Looks like K Rose will be challenged (and it's not me):

This site started last week and has been updated today.

Kevin Rose as whilst he has been a great servant of the club, at 65+ years of age, it's time for a youthful vibrant person to relieve Kevin.

Thoughts ??

What an absolute pile of shit.

Some pleb from a fansite is going to challenge a Collingwood legend in Kevin Rose.

I can hear the laughter eminating from the Lexus Centre already.

An absolute farce.

There is nothing wrong with a person standing for a position that will become vacant, it is not about taking on a Collingwood legend it is about who will be best for the job in the time that they are appointed. To come out and call someone a Pleb just because they herrald a background of a Supporter from the internet smacks of small mindedness and an inability to recognise a persons right as a memeber to stand for a position if they desire to do so. All I see is someone putting up their hand to have a go as they feel that they may have something to contibute and is offerieng an alternate choice. If this person is committed to his/her cause and has the guts and ability to follow them through then why should he not be heard.

BTW, I have no idea who this person is, but I am proud to see that this great club has people who are willing to put up thier hand and give back to a club that has given so much.

Cheers

There are many many members of our club out there who would have something positive to contribute

As a voting member, I for one would be very willing to listen to the views of a fellow member if he/she was a committed, legitimate challenger with well thought out arguments and a plan for implementation (even if they are not - they are still entitled to challenge - the Republic of Collingwood is still a democracy)

There have been and are issues with regard to members and especially our interstate breathen - perhaps this challenger has strong views regarding these issues and can offer a greater voice or input from us the everyday members - or they may just be a disgruntled pillock - let's wait and see what transpires before we write them off

Either way - I hope that Eddie does not see this as a challenge to him or a demeaning of what he and the Board have achieved off- field and respond as he did to the GF ticket balloting system questions during last years AGM

BTW I have no idea who this person is

Who specifically are you talking about?

If this person is serious about being elected to the board, they better get their site updated pretty quick. The AGM is less than four weeks away and there isn't much time to impress the voters.

What is your concern H? Is it the fact that somebody would challenge KR or do you consider anyone from the boards unworthy of challenging?
