To give up only two election postions is rediculous, especially when those seats are probabley going to be filled by Paul Kelly and some Melbourne personality. It means that Sydney will have no elected representative on the board.
Really paranoid and screwed up management.
I can see where you are coming from footyhead but I worry that if more board positions were opened up for election, what kind of board would we have elected.

As it is, we'll probably end up with P. Kelly being elected based soley on the fact that he is a legend of the club and is no.14 on the ballot. Does he know anything about the running of a multi-million dollar business? :|

The club is however finally moving in the right direction I think. Shame it has had to take fans demanding/protesting for change for that to occur. Anyway, board positions aside, I just want to celebrate a GF victory before I die. :(

As long as Colless has his clear majority, why worry ?
The thing is that we don't need more business types on the board, the Swans are choke full of business men. We need people reprsenting the common sydney supporter.

Did you nominate yourself footyhead? You seem to have the right passion to be on the board. Would certainly shake up a few things down at Driver Ave. :P

afl.com.au has live reporting. I think the footage of games is even free when you're an international visitor to the site.
