Unlike most other punters on here I’m bitterly disappointed Robbo might hang up the mic.
I found it strangely comforting to turn onto the only journo who had sunk more booze than me that night.
If you think MFC’s football program develops players as well as Geelong and Sydney on a consistent basis you’re on something stronger than a few drinks.
He’s got over 25 possessions once in 95 games and over 6 clearances also once.
Warner had 7 clearances in the last quarter on the weekend.
I always liked him but we just cannot develop players like the best clubs can.
I’m not normally a conspiracy theory kind of guy but I’m pretty confident Trac, @Demonland and @binman orchestrated this whole charade for extra clicks.
Can you imagine the increase in google ad revenue from Demonland?
Always follow the money.
I understand it is a business and professional sport so it’s ruthless.
However when I’m firing/moving people on, which we all acknowledge must happen at times, you have to be careful.
The ones that stay and the ones you want to keep are all watching very carefully how you treat people.
He’s been in AFL management for 17 years. Somehow the playing groups opinion of his performance for the majority of that career (~10 years) isn’t relevant.
Make that make sense.
So a premiership player and Brownlow medallist who has close connections to that playing group, can’t have an opinion on the CEO he played under for 9 years, his whole career basically.
Tell me how that’s irrelevant?
I listened to Dane Swans podcast (and lost 20 IQ points) and also learned that Swan and the players didn’t like Pert at all. They were joking about how people who don’t like him don’t call him “Perty” and Swan said the playing group had plenty of other names for him.
He is quite fond of Eddie. And said even though he was a nuffie he was passionate and professional.
I’m sure plenty will denigrate Swan as no brain surgeon, but he definitely does not GAF and is very honest.
