    Trust me, you may be the fittest bloke on the list who has completed the whole pre season without missing a session, an intra club match in between, and it still doesn't stop you from blowing up completely in the first 5 minutes of a practice match b

    So true

    I don’t see particularly “tough” I see a fwd who has a defensive aspect 

    perhaps we lack fwd pressure and presence and AJ brings that

    sheesh having a shaved head and coming from the country isn’t instant tough guy cred for mine 

    low bar

    backing into packs head over the ball that’s tougher

    Hogan's a mile ahead of anyone for contested marking craft.

    Taken the mantle over from Hawkins.

    Very good on the lead up timing as well.

    Not questioning his skills at all but he gets good quick entries into the forward line which forwards love

    Top post @dino rover. There is a significant body of research supporting the Dunning-Kruger effect, which describes how individuals with low ability in a particular domain often overestimate their competence. Recent studies delve deeper into this phenomenon, suggesting that the most dangerous person in any organisation may be the one who is both incompetent and unaware of their incompetence. This combination can lead to overconfidence, poor decision-making, and an inability to recognize or correct errors, potentially causing significant harm to the organisation and its stakeholders.

    I found it interesting 

    apparently Branson explains his success as not be being the smartest guy in the room but consulting and convening the smartest

    i thought in the context of our President and her ability as a media performer it was relevant to consider her role and need to steer not row

    also to reflect on some posts and posters

    “The Dunning-Kruger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) effect is a well-known psychological phenomenon that describes the tendency for individuals to overestimate their level of intelligence, knowledge, or competence in a particular area. They may also simultaneously misjudge the intelligence, expertise, or competence of others. In other words, they are ignorant of their own ignorance.”

    Is there wide application to this discussion?

    how many posters have any experience in a governance role or a senior executive role?

    how many know the difference between a board/ director role and an executive role?

    A board’s role is to steer not row.

    the President doesn’t have to be the primary spokesperson for the organisation or negotiate with an employee as suggested here

    mostly the judgement here has been on the media skills or lack thereof of roffey as if that is the one determining factor in judging a president 

    and at the end of the day CP having courted alternatives stays put!

    This is why he’s pivoted away from football.  
    The devil works hard, but his management works harder. 
     

    People are severely underestimating how much money Trac is making outside of football for everyone in his inner circle. 
    Some of his current brand deals would be worth in the hundreds of thousands. He’s not working with some chicken shop down the road. He’s working with big brands. Global brands. 

    Cash converters?

    • Haha 3

    For a deal to get done both sides need to win

    we don’t have a surplus of elite mids so the deal would have to fix another problem like a forward who can ruck and backfill for Trac - that is a major challenge 

    A team with a weak midfield but still some tradeable assets for Trac? Which club fits that script?

    This is such an important point.

    One of the (many) things that really frustrates me about how footy is covered by the media is the thread of blatant hyprocicy that runs through it.

    Take the way clarry's situation has been covered 

    Media people love to bang on how great footy clubs are in terms of 'wrapping their arms around' players who are experiencing personal issues. 

    But then all season they get stuck into clarry and the club because it's great for clicks.

    And give the club very little, if any, kudos for how they have wrapped their arms around claz and support him through what is probably the most difficult period of his young life.

    And, similarly don't give claz kudos for his commitment and the work he is doing.

    It's particularly galling when it's ex players who are being hypocritical given every one of them would understand how challenging the whole thing us.

    Even more galling is the completely disingenuous coverage about all things players struggling with mental health issues.

    Actually, disingenuous is being kind. The media is a huge part of the problem and rarely a meaningful part of the solution.

    If it bleeds it leads

    The larger game is a 36 year old with 1000 injuries collecting a pay cheque like Ben Brown was this year.

    It’s ok to just be patient with veterans and sign them when required.

    If the club needed a sugar hit of a Gawn extension we are in big trouble.

    We don’t know the specifics of the contract 

    why couldn’t the club contract so that if Gawn isn’t available a lesser payment is made?

    the assumption that we pay the same salary if players play or don’t play - can we assume that?

    I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

    If he had that in him I’d extend his contract 

    but he doesn’t
