That is a cracking article!

Barham is quite clearly out of his depth. His first press conference as president – defending the sacking of coach Ben Rutten – goes down as one of the worst in AFL history.

But Essendon is a weird club full of deeply weird people. Thorburn would’ve fit right in.
 

That’s low-hanging fruit, to be sure, but Thorburn’s fire and brimstone side hustle has completely overshadowed two other preposterous ingredients of this story: first, the way in which Thorburn finagled the gig; and second, the Essendon board’s collective delusion in believing him “a man of great integrity and exceptional vision”.

Late on Tuesday, Thorburn resigned
This man of great integrity was so soundly flayed by the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry that he was forced to resign immediately upon the release of its final report.

Another pearler from the Fin Review article.
It is a striking reality that in football today, being on the wrong side of diversity and inclusion issues is considered a far bigger black mark on a person than their questionable integrity or their record of ripping people off.

Wow, is the banking commission stuff real? I need a couple other resources.

If true, they essentially appointed one of the scummiest people in Australia to their ceo position.

The excerpts from the sen interview this morning made my skin crawl.

The fact the church is allowed to spout hate speech legally, all in the name of the church, should be a relic of the 1800s.

This activity should be illegal. It's not free speech. It's dehumanising. **** this.

Oh, trust me, I have heard David Barham speak and I absolutely do believe he did a thorough background check. 😂

Give it another few days and Brad Scott will have probably outlasted his President and CEO at *FC.

And to think that they could have had their pick from about half a dozen people already at the club.
 
Slobbo awfully quiet.
He has a diagramatic scheme in place.
1. Make Hird CEO
2. Have Hird sack Brad.
3. Assemble panel of 2 to select new coach. ( Sheedy and Robbo)
4. Elect Hird as new coach
5.Make Essendon Great Again (mega..pronounced meagre. Definition: lacking in quantity or quality.
"they were forced to supplement their meagre earnings")
 
“Timmy” and his dumb arse son should be locked up somewhere in a sound proof room and never ever be heard from again.

But if that happens, how will we laugh at Jobe’s whacked out, drug-affected, commentary?
