Fantastic

Very happy about this. If she can't get us closer to a home base, i can't see her value.

Surprised Green has been given the nod straight away. Part of me wanted a more experienced, external operator, but at least you know he'll be invested in the footy side of things.

Now to see if he can help negotiate a god damn training base lol.

I’ve done a fair bit of research and what I discovered is the best place we could get to replicate the conditions and dimensions of our home ground is the MCG.

Get it done Brad

Very different from the reporting though. Even on Monday Caro and Ralph were saying she'd see out her term which had a year to go.

Neither of them are great at knowing what's happening though, remember when Ralph said Sparrow was a chance to go to Adelaide about 3 hours before his re-signing was announced?

Been plenty of people talking about Roffey being on the way out for a fair while now.

So did Smith say no or did they decide not to go with him as president because he'd rock the boat? Promoting from within doesn't fill me with any confidence

 

[Demon Attack]

NEXT!!!

He's going overseas soon I think. Eddie Mcguire was saying that he was probably going to take the empty seat on the board and be president once he's back.

So this is just temporary with Green?

Green will be very temporary. Think he might have been chosen just for appearances for fans, he's a lovely bloke but not the sharpest tool in the shed. I'll be pretty disappointed if he does in fact lead the board review himself.

I don't think that's been explicitly said yet but I would hope so.

Green gets sucked into twitter fights but I guess that is considered presidential these days.

You never tell anyone your wish you idiot!

Incoming 10 year extension for Goodwin, thanks a lot A11dAtP0w3R

Always have to find a negative.

Would be funny if Bartlett dropped his case after this.

Don't be mean to him on his birthday, mores.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Green will be temporary. Smith will be the man I reckon after next season. Probably a good move. Greeny (and Smith) at least both have experience as a player. So hopefully that equates to more understanding of what our onfield management requires.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I don't think that's been explicitly said yet but I would hope so.

I hope so too, if not it very much feels like US politics this. Putting up someone completely unqualified, but he's a name that the nuffies recognise so that's good enough to buy some votes/goodwill, just a puppet for others behind the scenes.

I just don't want more(s) of the same. I want a different direction.

What gets me is that if Smith does come in next year I would have thought Roffey would just wait it out until then. It feels like the board completely turned on her or there's some other reason she needs to go right now.

Scared of the independent review and a potential board challenge I'd say. Let's look like we are doing something now. Perty and others trying to save themselves.

 

[dazzledavey36]

See ya.

Brad isn't much chop either so thankfully it's only temporary.

Is that confirmed somewhere?

Suspect it’s just that she became very on the nose very publicly and very recently. They want the spotlight off themselves so a quick switcheroo might achieve that.

I’d like Smith to take over when available. This might be a night watchman scenario

I would be incredibly shocked if he stays in permanently.
