Can you guys stop emailing Brasher?
I’m kinda annoyed that he’s replying to you even as a cursory measure right now.
Edit: lol. I mean Barham.
Hope we get a transcript instead of Journos quoting the bits that suit their narrative, leaving out the other bits.
Barham is a fraud. Xavier is safe.
Barham has been on this useless board for 7 years, and you think he really is this point of change… Laughable.
We need a board spill. It’s the only way.

I’m not saying he would or should. Just that he could.
Not sure there are many saying that tbh. I certainly haven’t. All we can do is wait and see if he actually makes any real change or not.

Did he find a leadership group?

Barham’s saying that because he’s using the review as cover to get rid of X and whoever else.
The problem is that if he’s so strong in his denials about potential job losses then he’s at risk of inviting a challenge to his position.

he didn’t say it was OUR leadership group.

Much better performance today from Barham. Sounded a little bit ruthless. Talked about our history and success- exactly what I wanted to hear. We will target an experienced coach. Three hour board meeting today - said it was rigorous. X staying on. Says he’s trying. Admits they should have chased Clarkson earlier
I’d like it if i haven’t used mine up
WTF,commentary and predictions in here.
Changing of board control, in the way it has happened, is similar to a change of government.
One big difference tho, the new mob don’t get to trash talk the old mob, and blame them for everything for the next 12 months.
Everything has happened over the space of 7 days.
So; the new mob didn’t plan out the
. TakeOver
. The Transiton
. The exact plan going forward
With precision.
So ., necessary collateral damage.
So be it, unfortunately the End did justify the means.
The decision to remove the coach didn’t need an external review any more than a decision to take an umbrella if you are going out into the rain.
Any one saying otherwise is just a whinger that is going to bag out the club no matter what it does. Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t,
It seems like the ppl in here have experienced so much negativity they are brainwashed into believing no matter what happens it is going to be bad. You can always pick and choose whatever you like to create the narrative.
I like where we have finally got to,
A potentially blank canvas and board control that is pushing an external review.
I really don’t think we can reasonably ask more at this point. Let’s give them some time and withhold judgment until we get more clarity about the way forward.
Some ppl pizz moan about not getting what they want, then pizz moan about the way they got it, or something else ., as long as they have something to pizz moan about.

This institution desperately need a fresh start.
If the external review calls for anything but mass administrative changes, at the top level, then we will know it has been compromised.
This.
Then consider who the two senior assistants are (Giansiracusa and Caracella), the captain and deputy vice captain. Hardly surprising that we’ve seen a team with no aggression or physicality all season. This has been an issue for ■■■■■■■ ages and needs to be addressed as a matter or urgent priority.

FMD, I’m sick of hearing how well we’re doing financially.
Like that was Ever a thing.
And to achieve it, all we’ve given up is the MCG.
Windy Hill.
Not just leaving Windy Hill, but going out to our fully appointed facilities in the back of beyond.
Where are the other big three?
Social climbing sponsors that pay a little bit more than genuine prestige.
Every dollar grabbing initiative has put us closer to the Bulldogs than a genuine elite club.
And it’s gone to football, as well, as it was always, always going to.
Face-saving, please don’t hate us garbage.
It drove the saga.
Putting Hird up at that first press conference…that was everything.
Shouldn’t have been there!
Buy a brick, play our pokies, Bomber fans, do you like a bet?
Let’s not pretend that X’s penny-pinching hasn’t come at a cost.
It has. It has to.
We’ve been nobbled by AFL appointments from Craig to Ball to…honestly, who would know?
Goddamnit…Worsfold…the most unengaged goldbricker you will ever see.
We can be a great club again. Despite playing at Marvel and training at Tullamarine.
But we have to get rid of this cancer, and That does NOT include Hird.
Hird was…not even a symptom.
He was the previously functional body part that had to be amputated because of the cancer.

Beating Brisbane and Sydney are not junk wins.
I don’t have “love for Rutten” I have patience and want to do a rebuild properly - pain and all.
You’re right, 21 years without success means we need change. Let’s just keep making MOAR change every year we don’t win a flag?
Or you know, we could pick a strategy and see it through for more than 45 games.
