Personally I'm not happy about this Brown coup, He's Eddie's boi and he is already showing signs of having the same leadership style as Maguire.
I was reading elsewhere that Licuria is leaning towards Buckley not being renewed in contrast Graham Wright who's leaning towards renewing him.

If Licuria isn't on the board under Browne, neither will Murphy. They're very closely linked due to their shared business interests.
I'm totally against there not being a football person on the board. If it's not Licuria and I see no reason to vote him off the board, then we should have either Peter Moore or Craig Kelly standing for a board position.

^ Moore and Kelly have obvious conflict of interests.

Would rather stick with Licuria, but I doubt he's there if Browne is president.

Would have been nice of Korda to point out his boards vision for the club, since he's saying Jeff doesn't have one...

Yeah 100% Korda's letter pretty much says a whole lot of nothing, other than they won't resign...

This is a serious issue... we need to know what these people intentions are. Otherwise were better off voting in David Hatley and his mates to caretaker until we find someone with an actual transparent vision for the club....

If Browne wants to get members onside, he better start presenting his ticket and outlining the vision he wants to bring to the club very soon.

Korda and the current board will not budge.

I would have thought the onus is on the alternative ticket to present a vision. At the moment, the vision of the current board is what you see day to day. Other than the men's AFL team, the club off field is flying. The men's team will be rectified shortly.

The onus is on both of them... imo Korda has given nothing.

Need a clear vision from both of them imo

I just want this issue resolved, ASAP, its too distracting. FWIW, i dont want either of em to be President, i wanted a true sports champion, a proven winner, good bloke , in John Bertram, former Australia 2 skipper. He said hes interested, yet not even mentioned.

Licca is a goner.

Any director who introduces Paul Licuria as a 2010 premiership player or mentions the “fantastic win against WA” last year is not fit to be in the board.

I’m voting for Browne and co along with Murphy.

I don’t know what plan or vision Browne has for the club, but whatever it is I know that it is better than what this current group have.
