Disappointed that this isn’t a full external review as initially reported but I do think there are contract and soft cap concerns if we were to make mass changes in our administration (had a fully external review called for this)

And at the end of the day it is the FD that is responsible for our on field performance and I’m glad that this will be the primary focus of the review, as for better or worse it is clearly the area that will dictate our performance in 2025 more than any other 

I agree that if it isn't a full external review its disappointing but don't agree that the FD is solely responsible for on-field performance. 

Fitness and injuries are critical. Our injury management has been poor since the end of 2021.  If you send players out to play that are unfit or injured then either they don't perform to the standard (ie our entire team from mid 2022) or exacerbate the injury and miss lots of time (ala Clarry, Spargo etc).  A review absolutely should include our medical/fitness departments and the CEOs role in resourcing and managing those departments.  If the CEO does the review it will be a whitewash.

Agree this is more a Claytons Review if it also involves current personnel, but at least its a start!

Apologies as I might have missed some information among all the posts - It's quite hard to keep up with everything - but where has it been reported it's not a fully external review? From what I have heard, Darren Shand will have full control of the process. Has someone said otherwise?

Jay Clark and Tom Morris have reported that Pert and Green will conduct the review alongside Shand

Thanks for passing that on, I've missed that in the pile. I'm not sure I would take that in the same way others have - It wouldn't be a surprise they're involved would it? They're both in charge of key areas. I don't think it would necessarily mean they have control over it as such. I do believe Darren Shand will have autonomy.

Obviously the President and CEO have to have a role in the process. Who would we like to oversee the process? Bozo the Clown.

Let's see how it progresses before jumping to unnecessary conclusions.

We have just had our dirty laundry aired out in the public eye for the last 3 months, and you want an external review containing all our flaws send to McClure and Morris for more punishment??

You want any findings completely buried again, like last time? Professional reports for public consumption don’t engage in witch hunts, denigrating individuals or airing dirty linen, they identify areas needing improvement & set out specific actions to achieve improvement.

Let's see the TOR before we judge thus Pert and Green being a part is not a good look. Shand could be a sham!It doesn't stack up as an external review in my view

Your confusion comes from the fact that the Club has said nothing officially.....

Haha.

Perhaps. But given the club has said nothing officially it could also be said that the continuous negative comments about what it entails and how it's setup are perhaps premature as well.

Announcing green and Pert as part of the EXTERNAL review is enough for me to remain negative

Pert and Green are always going to have some involvement. I don't think they would be running it or interfering to any extent.

We shouldn't be releasing the findings or recommendations publicly. implement the changes and get on with winning the 2025 flag.

personally, i wouldn't accept anything  short of a full royal commission.

let's do it properly, none of this boy's club stuff

According to Morris on SEN we are having an external review 

Morris will also confirm later that he has heard rumours that the band is , in fact , up him, despite previous uncertainty.

That hasn't been announced, it's been reported by journalists. You're waiting for the TOR I thought?

But the media always tell the truth!!!

I see Michael Warner is having another crack. 

AFL HQ have to be at least somewhat on board with the media's continued attack, as they like to control everything, including shutting down unfavourable stories about certain other clubs.

I love that people on here seem to think what's going on at the club but cannot tell me with facts and they just assume they know, and you know what that assume means? I'll wait for the results.

What results you mean of the review? You will be waiting  a long time and it will say nothing

Hope you don't get too disappointed

This from a club who resisted any review and is defensive rather than transparent

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
