I doubt it, we have a vanilla flavoured Pres.

 

I refuse to listen to SEN now, that is until the footy season starts again.  It's total pus.

That said, a recap of this interview would be appreciated.  TIA.

I might be in the minority, but I like a 'vanilla flavoured' President.  He can do what needs to be done behind the scenes and let others, like PJ, Mahoney and Goody do the talking.  He's done that well so far and worked really well with all areas of the club.  We can't ask for much more than that.

Very impressive interview enjoy it alot for who haven't listened do so.

Cliff notes?

Talked more about his time in WA playing with Michael Christian

not much else was said we haven’t heard

 

 

It was probably more boring than I expected.  And I didn't expect much.

Well he did address the camp situation so you would have found that exciting.

Okay.  I'll bite.  What did he say?

Yes, it was very diplomatically swept under the carpet...

As you would expect or hope.  He played it all down as a non-event, somewhat unconvincingly I thought, and mumbled about there being a camp in January.  The word 'boot' was not mentioned in respect of that so some here will think that means the will be sitting around a camp fire singing kumbyah while toasting marshmallows.

Oh good. I thought that negative supporters might bring it up after every loss we have.

Guess that won't happen now.

The only thing he mentioned that i found interesting was, that PJ was put in place by the AFL, i always suspected this, but to hear it said from the Prez just shows how bad the club really was in 2013

If we get thumped by Jeelong in Round 1 at home, it won’t just be Melbourne Supporters remembering. 

Players had better win early games...

How will we ever cope with other supporters giving us grief?

Yes, and if we had done the bootcamp and lost the first round, no doubt supporters would be blaming the bootcamp for taking too much out of the players.   Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

That's surprising I have heard Board members very adamantly deny that. They claim he was put forward by the AFL and they looked at him along with other candidates and the Board made its own decision in the end. 

The AFL saying you either put PJ in or we cut off your money had absolutely nothing to do with the DEEcision.

Low expectations have been a mainstay of this club over the last decade or so.

Other camp in January is the semi regular Maroochydore one.

And we have lived up to them beautifully.

Nope , unions been involved and toastings out.
Nothing more dangerous than throwing them at each other providing eye protection is supplied.
