Prediction Dr Sonja Hood AM

[Moti]

So spoke to an Insider at the club about 20 minutes ago.

We have 3 candidates for the new Recruitment Manager role. Next week each will be sent to Guantanamo Bay and water boarded to ensure we understand all of their possible attributes. We have also engaged 3x ex-CIA operatives who will data mine the online records of each candidate plus their family and track their heritage through 7 generations to ensure there are no historical events that can be linked to them. There will also be random abductions of people known to them and they will be subject to lie detector tests and the Twilight trilogy to ensure we have everything covered.

There is talk of a rectal exam and mind mapping but waiting on the process.

Get your head out of your arse,
There’s been a hawthorn report into racist allegations ongoing for 12 months. It was sparked by one of the all time greats in Cyril.

This isn’t some sort of thing that just came out of nowhere.

I kinda feel the urge to go back through the 3,457,338 posts on all of the fat orangutan threads to find the posters here who wanted to put the brakes on the Clarko speculation given that it was so bleedingly obvious that this story was going to break.

Yes, we were all happy and stoked to get Clarko, we’re football fans but it wasn’t our job to do due diligence.

The report has been known, yes, sparked by the Kennett interactions with Rioli. This goes well beyond anything that was expected from that report. It was a report to see how Hawthorn can be more welcoming and understand from players what they can do better. This blindsided the club completely and based off the interactions Clarko has had with his past players and the industry in general, there was no suggestion he had a problem with indigenous players let alone the crazy stuff mentioned in the article.

So its all just made up?

really? Cause I spoke to someone at the club and they said there's only one candidate. The club followed a process that included and was limited to asking "have you ever recruited someone?" The confident "Sure Have" confirmed we had the right man for the job.

 

[Moti]

So its all just made up?

I wouldn't have a clue. I assume it is true but for whatever reason it has been well hidden. Just look at battered wives and domestic violence. It rarely gets out unless there is an escalation that brings it out or the victim gets the courage to speak. I assume if true that the process of asking for feedback on the club was the catalyst for it coming to light and any organisation that receives this type of damaging information they weren't aware of would keep it extremely close to their chest as they will need to prepare a response and understand liability. Gil said names were changed and redacted and it is so sensitive he was unable to release it or disclose much about it. This is super sensitive and instead of lambasting the club for not knowing, we should be congratulating the Hawks for maintaining some semblance of sensitivity and privacy as they move through the process of exposure and redress.

 

[Roosurgence]

So its all just made up?

I think you can assume this stuff isn’t made up. It’s extremely bizarre for someone to make up something this damning.

I would however suggest that we all wait until all parties have had their say. Perspective is a wonderful thing and not all people see the same situation through the same lens.

It’s just so hard to fathom that a normal human being would willing take these type of actions, knowing full well the impact this would have on so many lives. That alone means all people deserve to have their side of the story told.

 

[Chadwiko]

Everyone has been blind-sided by this.

People at the Hawthorn footy club where this supposedly occured and where Clarkson spent 15+ years were blindsided by it. The AFL were blindsided by it. Former players, coaches, assistants were all blindsided by it. The media were blindsided by it.

But Sonja should have identified it?

Give me a spell.

 

[The Dingrel]

We can only judge her actions on what happens now. I know it will be the right call.

Sounds like Fagan who allegedley attended the meetings and complicit was also blindsided by it!

Sonja should have identified it because Sonja was the only one whos job it was to be looking into Clarko. It wasn't the AFL's job. Hawks weren't blindsided, they started the investigation. The media weren't blindsided, they reported it.

Stop making stuff up.

Give me a spell.

And how would Sonja or anyone else know what players were telling the people running the review and writing the report? It was all done in confidence.

the same way Jackson did would be a start.

 

[sickmick92]

the same way Jackson did would be a start.

Jackson's sources are almost certainly the players/families that were interviewed for the report and likely a leak due to frustration with Hawks/AFL sitting on the report. How is Sonja supposed to be aware of/access that? Honestly

 

[Mixed Results]

One Hodge throwaway line on the radio means that the entire club was blindsided?

I wonder if Jeff Kennett was blindsided at this report.

 

[Caracas]

Sonja is the only reason I can see us getting through this.

In Sonja we trust

 

[franjon]

The AFL didn't know the detail.
The other clubs who interviewed Clarkson didn't know.
No one else at North knew enough to give Sonia a red flag.
The Hawthorn captain at the time didn't know, seemingly no other players there at the time knew either.
The AFLPA didn't know, and presumably the AFLCA didn't either.
No other media outlet knew.

But Sonja should have known.

Right.

Known what?

 

[Only Forwards]

Known what?

Everything.

Her fault was not being omniscient.

 

[franjon]

She's not a magician, and again, how was she supposed to know? Nobody actually know's the situation. We don't even know what the situation is.

That was my point.

No one could be what she is being asked to have been.

Agreed about today's report however there has been plenty published and discussed about his bad behaviour over the years.

Reports of punching holes in walls and verbally abusing staff and players particularly after losses. He wasn't sacked from Hawthorn for nothing.

Reports of him demanding he picks his footy GM and CEO were alarming and suggestive of a power hungry egomaniac that apparently we tolerated.

I think it's highly unlikely we knew the extent of today's allegations however given the circumstances it would be reasonable for the club to share what due diligence Sonja and the Board applied in the recruitment process.

They are, afterall, responsible for the appointment of coaches and the culture created for our club.

All of that is small fry compared to today's allegations that he would manipulate young people into spurning family, loved ones, and even unborn children in the pursuit of success.

It's well known that he's relentless in the pursuit of success, and struggles to control is emotions. But today he was accused of being a psychopath.

Entirely agree. The above does paint a picture of character though which surely requires full consideration as part of any recruitment process?
