Well some are convinced of the successes of the club on hope and trust (re: training base in Caulfield) so why shouldn’t we provide our opinion on this ‘strategic’ move. I tried to find the font dripping in acidic cynicism but they ran out at Bunnings.

how about they just all shut up for a bit? This was the role that we were baiting Bartel with that seemingly had all the fun stuff a Footy Dept Head has without the pastoral care or ‘people stuff’… So Richo does that until he leaves once his contract is up. I have to say I am not a fan of this role; strategy and driving to a North Star should be of shared understanding and goal and not the responsibility of one person.

He was looked over for the CEO position so I assume the timing is to do with that.

Did he get dropped off on the porch or something?

Great little player. Hope his 2026 is not too impacted by his injury. Great to keep him into his RFA

‘Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.’ They don’t have to talk about the fact that they may be able to soon talk about things that might be happening possibly in a future timeline in this universe or a parallel universe at some point in the future. Just ACTUALLY shut up. And I don’t want to hear from any trainees on things they apparently don’t know much about.

No, actually it would be more like getting someone from outside the industry to be mentored by someone from inside the industry. Say if you got Djokovic to play world football and got Loinel Messi to teach him how to kick a football… Probably should have got someone who can kick. May as well just get Messi in there

They should all just shut up until they have something to announce. They are just the most naive when it comes to messaging and their own image with their stakeholders. Nearly every time each one of them talk - I cringe. For I know ‘that was not what they meant to say’ or ‘they can’t say more than that’ or they are ‘not across it entirely yet.’ SAD!

I put some sadness in it. What a place to be in; high paid CEO who requires development and training in THE INDUSTRY HE WAS HIRED FOR. It’s laughable really.

Organising sand witches is famously difficult for anyone

Glad that’s settled

What is going on here? This thread will be bumped when one of you doesn’t get the ratchet set you wanted for Xmas. Just let it die. It’s like the living embodiment of the Paul Bettany character from The DaVinci Code. Flagellating and whipping himself all silly to get himself to the big O for his supposed god

Exactly right and while I am not as high as DD36 - I can see intent. What I won’t do is live in an alternative reality where we take these ‘hits’ and don’t bleed in 2026. These happy warriors whistling into the void are (most likely) going to get a rude shock.

Well an argument can be made for the Pies…
