There's probably a few of us here. To be on Demonland as often as we are, it is a classic hyperfocus story. 🤣

That's definitely true. I think the idea that we shouldn't have put a huge contract to Clarry is hindsight 20-20 stuff, but that we didn't (seemingly) put in strong legal clauses in that contract is the blight.

I think too often we play the mental health card in society. It is obviously a factor, but it is also a crutch for unaccpetable behaviour. So yes, I'll continue the discussion. :P

So maybe Teague comes in as ball movement and midfield coach, Bassett to the backs and Chaplin to the forwards. Chaplin was our forward coach when we were the highest scoring team in 2018. It then becomes a very different looking game style we're playing, but with better defensive personnel than we had in 2018.

As someone with ADD, I would too...

I really don't want to hear the ADD defence either. It's mostly BS.

Maybe it's Chocco? He did babysit that other fellow that ended up winning 3 flags for Richmond.

The MFC aren't exactly great with comms, so don't bet on it.

I agree.

Well, there are definitely parallels with Grundy. Collingwood gave up his huge contract to a direct competitor and won a premiership that year. It might be the start of a much needed cultural change, but I believe the executive needs to change...

Um, skiperditoilet?

Things are never as good or bad as they seem, mate.

I wonder if we're clearing Clarry's salary for Butters'...

If we trade Clarry to Geelong for a future 1st and we end up paying anything of his contract, it shows how much we want him gone. Would be disastrous, but telling...

I wonder if St Kilda would give up their two top 10 picks for pick 3? If they did they'd be stupid...

December seems like a good time for a board take over. New president, new board, asap. Should have happened during the season, prior to list management decisions.

I'd trust Mach on this one...

If the Crows don't land him, they might double-down on Clarry, which gives us better leverage if that's the way it goes.

You mean like Deemocracy and Peter Lawrence have been saying for a while? I agree.

I want Pert gone, but there's no way Pert is acting on his own here. Sure, the FD may not be for it, but what about our board? If you're shopping around one of your highest paid players without board approval, you may as well tender your resignation. People need to be a little bit smarter about this.

The board lost me when the last two presidents emailed members telling them who to vote for, having installed candidates in casual vacancy positions just prior elections. As cultural issues have snowballed at the club, we've had persistently terrible comms (something Binman and others have been on about for years) through clear cuts to the comms department over several years; the board failed to deliver a promised 2024 strategy; we had a President who didn't even bother to turn up to the Presidents function earlier in the year (or send a replacement) effectively rendering us voiceless; the CEO couldn't manage to land a shorts sponsor despite having three top 4 seasons in a row; the CEO went on radio and essentially put a target on our back with ridiculous hyperbole about the best culture in 40 years; the board via Rennick as the mouthpiece said in Federal Court in May that members did not want them installing candidates into casual vacancies; and the wishy-washy PR update on the Caulfield home base etc etc. Look at who they installed as our latest President. A bloke that goes out and has a coffee with Guitnik and it ends up on the front page within days. We also continue to leak like a sieve under Green and Pert's leadership. I'm not exactly sure what there is to assess if you basically agree with you were never a fan of Pert's. As for this idea that you have to out yourself on an internet message board, it's bizarre. You don't have to agree with the information that Hawk is passing on, but to demand Hawk out who they are is really quite strange and IMO unreasonable. Finally, vis a vis all those links, I have no idea what you're trying to suggest... And btw, I've always loved you as a poster. You can have your view and I'll have mine.

Have you heard more?

No, I said 'if'.

Hang on, this makes little sense. You want Lamb gone because he tied up "one of our greatest players" to a long term deal?

It doesn't matter who he calls. If he has reached out in his capacity as a CEO, he has stepped into the list management lane, and he needs to be fired for it IMO.
