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?

I don't understand why some are so resistant to the club getting a review. We keep hearing about how great everything is, how great our culture is, to judge the club on their actions. But the sideshow has popped up again and again. If the club believes they're that good then why should they be afraid of a review? If there are no issues then the club gets vindicated and it brings peace of mind to the members if there are serious issues they can be exposed and dealt with properly.

I'd happily replace both. Club is in a rut, playing group is falling apart. It can't go on.
-
Best way to recruit is to find undervalued young players who haven't been given much of a go. Kind of like how Giants poached Bedford and Swans took Jordon off us. Our recent recruitment strategy of getting old fringe players should really only be used for depth, not where you should be spending second rounders *cough* McAdam *cough* I heard we're having a look at James Peatling? Big yes. With top ten picks you only trade them if you have a genuine gun coming. Otherwise back the excellent Jason Taylor in to find the best available player with that pick. A lot of mids around the pointy end of this draft, exactly what we need.
-
100% the way we move the ball doesn't help the forwardline at all but the amount of times I see our forwards either standing completely still and waiting for the ball to land on their head OR all running back into the goal square rather than spreading and creating options does my head in.
-
Didn't Peter Jackson want Josh Mahoney to replace him but got vetoed by the AFL who installed Pert?
-
Unsupported comments that I gleaned from reporting. Hardly unsupported then? Why would I believe posters on this site over actual journalists whose jobs it is to find this stuff out? Peter Ryan is a very good journalist and I would put a lot of stock into his article from today. Do you deny that the club has stagnated this year? Do you deny that there has been infighting? Do you deny that the club hasn't had to put out constant spotfires? I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is sunshine and roses. Pert and Goodwin told us they were going to fix our issues last off-season. They told us to judge the club on what they do. Well it's been nearly 12 months and our best player is disgruntled and want's out. Oliver has struggled since he hurt his hand and has been forced to play through injury and poor fitness all season. We are losing games by the biggest margins in five years. Why should I believe they can get it done this time around?
-
Feels like a reset would do the club a world of good. Too much stagnation, too much in-fighting, too many spotfires to continue putting out. Too much laid on the shoulders of Gawn and Viney when Goodwin and Richo should be getting this stuff under control. The rot has been festering for the better part of two years now. Club should be doing an external review. An internal review run by the people who allowed this situation to manifest seems like an utterly pointless exercise, Pert is the king of spin and Roffey seems woefully out of her depth.
