News Lethers Gone

Pretty certain I understand how the governance of a successful board should function. A key feature is a well developed and implemented monitoring and reporting system that reports in a timely manner.

Reporting to members a premiership window was opening one minute and then savagely restructuring the club in the next minute kind of suggests Bassat was clueless as to what was happening outside of the boardroom in his first 4 years.

That's ok, by his own admission he was a reluctant prez and as such it would appear he had to go through a steep learning curve of how to manage an elite sporting club. Part of that learning curve was learning how much more of his own time would be needed to be applied to the role. Most of these board positions are taken on for status and personal gain and so you can have a theatre going type board in the AFL.

Hopefully he's now upgraded the monitoring and control processes to avoid making the same mistake...and as I say, giving more time to the role.

Tautology, speculation and pop psychology does not a cogent argument make.

When it comes to rating Gallager as a List Manager it seems pretty easy to work out.

Go and have a look at the list when he joined in 2019:
St Kilda Playing List for 2019 - Draftguru

And compare it to the list when he left at the end of 2022:
St Kilda Playing List for 2023 - Draftguru

To me, the list is much better, in a very short period of time, after his involvement as the List Manager.

More recent lists always look better than past lists because these kids haven't had time to disappoint us yet. I wouldn't want to go over the top rating this list yet.

I think you got the words all mixed up, but other than that the sentence had the potential to be understood.

All i can make from the above is that the Bains / Trout combo was awful.

The stars were already there but the drafting has improved out of sight.
