I'm very curious about this. Any idea why they are so put off by her?

Isn't replacing the President and board where you start if we are to seek change? They set the direction of the club, they're the ones who can call for a review and set the parameters of such a process. They're the ones to intervene if something goes wrong that can't be adequately resolved at the lower levels. On the Petracca issue the Coach, CEO, President and Footy boss are all marching to the beat of the same drum which implies a level of complacency across all the leadership positions that has lead us to this point.

Which one was that?

"I can't speak to this. I'm not across that. Media media media."

Would be happy to take Josh Mahoney back.
-
Not sure he wants the job but it amazes me we seem to have such trouble finding normal competent people to run the club. Every group have their own weird self-serving agendas.

This is [censored]. Essendon didn't have an exodus this bad after they got their players banned for PED's we're having one three years after a flag. FML this club.

Peter Jackson being put in charge was essentially an independent review with the teeth to make the changes required.
-
PJ came into such a ****show he sacked half the club and they all said "yeah that's probably fair enough."
-
I said it last week but that SEN interview before the gold coast game Pert gave was awful. Nothing he said sounded sincere or substantive. Just a bunch of excuses, spin and complaints about all the things we've had to deal with that can't be controlled by a CEO. Mate, if you can't take control maybe let someone do the job who can.

Where are you hearing this?
-
This seems completely contrary to what has been reported.
-
How has there been no update yet? According to the pdf the council put up the report was supposed to be produced in June.
-
Not sure 6-6-6 had that great an impact. Centre clearances are only a part of it. We put extra numbers around the ball and cheated forward a lot. Would love to see us go back to that style. Our backline isn't nearly as shaky as it was back then so we probably pull it off even better these days.

Gaz was cracking jokes with McRae about it on Saturday.

One thing I hope we can get on top on this off-season is the constant leaks out of the club. The media report what they hear and they seem to hear a lot from us. By yesterday evening we had the ins and outs of a player only meeting and a little swipe from the club at the people around Petracca outside the club. Go back to last year and you have all the stuff that got leaked about Oliver's issues. I know leaks happen but we do seem to have more than other clubs. It just creates fodder for the media and I can't imagine it's good for trust within the club if something you say in confidence gets a run in the papers a couple of days later.

Got the sense from his post-game was that he has been told by his manager to straight bat questions about his contract. So not overly concerned with his answer. I expect North are offering him something like 3-4 years as a carrot. If its 4 years on money we can't match you almost have to let him go and thank him for everything. If he goes we can probably upgrade our first and get another second back, so not the end of the world. Reckon he probably signs a two year extension with us though.
-
I thought he was terrible. Basically played down all the issues at the club and spent a lot of time making excuses for things that are apparently out of his control. A far cry from Peter Jackson who would openly talk about the clubs flaws and a determination to fix them.

Collingwood were a massive story over the 2020-21 period. It ended with them sacking their coach, president, CEO and footy boss and winning a flag two years later. Richmond were also in the crosshairs between 2014-16. They even had an outside faction trying to instigate a board spill, They scrapped their whole footy department apart from their coach and won a flag 12 months later.

Personally think it's good to have eyes across everything and make up your own mind actually. But it's another reason to do a review, having an independent body audit the club would be a way to inform the supporters, address issues and reassure outside talent that we're a worthy club to join.
-
You can shoot the messenger all you want but the media don't go after clubs when their house is in order and they have no issues, they chase stories. You are mad if you think this is simply about ladder position. Look at the last two premiers after us, Geelong finished 12th last year and it wasn't a story, Collingwood are two rungs above us this year and it isn't a story. You seem to think the club is in tip-top shape so I would ask you why you are so afraid of a review? Surely you would love to see yourself and the leaders at the club vindicated.
-
I'm not going to reiterate every spotfire the club has had over the past year just because you want to play coy. If you don't think our off-field issues bear any significance then that's your right. But it doesn't really matter what you or I think. The clubs reputation has taken a significant beating across the league in a way that has had real consequences to our ability to function as an AFL club. Look no further than Houston getting cold feet after we courted him for weeks.

What does this even mean?
