season 2023 was ordinary but we'll always have that we started Essendon on their losing spiral out of the finals

Cameron Schwab again? 😂

My cynical side says pushed. If it was planned we’d have a replacement lined up. And further to that, it looks as though the Caulfield role is about defraying to cost of the payout. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pert the consultant disappear

You fair dinkum want me to list them? In no particular order - May & Melk punch on Claz’s ‘health’ problems Trading Oliver 2023 Trading Oliver 2024 Legal dramas Constant rumours about Goodwin’s off-field behaviour Disgruntled ex-doctor Joel Smith fails drug test Handling of Trac’s recovery Speculation Trac wants out Constant leaking of confidential info to the media Plans for a home training base seemingly going nowhere Absolutely cooking the 2023 finals series Grundy recruitment & subsequent trade President going MIA for most of season 2024 & subsequently resigning Constant negative media coverage Meekly accepting the AFL’s handling of Brayshaw’s concussion & eventual forced retirement And I suspect I’ve missed something I’m not saying Pert is individually responsible for every one of these but he is the CEO, the buck stops with him

This thread has to be up there with one of the most deranged I’ve ever read in this forum 😂 @RickyD posts to explain the reasons for the open letter & ppl are acting like he’s a double agent sent by a master villian to destroy the club Pert has been the CEO at the helm of the post-2021 debacles. How he’s managed to exempt himself from the review, I do not know. But it should be admired, because it is a master piece of bull****ery

Here’s a solution - don’t sign the petition. Easy

Hahaha, neither can our match day announcer - Robbo says it wrong every single week

Schwab did plenty of wool-pulling himself

They’ve all played their part but I would hope the club would be aware of any meetings. Especially after telling the media ‘we’re bemused by this trade talk’…and the next day Clarance is meeting with Geelong

The club not knowing about this meeting is such a bad vibe. We always look foolish & scrambling to cover ourselves

Wouldn’t be surprised if this happened as part of an attempt to keep brand Petracca happy

At the time I said ‘that’s his one overhead mark for the day’ 😂

Was that mean to sound mansplaniy or it just came off that way?

Same! The tone of this article really irritates me
