Trevor Nisbett on TAB radio re Willie
“We’re just waiting for a final outcome there. We know it’s close and obviously our main aim is to be really conscious of Willie’s welfare and keep looking after him until that final outcome comes. Of course there’s a lot of different things that have to happen before we get that final handing down of penalty and appeals and everything else. So we’re waiting like everyone is to get that finally and we’re hoping that happens probably as early as the first or second week in March with any luck. But we’ve been saying that for a while and I know people are frustrated with it so no more frustrated than I guess Willie and the football club.”
So it’s now “as early as” the 1st or 2nd week in March FFS for a decision on a hearing held mid December. Couple that with “final handing down of penalty and appeals and everything else” and it’s hard not to draw a conclusion that there’s a not insignificant amount of behind the scenes negotiating.
Complete ****ing circus
It’s worth listening to the rest of the interview that discusses the football department cap, possible hubs, Vozzo to Adelaide and Simpson maybe extending his contract. The Willie bit comes near the end if you want to skip the foreplay.

Oof mid march now - big WTF
I do find the use of the term "final outcome" a little odd though

Sounds like Vozzo might take up that spot at Adelaide
Massive to loose Selwood, Glass and Vozzo all in one year as they were high up in their departments.

I agree because the appeals process, if undertaken, could take a year.
It seems to me that all parties are trying to work behind the scenes to come up with a suitable penalty.

Yeah could the case.
I wonder whether an interim decision has been handed down & they're waiting for appeal rights (21 days from memory) to lapse before going public with the outcome. Would make sense from a mental health perspective to wait to release the final outcome rather than having this potentially drag on through the media if either party appeals.
It would be virtually impossible to keep the penalty secret in that scenario, highly unlikely.

I suggest the appeals process mentioned is the 2 weeks where ASADA could appeal.
So AFL decision 28 Feb. ASADA could appeal sentence up to mid March. No final outcome until mid March at earliest.
What is now total BS is this decision could be a downer for the team and we would not want the distraction either way close to round 1 or in season.
So just get on with it ffs......

Give yourself an uppercut
Give yourself a pay rise
You got it, champ!
Losing Vozzo would be a big loss. I'd rather Nisbett put his hand up with a transition arrangement for Vozzo to become our CEO. Cant see him staying for too many more years and Vozzo was clearly groomed to replace him.
Number of years Nesbitt has been CEO of the club

'Rioli sought a hearing in August 2020' so what......they didn't start any work on this case until then? it makes it sound like this just happened 6 months ago.
