Andrew Thorburn X CEO

That lasted a while.

Is that why we traded Saad?

Well I’m not sure we can have it both ways. The guy said what his personal inclusive views were and was still pitch-forked out. Don’t be surprised if this impacts someone like Walla (of the same faith) and he chooses Freo.

That isn’t cancelling.

He (and the board) ratified Thorburn as CEO without doing due diligence. They have failed to do their job and now the club is in a mess. That is just being accountable for your ■■■■ ups.

Pick your poison.

  • Smashed in a Royal commission into Banks

  • Conducted the External review, with a conflict of interest

  • chair of a fundamentalist religious organisation, with 1950’s beliefs on society.

About minus five minutes

This is not that situation. This is a clear incompetence from the EFC that resulted in an awful, inappropriate hire.

Corporate governance ■■■■-up of the highest.

I can honestly say my mental health thanks me for not visiting this thread sooner and will thank me more for not coming back.

Please just pack it in and head to Tassie.

This is going to open a huge can of worms around “religious discrimination”

Weeks not out yet

You see I would have thought leading an organisation which charges people money whilst doing nothing for them and charging dead people fees would have been what got him unstuck :man_shrugging:t2:

Oh and basically appointing himself by being on an external review panel too

Seriously hope they have to pay him out.

It’s time for an external review of our external review.

This creates a very dangerous precedent. What happens the next time when someone at the club holds different views to someone else. Do they get sacked or asked to resign.

It’s a very slippery slope
