So really to be a bonefide voting member of a football club you need to have played the game at the highest level to know how to interpret the clubs results and vote?
Be the same as saying to BHP shareholders you need a Mining Engineering degree to be able to cast your vote correctly at a board meeting to judge the performance of the board.
Doesnt work that simplistic way in the real world and the club have to face scrutiny, and be accountable in all areas.
The club in its Consitution have to subscribe to the Corporation Act of 2001, the club are bound to provide certain undertakings....
Preliminary Objects:
2.1 The Club exists for the benefit of its supporters and the community. It seeks to serve this purpose by undertaking the following.
(a) In playing the game of AFL football, to provide its supporters with enjoyment, engagement, fulfilment and with hope of success.
Id suggest the club have failed supporters with reasonable expectation on point 2.1(a) and supporters have every right to scrutinize and comment on the clubs performance especially as Directors, Players, Staff etc are considered ordinary members just like everyone else under the Constitution and have no elite protected status.
