So apparently, just listening to Caro on 3aw.
It was the the senior leadership group on behalf of their partners went to the the Melbourne bosses and asked what were club were doing about this as theere were concerns around this.
It was a well intention meeting but badly went off course (Her words).
Alan Richardson ran the meeting and said things he shouldn't have said regarding nature of confidentiality.
In Caro's opinion, the meeting should have been lead by Paul Guerra and not Alan Richardson even though Guerra is inexperienced in his role.
Confirmed that someone at that meeting was recording the whole thing and Tom Morris has a copy of thos recording which was provided to him by a player partner.
Someone then leaked it to the players association and were concerned what took place and the breach of confidentiality in the meeting.
It was then put to Tom Harley who then spoke to Paul Guerra and has chosen to say that this is a Melbourne matter and should be only be dealt with by Melbourne and not the AFL.
Caro concerned that someone chose to record this.
Steven May and partner are not happy with what being said in the meeting.
Whoever has recorded it, has leaked it out and made May and his partner aware of this matter.
Caro also said that there has been "teething problems" between Guerra and Steven Smith. I think that was based around Guerra being new to the CEO role.
No mention of Steven King part in any of this.

Teams meeting is a popular and regular avenue to conduct any online meetings of all forms. This happens regularly across many big organisations and companies.
I manage a team in my regional area in the industry i work in and we have weekly teams meetings, one to one supervision and even ones where i have had to be a witness to a disciplinary one one with a staff member with HR included.
Some folks need to get with the times here.

Yep, Howes has been great this year and underrated in terms of doing his role.
He kept Will Hayeard quiet last week and won a crucial contest in the last quarter which shows he is starting to have the belief at this level. He has hardly been beaten this year.
By the end of the year, Howes will be closing in on 50 games which is where we start to see players hit their straps earlier on.

I reckon Daniel Turner may play forward this weekend. I know for a fact that he has been told by King that he will swing between back and forward this year depending on certain match ups as he rates his versatility and marking ability.
It may not even happen this weekend but dont be surprised if there are games where he ends up forward.

12 minutes ago, Stiff Arm said: I disagree, Dazzle.
Without knowing the details of what was said, it sounds like a highly uncontrolled and unprofessional event with no means of really knowing who might be listening in. Can you imagine the ramifications if someone had recorded the conversation? And that's still a possibility.
Apparently no welfare people involved, getting sidetracked and divulging highly sensitive information about alleged dv. It's a balls-up!
Was Sachi Dade made aware of the call beforehand? Did she consent?
Sounds like someone needs to get their rrse kicked.
Even a low grade manager in most workplaces would know this rings alarm bells, let alone senior management of a very public football club
While I don't usually like club leaks, in this case it's probably necessary to pull a few heads in. One person's leaker is another person's legitimate whistle blower.
If this is true, maybe it's time up for Richo?
I think the club had good intentions of trying to keep people informed especially as there was some pretty wild media speculation regarding the situation.
Maybe the club thought they would get on the front foot for both players and wives as Sachi is friends with a lot of the players wives and girlfriends.
Clearly the way it was communicated may have breached confidentiality which in itself is an issue for the club.
But as I just said above, if a player of a partner had issue with this then raise it internally with the club leaders and deal with it internally instead of running straight to the media.
It is seriously concerning that as we speak, we still have people within the club leaking to these media sources.

2 minutes ago, BDA said: The AFLPA and AFL were made aware so it appears that the relevant authorities have been notified. that's fair enough
So why the need to tell the story to that grub Morris to publish in his s*it rag newspaper. that's someone with an axe to grind not someone with the best interests of steven Mays partner in mind.

That's my gripe as well.
If they had issues with the club then raise the issue with the club leaders internally and deal with it in house instead of running straight to the media and out of all people, Tom Morris.

The way I look at it is the club got on the front foot to address the matter and keep staff in the loop especially as their was media speculation around Steven May
I dont see any wrong doing here.
What i do have issues is clearly there are still snakes at the footy club whether thats player or partner. Get to the bottom of it, find out who it is and get rid of them.

17 minutes ago, Queanbeyan Demon said: Voss is one of the best players I've seen - personally taking it upon himself to beat the Filth in a granny. We should all be grateful for that. But an aeronautical engineer he is not.
I was stunned when Carlton appointed him as a coach especially after his track record at Brisbane.
Some premiership coaches dont even get 2nd chances at the top gig let alone s guy that proved to be an incredible poor coach at his first stint.

5 hours ago, Bowserpower said: This is what I find really frustrating.
People jump the gun and share their 'inside info' and then have to walk it back when they are caught out. People are reading these insights and being led down a path.
Been happening for a while. Yet same old folks on here still take those same people on face value because they're too scared ****less to call them out lol

There will definitely be a spot for Viney.
Guys like Windsor, Langford, Tholstrup will start to get tired as the season goes on.
Nothing to do with fitness or anything, just the fact that they are still young and inexperienced and with the game being played at frenetic pace, I can see a world where Vines can come in and give these guys a chop out being a hardened and experienced campaigner.
Viney and Steele together will give us some really good coverage for these kids as we start to hit towards the back end of the year.

Cmon mate..
You're more fixated on Tom Morris reporting the story then the actual story in itself.
Tom Morris isnt the issue in all of this. People having gripes with the media and thinking there is a media witch hunt against the club, probably tells you that its time to take off the rosy red and blue goggles on this one.
