BDA

The problem is not that she spoke, it’s that she spoke so badly and was unprepared. I’m in the camp that footy issues are perts domain and better if he spoke, but expecting your president to speak when the club is copping it is not unreasonable

If we can get a top 10 pick and another in the late teens for Trac I’d trust JT to find 2 good players for us. players will come and go. Things never as good or bad as they seem. As long as we have JT we’ll be right.

A long way to go until the end of trade period. This is all so pointless by Trac because the chance of a viable trade is practically zero. He has the most blame to shoulder for this shambles. And his "brand" advisors. Perceived or not, the club looks like a basket case. The press are just going to feast on us and our leaders have no plan. Strap in demonlanders. It's going to be open season on our club for the next few weeks.

Trac is a grown man. Blaming his missus is low. He’s been promoting his brand before she came on the scene so just as likely she’s doing what he wants her to do.

what did you like about it layz?

You forgot amazing. she's truly amazing as well.

I'm looking forward to this game. will take my mind off the sh*tshow that is the rest of the footy club at the moment. strong team. we should have enough to win the game and get our season off to the right start and best of luck to our debutants.

the president should be talking with one of our most influential players after the ordeal he has gone through simple stuff

i always suspected you were a troll. good work

i said if true go away fool

a media person with some integrity. very rare

why won't they work with her? i'll be gobsmacked if this is true

First up. she knows nothing about footy and presiding over a footy club. If she did she would have visited Trac. She should have stayed as a board member with responsibility for the home base. her one task (and a big task at that) Pert should have done the interview. where is he? And whats the go with Brad Green. whats the point of having him on the board? The club need to stop trotting out the same lines. Stop treating us like fools. There are problems. Acknowledge them and tell us how you intend to deal with them. I can;t say i have confidence this will happen. External review needed. Peter Jackson to lead it.

she has made matters worse the tone and approach all wrong. more deflection and spin "we are working hard in the background". doing what? what's the point in doing interviews just to give us more of the same. the same that has got us into this mess in the first place. just be truthful and sincere Kate yes. Trac has said he wants to be at another club. He has raised issues which are valid and which we will address. Thats where you start imv. what a mess

didn't answer my question. you're a time waster. don't bother responding to this post

if he goes to the eagles i want harley reid in return

what are you going on about? the reasons have been listed already in this thread. what facts do you want exactly. one example. the board promised a new home base. they did not deliver. and it doesn't matter whether you think that is an important issue or not. It's their metric. at what point do you think they need to be held accountable on this point?

Yep. nothing to see here.

wasted millions on legal cases, no home base, poor comms, Pert spaffling on about culture and making himself look like a fool, brand trashed under their watch the list goes on. Do you reckon this board deserves a clap on the back. everything is hunky dory. what are they doing right at the moment?

Nobody comes out of this looking good. Shambles all round. Barass doesn't have anything like the profile of Trac. and he's Perth based. Trac is torching us. He has brought all the media focus. He set this whole chain of events in motion. I'm sure he has valid grievances but talk of brand and bigger clubs is a slap in the face to us supporters. I was a big fan of his before but he'll be no favourite of mine when this all settles down and he has to re-integrate back into the team. there'll be no cheer from me when his name is announced on Rd1 next year. I'm not happy with players leaking no matter what the reason is. Thats not leadership at all. I've lost faith in the board. We need a proper external review of the whole club. I'm very disappointed all round

what is the club doing right at the moment? just facts please

I haven't been following either but i don't have much faith in McCarthy. and Dak has got to stop throwing picks in big games.

These exit meetings may as well be held in public.
