AFL clubs only hold elections when one or more club members seek to contest a place on the board. Not all clubs hold elections each year, as often the incumbent board members seeking re-election are unopposed.
O’Sullivan, one of three women on the board, is also a member of the Melbourne Racing Club and has been active in using that corporate background to help the club divest of their 180 poker machines.
Amrit Singh, a former state organiser for the Australian Labor Party and Victorian leader of the party’s Yes campaign at the 2023 Voice referendum, with a long history in government relations, is among those challenging for a spot on the board.
Other challengers include Gary Vistarini and Luke Maxfield, who both stood at last year’s election. Natasha Foster, who has a long corporate history in risk management and compliance, is also standing for election.
