Some interesting nominations but very little football experience.

The interesting thing is whether the new Board re elects Nikou as Chair and Reid as Deputy.

Carla seems interesting but yes, there is a lack of footballing experience.

That is desirable (actually, essential) in some board members. 

If you are an an ice cream manufacturer your Board should include people from outside the industry. 

LOL

Is libel Heather Reid? 

Well it depends.

Using the ice cream manufacturer, you don’t need someone from the coal industry for their expertise. It would be helpful to go upstream and look at milk producers or downstream at retailers. 

For football, we need to look at government and football people to a greater extent since they would have experience with funding and grassroots.

It doesn’t “depend”, it’s an absolute must for organisations to do this, it happens in industry all the time. 

Individual nominations are best considered as a Board composite not as individuals - it’s like picking a team, what skills have you got, what are you missing. 

If everyone on the Board is a “football person” it would be similar to picking all strikers in a team and no defenders, there has to be a balance. 

In the ice cream analogy you might pick the individual with coal industry experience over someone with dairy supply chain industry experience because they have relevant skills and experience 

in the case of the FFA Board does it have enough “football people”?

Most likely he is Steven Lowy

"McGree received a lighter sentence, FFA sources said, because he had left the hotel room earlier than the other three players, who are alleged to have subsequently kicked the woman out and left her stranded without arranging transport for her to return home."

Good to finally get at least some explanation for this.

Farks sake ... is it impossible for football to assemble a Board that understands their duties??

I got a kick out of that part. Silly boys. 

why is it their job to organise a lift home? aren't they visitors from her country? 

not Shane Healy. He's a very good administrator, but an AFL stooge

Personally this is another reason why the salary cap has to go, on the HAL yoof contracts poor bastards couldnt afford to pay for the tuc tuc,

Again offering nothing of any substance or intelligence. 

It's nice to have a wide variety of expertise on a board.
But i can tell you this ,if you are investing your own hard earned money in a business ,you want someone at the top who knows the business inside out.

If there is someone like this then there is a greater probability of making good decisons for Football.
But even that is no guarantee ,as we saw with the Lowy's.

Never understood the hate for Frank Lowy. 

He put millions in to the game when no one else would?

Maybe there's more i don't know about lol.

It's not, although it is courteous, but they need to be ready to deal with the consequences if she wasn't happy with how she was treated. 

Is That "If you Knew What I Know" on the Board

Would you like a crash course in women ? 

It really wasn't polite to talk about the candidates for the FFA board like that...

I agree that diversity makes sense but you need to have the same foundational knowledge. It's like saying we should pick a basketball player onto a football team because they have some degree of skill. Everyone needs to have some football pedigree and not go in cold. Using the ice cream analogy, if a coal person was selected, it would be because of their skills/experience in other aspects and they wouldn't be labelled as a coal person. I think we're on the right page and figure this is semantics anyway. 

Theres nothing more to it. Ppl are just grizzle arses who want to blame someone for why the A league isnt the EPL or the socceroos arent world cup finalists
