He has copped most of the criticism for the way it was handled from other clubs.

Always felt like more of a corporate hire than a culturally aligned one.
Never looked particularly comfortable in front of camera or speaking on behalf of the Club.
Think we'll do better with the next selection without Jeffrey hand selecting for his own particular penchant of sycophant supporter and submissive enactor.
Hawthorn person please with the appropriate credentials.

Agreed on this - I don't think Reeves had any responsibility in the accusations timeframe. Maybe people highlighting it are meaning the handling of the report itself.
who gives a fcuk?

Here’s a couple of things the club has pointed out
- Achieved year-on-year profits, ensuring the club’s long-term financial sustainability
- Secured funding from all three levels of government and started work to build a world-class community, training and administration facility at the Kennedy Community Centre in Dingley Village
- Divested the club’s gaming venues and revenues whilst ensuring ongoing football club profitability
- Seen membership and commercial partner growth including re-signing long-term contracts with Tasmania, iiNet, Nissan, KFC and a host of others
He was very good behind the scenes, and was a really big reason we were able to set up a strong women's program (in terms of resources).
Agreed, on camera he was a mess.
We did get a future AA ruckman because of him though
You are kidding.Let his hatred of Clarkson pervade his view on the racism investigation. Today Clarkson Hodge and a host of others are marginally back towards a footy club they served so well. The only surprise here was that a smart man like Kennett backed him all the way. Move on.
yep that’s why they sacked him after the meeting Monday.

It's a myth that he hated clarko.
He disagreed with the direction clarko was taking the club, but never hated clarkson as a person, and definitely no vendetta (personal opinion of course based on interactions with him - other execs who've already departed may have more of a vendetta)

How so? Reeves' backing of Sam and Clarko's departure happened before anyone had knowledge of the accusations. Even then, his hands were tied when it came to the Egan report not asking Clarko anything, he was duty bound to hand it over to the AFL.
I generally like you posts WAHawk but I especially enjoyed this one!
Whilst I don’t agree with everything you post, you’re not wrong very often. This one is the one that interests me the most.
Yes I agree I'd like to know more on the Monday meeting
This is not a racist, homophobic or sex driven post.
I just think the best candidate should get the job no ifs or buts.
I understand your intent might not be to come across that way - but with respect, why would anyone think this wouldn't happen?

For my mind he was always going to get made to walk the plank as a result of commissioning Egan’s report.
Whatever your viewpoint on the whole racism saga that report was an absolute mess (like ridiculously bad) and even now it has the potential to cost the club a lot of money. Essentially it’s radioactive.
One thing I really want to know is whether Egan went completely rouge when doing his report (that’s not a report) or if he was actually following the guidelines given to him by the club?
Because I have never seen anything remotely resembling the structure and content of what was in that report, it’s something else again.

Good leaders make decisions they know will be unpopular with some people for the betterment of the organisation.
I literally know nothing about Justin outside of that lol

He is a professional footballer/athlete .This was my first thought too. I really hope Justin leaves with goodwill intact but I feel their will be more fallout from all of this
If this impacts him at all he is probably in the wrong profession
Hodge didn’t hold back in his response to Kennetts tweet about Dimma quitting as coach saying it was a dig at Clarko.
There is definitely some bad blood there amongst some ex players and coaches which is rather sad TBH.

The guy served the club to the best of his ability over a decent period of time .
Whether you like him or not , some of the negative and dancing on the grave posts here are pretty disappointing .
