Ask the president

[always right]

Just thought that with Peter Gordon joining this forum it would make sense to start a particular thread where we can ask questions of our new president. Obviously I think it makes sense to have a thread that Peter can come to without having to trawl through the others.

Delete this mods if you think it's a dumb idea. It might result in a deluge of questions and I'm not sure Peter wants to feel obliged to continually respond. Perhaps he can make a commitment to come on the board to answer questions once a week. Just an idea.

The name of the thread is also a bit mundane. Any suggestions welcome.......how about "Throw us a bone prez"?

My first question to Peter relates to our new improved website. Everyone has been impressed by the quality and frequency of the videos. It's made the off season that much more interesting. Can you share with us what the club has actually done to develop this important part of their member communication? How many staff are devoted to it? I read somewhere that we have a third party looking after it...is that right?

Maybe a general Q&A thread first as other posters may be able to answer some questions. Then the best of the unanswered ones can be put to Peter?

I did think it would be a good idea to start with, then I thought once the season is under way it could become an attack on Peter and the club.
The only way it could work is if Peter agrees and the Mods monitor the posts strickly.
For now I think its great to have Peter aboard and would exspect him be treated just like any other poster.

That depends if we are winning or losing

I'd rather Peter was one the lads, and laddetts.

Agreed. I've got no idea who Mjp is which means I'm more comfortable debating than I suspect if I did I'd personally rather not know who Peter posts as.

That will be harder than you think.

True Mantis. Peter's username is Peter Gordon.

True Mantis. Peter's username is Peter Gordon.

I thought Peter Gordon was David Smorgon's username. Not sure what Peter Gordon's username is but as far as I know Suz 32 is Julia Gillard, The Coon Dog is Jose Romero, Hose B.Romero is Tony Liberatore and Chops was Jason Akermanis (or at least they both finished their careers the same way) ...

Peter made a new account.

On a serious note I'd like to know if Peter plans to be personally involved in contract negotiations and if he see's this as part of the president's role.

Depends whether we're trying to contract Brad Hardie.

Huge news that Peter is involved in the forum, I hope we remember he has a huge job to do and don't saturate him with pm's and questions, hopefully he can just soak in some balanced member sentiment on his own terms.

So begins the latest Gordon era!
