Dee-luded most of what you say is correct however I do think it necessarily needs to be an x player of the club.

Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn and St Kilda seem to have done fairly well without a x player at the helm.

The wrath of everyone will probably decend on me for saying this but here goes.

Part of the problem may be our leader Jim.

I know he saved the club, not doubt about it.

But this year his illness may have kept him out of things more than in the past.

Particular the last few months.

As a result numerous people have wandered off doing there own thing.

With the current result.

What we need is a fit Guy at the helm.

Now I may be 100% incorrect and yell me at will

but I believe Jim's illness has contributed to the problem.

You may be right But Jimmy has been the Ideal choice to get the Club back on it's feet,,, and maybe our office boys have been guilty of going too hard at it, for the same reasons of our near demise. /this may have caused some rash decisions where we tread on Much Loved Players toes.

I don't believe these boys are a bad lot, but may have got a bit Over Enthusiastic, wanting to change the World Overnight. Steady as she Goes there Lads.

Back to Jimmy, we need to treat him with the Utmost Consideration and Involve him in our Ideas about where we go from here on in, and which is his best position within our structure Next Year.

He has to be Involved closely.
