Blues vote out Smorgon
February 3, 2007
There was a stunning development in Carlton's traumatic off-season last night, with president Graham Smorgon and director Lauraine Diggins both missing out on board positions.
Smorgon, who headed the Carlton Unity Now Ticket, was voted off the Blues board along with independent Diggins. Driving Change Together candidate Ross Fiore also failed to pick up one of the 10 spots up for grabs.
The club has endured a wretched off-season and it had been an extremely bitter election campaign for the Blues.
Ralph Carr, Marcus Clarke, Zac Fried, Adrian Gleeson, Mark Harrison, Paul Littmann, Stephen Moulton, Richard Newton, Ari Suss and Simon Wilson were all elected to the board last night.
These directors will join Stephen Kernahan and Greg Lee on the 12-person Carlton board.
More than 2700 ballot papers were returned by Carlton's 4879 registered voting members.
Carlton vice-president Kernahan, in congratulating the successful candidates, said: "It is a new-look board that will be working together for Carlton, with three new directors joining the board and with the members supporting the appointment of Ralph Carr, Zac Fried, Mark Harrison and Stephen Moulton, who joined the board in December.
"I would also like to take the opportunity to thank and acknowledge the contribution Graham Smorgon has made to the Carlton Football Club over many years, in particular since being elected as the president of the club in 2006.
"Graham has made a significant contribution to this club since joining the board in late 2002," Kernahan said.
Kernahan confirmed that the first meeting of the new board would be held on Monday at Princes Park.
