Probably all of the above Ernest. Why bring in an outsider as CEO? Perhaps a reviewer with who owes nothing to any of the incumbants in the FD? 

Maybe the outsiders role is to have an independent review of the FD/Senior coach?

Could be a good thing or a  bad thing OD.

Breathe of fresh air with a person that has no allegiances and doesn't buy into past myths, stories and accepted ways of doing things or someone who comes in to make his mark and creates distraction, disruption and disharmony.

However, we know that there is no good outcome without success on the field. And for that we need, top notch players, a top notch team and a top notch coach.   . All these things must be in balance.

not sold on the coach or the need for balance ?

are you pedantic or a man who knows his mind ?.

or maybe I have missed your point completely, something that I do all the time.

I read so many posts and I scratch my head in wonder over the depth of analysis and detail. I think well, it cant be that complicated, its only a game of footy.

In the good old days, we would go along and watch the game, buy a copy of the Herald post match, read Alf Brown's reports of the game, maybe buy a copy of Sporting Globe, watch Pelaco Inquest or World of Sport (depending on whether you won or lost), listen to one of the doyens of the game, agree or disagree on the 3 votes, and forget about the game until League Teams on Thursday night. 

Those great men of the game who have gone to footy heaven would shake their skulls in wonder and roll over.the other way.

I am not sold on the coach and a couple in the FD Ernest. It seems to me like if you do not fit the Coach's cookie cutter than you are at Casey. It seems to me that the successful coaches take their player skills and build a game around the talent available. We seem to be doing the opposite. Why play potentially the best Full forward up the ground. Why play what may be the best HFF in the mid field where he is clearly not performing.

Just not sold that it is all the players fault for our dismal results against any half decent team.

I am with you. There is more to it than player blame.

Well I must say I have had a strenuous outback adventure.  

These Westralians have some quite bizarre habits though. These public “dump points “ in caravan parks are quite uncomfortable and I always seemed to draw an audience of voyeurs. Odd lot. 

Anyway I left a trail of tinea through their ablution blocks as repayment

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
