skill set these days.

Raphael Geminder- CEO. Another seat given to a sponsor (VISY). Does marketing stuff for the Club.

Adrian Gleeson- Ex player with a financial planning certificate. omgwtf

Greg Lee- CEO. Another sponsor seat handed out

Luke Sayers- Networker with business skills. Cant see what new skills he brings.

Craig Mathieson- CEO. Finance and business. Pokies money. Brings in the funds.


So we have 3 seats given to VISY, one of them to a old dame with bags of cash, 6 big time CEO's, a lawyer, a property developer, an ex footballer with a TAFE certificate, and some guy who used to work in Washington.

Whilst we can all identify what type of players we need, can we do the same for the Board. I would be interested in peoples thoughts.
