The FFA board were continuing to oppose the changes right up until the final vote,
demanding proof that the signatures on a statement issued over the weekend that backed the proposals were real

+xWell, if the committees are done properly they’ll have a narrow and defined focus and be drawn from people within the football community who know what the f’ck they’re talking about. They can be complemented by other relevant individuals as necessary. I don’t know committees have been proposed but let’s say they created one around junior football - instead of allowing State Feds to have the sole voice you can have a committee drawn from junior football both advising on, and implementing, recommendations. Like most things, done properly it will work. Just don’t screw it up Lowy 2.0 ... or should that be Lowy 3.0? Good post. The board needs to have an ongoing way to hear from smaller stakeholders instead of filtering everything through the politics and admins of the states. Can be screwed up but sounds sensible to me

If the FFA board were demanding authenticity of signatures, that’s desperate...

To be able to call the extra EGM at short notice required in excess of 95% of the members to support the reduction from the standard notice. If it didn't have that level of support the meeting and any resolutions passed at it would not have been valid. Best to do the normal thing and ensure there could not be any come back in the future.

The bigger story in this is 2 of the FA chairs who signed the statement went on to vote against.

+xThe bigger story in this is 2 of the FA chairs who signed the statement went on to vote against. Politics? The 2 chairs signed the request for the early meeting otherwise it wouldn't have gone ahead because it needed more than 95% of the members approval to call the meeting at short notice. Without that approval the later meeting would have gone ahead and most likely the old resolutions would have been voted down. By signing the request for the early meeting they were free to express their concerns about their views being "ignored" in the CRWG process by voting against the resolution at the EGM but not stop its approval. In doing this they were putting the "bullies" on notice that they won't be walked over when the A-League issue that is their real concern is dealt with over the next 6 months. Their real concern is the A-League taking all the revenue. For this scenario to be plausible the 4 chairs would have had to agree to split their votes 2-2. Thoughts.

+x+xBackpedal 101, then frontpedal again Sport Australia respects the independence of FFA, including FIFA Statute 15(c), and the need for FFA to be independent and avoid any form of political interference. These views made by Sport Australia are to be in no way taken as interference from the Federal Government. However as a major investor in football in Australia and a range of Sport Australia documents being referenced as supporting documents tabled to the CRWG, including the Sports Governance Principles, it is appropriate for Sport Australia to express a view Based on the numbers being thrown around, they contribute a fraction of the cash that Marconi's poker machines do to football. Sport Australia can fuck off.  https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/ffv-lobbying-government-for-election-spending-on-soccer-infrastructure-20181007-p5088s.html

Why shouldn't they lobby for it when the VFL gets all of it's infrastructure paid for.

"Lowy reeled off a long line of FFA achievements under the current model, he also omitted to mention that most of them came in the initial phase of the reformed body, under the leadership of his father." Pretty much this.

Equally if you could reduce the cost for kids to a similar level to some of the other sports then the number of participants would grow as well.
