I don't think former players are the answer per se, but former players who have been successful in business, management, administration, etc would be a different kettle of fish.

Hawks have the best board.
Just look at the club, they are flying in every regard

Yes, Hawthorn have a couple of ex-players with business acumen on the board.

Well guess what....it hasn't worked the way we've been doing things....and some of those ex-footballers have probably done very well for themselves.

This system of being able to appoint someone to the board just because they know Fahour and McLaughlin is a bit of a joke really.

It's showing a bit of contempt for the members this sort of carry on.

Forget being the first AFL club to appoint an equal opportunity commissioner to the board - what about being the first club to appoint a regular Joe fan on the board. Someone who is not a multi-millionaire or a Lawyer.

What I'm saying is that having a couple of board members who understand the inner workings of a football club, and preferably a successful one, is better than having no-one who has experienced the game at a high level.  However, it shouldn't be just any ex-players; they must have other relevant expertise such as business management, sports administration, etc.

i'll give credit where its due. He took over the pies that were a basket case in '99 and got the club financial with big sponsors
and played in 2 grand finals all in 3 years. He was in his early 30's
Whilst they accumulated only 1 flag under his 16 year reign and some might see this as a failure, they are a powerhouse in all facets of football business
