Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread

[Demons11 6,871]

My guess is Richo and Pert will be gone, hopefully Bartel comes in and takes Richos role.

So Pert is going to "damn" himself?

I think the Board will make this decision.  I can’t see how they can expect to move forward if the in fighting is still prevalent

Under his watch we went from having an administration that was the envy of every other club to become a long term league laughing stock. Complacency and sustained mediocrity did us in. I know this because my Pa kept complaining about it down the decades as I grew up, with late career Robbie Flower the only redeeming feature in going to the footy for a young Demon kid like me. 

Under his watch we sacked Norm Smith and began the downward trend for the next 50 plus years.

Bit of editorialising at the end. He's hoping to say I told you so.

I mean, it would be pretty weird if it wasn't damning of a few people at this stage, wouldn't it?

I was half-expecting it to be a Clayton’s review, pardon the pun

Yeah let’s bring more bad publicity to club.  Just make the changes and move on.  You don’t need to drag the club and people impacted through the mud any further

I don't think that's going to happen. I do think we'll see several changes over the next 12 - 24 months. Richardson, Pert, Green and likely several board members all possibly to be replaced.......total guess by the way.

[Clintosaurus 7,785]

Neither review needs public airing. Some changes will be obvious to see. Others not so. No point giving Barrett etc more ammo.

So keep the members in the dark?

What do we need to know other than the reviews have been received and the club will be implementing the findings?

Keep other Clubs in the dark 

[Demon Disciple 11,953]

Im sure the changes personnel-wise will become apparent as time goes on. So long as leadership indicates that changes have/will be made, that's all we need to know. No need to air specifics to all and sundry.

Sounds like an unwavering faith in the "great and the good" to work out what has been wrong with the "great and the good", make some changes, and we will be "great and good" again at some time. Mmmmm.

Well seeing as many of us as Melbourne members and supporters wish to see more transparency at the Club we should at least expect some kind of report given.

Hopefully, a report of the review, as well as a Strategic Plan at the next Melbourne Football Club Annual General Meeting. If Gary Pert cannot do both these things then as CEO he should be shown the door.

[Diamond_Jim 12,460]

You have to wonder in a system controlled at almost every level by the non-elected AFL what the role of a Club Board is.

When you split out what they actually have control over it's probably less than a country council.

One way of comparison is to rank the MFC Board performance against that of other AFL clubs based on agreed criteria. My suspicion is that in the AFL era we would usually sit in the lower thirty percentile

The only thing we will notice. Is if certain people are moved on or not. 
the Reviews will not be made public

Yes, and particularly you, so you can't use the slightest bit of criticism in the findings as a platform for your ceaseless Lawrence campaign.

It’s actually pretty standard practice not to release the report to the public. Mainly due to the impact it may have on the reputation and careers of those named in it, as Malcolm Speed alluded to in that interview.
