How Susan Alberti helped save the Western Bulldogs from extinction and turn the club into a success

[Ozza]

Thank you for that. I think it is fair enough of the security firm to follow instructions. But the issue for me is who spoke to the HUN and made this a big deal

If what we read is correct, Susan Alberti spoke directly to Michael Warner about it, making it a story.

Just give her a special pass and let her use the bloody gate.
She's earned the right as far as I'm concerned. Problem solved.

If true, then I lose a little respect. I can't believe she would do such thing, but who knows.

How many special passes do you give out? There are plenty of people who have helped the club over the years. Take the number one ticket holder, he puts in big dollars but doesn't expect to be treated like a king.

There has to be some rules around running a club.

Let me play the Devil's advocate here. What happens is

Does the pass cover her entourage? And her own security tail or ? Even though the Guv is in the house so security is already in a tizz about the Guv bringing in external parties. Then you made the enquiry about whether being glared at by the Guv when you refused one of her party entry equates to roughly the same thing as their name being on the list and was given a very firm 'No' so this woman who isn't the Guv has got no chance. I'm all for a simple answer and a quiet life but just how much do we change around? How much can we change given the governors presence.?

Alan Johnstone our current number 1 ticket holder.

There's a little thing called 'common sense' that seems to have been mislaid somewhere along the line. I hope it's located soon and put back in use.

Can this thread be merged with the discussion here

Common sense " oh okay I will use the other gate" .
Well we know our men's captain has it, that's a plus.

While I agree in principle from what I hear I think problem was more around the film crew getting the same access.
I agree that Sue and her husband should have something that gives them access but if you are bringing guests you simply have to organise that in advance and that should apply to everyone.

There's a measure of common sense. G is right of course if anyone has earned special privelidges it is Susan Alberi and I would be happy to defend her right to those privelidges with anyone.

But I'm not going to argue the entire entourage's right to it. Especially on an ad-hoc basis on a night when the Governer is in the crowd. They were watching us, we had to get it right.

[Topdog]

She is embarrassed and humiliated? Seriously that is really overreacting.

Given Susan Alberti's incredible contributions to the Western Bulldogs and AFLW she and her husband fully deserve free and special entry to anything at Whitten Oval. She is rightly held in high esteem by supporters. In terms of her entourage / film crew entry , that could and should have been arranged sometime prior to the event.

Fully agree WestDog. Sue is great for the AFLW and you could argue that the competition wouldn't be as advanced as it is without her. To that end she should feel welcome at any ground let alone one that she has played such a significant role in getting set-up.

If however, you are bringing guests then this has to be arranged.

It's important that both PG and Sue get this sorted.

And very soon please!
