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

2021 was certainly a blip in this downward trend.

Transparency is a wonderful thing but brand protection is what it's all about in the real world.

The present EPL imbroglio threatening man City with relegation is being fought behind firmly closed doors. The key question its examining is whether the money paid to the club by Abu Dhabi goes beyond an arms length sponsorship deal.

Probably the biggest case in sporting history but.... crickets

The key is that it's being decided by arbitration and not in the Courts.

This will be the first test of a required communication process.

Transparency with confidentiality. You could call it spin but it can be expressed with explanation that some matters cannot be divulged to retain personal or corporate privacy. Other matters that will be publicly observed will then be explained. WE will be on the front foot and controlling the narrative.

The important outcome is consistency of the message and that there are no leaks. Any speculation by reporters or others must be quickly responded to.

Boards dont work without cohesion. You can't have lone wolfs on the Board disrupting things

That said boards need to be accountable and I am not sure ours has been

Seriously, does anyone on here think that whatever comes of the Review, the press will give us a fair go?

Have a look at the [censored] being said about Brad Greens tweet, the media complained Roffey said nothing to defend the club, Green does exactly that, they say he should keep quiet and mind his own business. 

Granted he has a lot to deal with but personally, i want a president that goes into bat for one of the clubs players no matter who it is or what the media will say.

Nah the narrative will continue until all our good players have left and we are 1:10 every Sunday.

Unless the MFC roll out the Eddie McGuire model that worked so well for the Pies, come out firing against anything that is untrue or unsubstantiated stay a bit angry and a bit Cranky Franky a bit edgy and predictable, Club first rhetoric. Show no mercy to the Media lightweights and give them a pat on the back when they say something positive. Go after specific dung throwers and put them off their game, the supporters will enjoy it and the AFL will take notice that we are no longer the Lambs to the Slaughter.

The irony is our supporter base favour the 1:10 starts on Sunday.

In my experience I really hate the whole setup of boards. They generally have no idea what's going on in day to day operations. They get there information glossed over by one source, normally the ceo, who is just looking out for themselves. 

I knew a great CEO that was replaced and the culture went toxic, very quickly. It took at least 5 years for the board to get an inkling that something was wrong with the culture and that CEO was the fault. In that time I'd say more than half the workforce quit.

There wasn't anyone making the CEO accountable and that lost link of accountability caused the downfall of everything.

This is where we should never of failed. We need everyone accountable but preferably by more that 1 person. Transparent from top to bottom.

That will kill this Club. It is so selfish it’s why’s best for the Club to profit and bring the best footy for its supporters and if we keep laying the bland  contest and defence without attack we will perish and fall on our own sword. 

Let’s read the tea leaves and see the recent premier who dared to lose before the final crowning justifiably rewarded them. 

The Strategic plan still lives 50,000 ave MCG crowd and 75,000 plus membership. And financial growth through sponsorship and corporate excellence.

Great post only way to go to destroy the likes of Barrett Marclure and Cornes some of the time.

The 1:10pm Sunday time slot is actually a great crowd puller for families and IMO would draw better crowds than Saturday night games in winter which we had a bunch of this year.

Carlton V Hawthorn drew 84K for the early Sunday game and we also attracted a very surprising 32K to our early game against West Coast on the back of some very ordinary form. Had that game been a Saturday night game, we would’ve no don’t struggled to get 20K.

I do agree with your point that attractive winning footy will see the crowds increase.

Give me a 1.10pm game over a night game any day, I can actually take my kids and get home before midnight.
