Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV – Roffey and Pert Gone

[tomcruise]

Agree but to play devil's advocate it was mentioned that they're reviewing the football dept. I expect there will be a separate review of the admin he won't be involved in.

I have a feeling his days are numbered.

I will place all my trust in your feelings.

 

[PerfectFooty]

To be fair i've seen a couple, more cringe accounts who don't think we should review

Review stuff was meh, but the bit about the contract was funny

Even so, he is the most senior executive manager of the club and at the end of the day has executive responsibility for all branches of the club. If there is an issue with delegated responsibility then this is something he should have his eye on all the time. If there are failings in the football department then he owns a decent share of them.

I’m not overly hopeful that much gets done. And I have little confidence in Pert. Because Kate Roffey’s interview was received so drastically poorly, I think people have forgotten how bad his was the week prior. She just took it up a notch by going on about her intensive care experience, her close contact with the mums of the footy club and other things that left her very exposed. Otherwise their ramblings weren’t dissimilar.

One thing they share, and it is a huge problem in terms of external perception, is a kind of arrogance that means both are completely incapable of admitting responsibility.

Members are treated like idiots. I think most would be happier with club management to be capable of saying “there are clearly problems that must be identified and addressed” rather than putting any issues in the lap of Angus Brayshaw for selfishly getting concussed.

Go to about 7 minutes for details.

Frosty out for the rest of the season

If you can't admit there is a problem then there is no chance of solving the problem.

My partner just described the review as "about as external as my pap smear". She has a way with words

She sure does. Did laugh heartily.

Until the nuts and bolts of this enquiry are released by the club , they can't seriously believe we should swallow the "External review " that has been reported by the media . Maybe some will , personally think it smells .

Think you've nailed it here. So incredibly frustrating as a supporter seeing that sort of personality arrogantly messing up the footy club and closing off from all 'noise'.

 

[Toump Ass]

Now that Roffey has stepped aside I would love her to be part of the External Review.

It seems to be a theme that has run through a lot of the stories about us. That since the flag we've essentially been viewed by other clubs as arrogant and pompous. Peter Ryan has mentioned it a couple of times. Caro brought it up on FC last week.

I know right? If the club had any smarts they'd capitalise on it and make a t-shirt or something.

 

[Toump Ass]

Give us a DVD maybe. With an extended cut of Bowey's highlights video that goes for a whole quarter a minute.

Have a travelling dumpster fire like we did with the premiership cup, go all over the state and let supporters get photos with it.

 

[MarcMaverick]

You could sell out MSG as well.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

There are no depths of governance incompetence that we can't sink to, but just incase I'd like to test this.

A six-second Electrifying Performance of the Week video with behind-the-scenes footage of the external review would really tickle me.
