Has anyone watched this? The answers are unbelievable and I felt uncomfortable watching the spin and lies. Not sure how any club, let alone one of the biggest in Australia, gets away with this train wreck interview?

One of the most amateurish interviews I’ve ever seen. How could you believe any of those answers? Was completely out of his depth and the blokes asking the questions knew it. Very uncomfortable to watch.
It wasn’t great - couldn’t believe he fronted up within half an hour of trade period ending, that was gutsy.
BUT....if Ned was given the directive to clear some bad contracts that were clogging up his list then mission accomplished.
He’s not been there that long - how much of the current issues are his handy work?
It’s unlikely they sack him I think.

Most of our supporter base won't be satisfied until McGuire and Buckley step aside.

In fairness it's probably a mutual decision (all the way to the draft picks received) involving 5 or so people and he's just the figurehead.
I don't know how any list manager could honestly sit there and say stuff like "strengthening the list" on the back of losing a gun in Treloar and two other decent players all for an essentially mid teens pick, when history shows that not just half those picks in that range bomb; but also that clubs regularly bomb all 4 or so picks in a single national draft, guaranteeing no clubs anything of a positive nature off the law of averages going into any given draft.
Wasn't there a rumour recently that he threatened to quit over the weekend?
Buckley is just as likely to be the person primarily responsible for the carnage in reality.

What bemused me was he kept saying he was strengthening the draft or something, even his draft didnt really improve? They mostly got peanuts for what they gave up

Asked about how confident contracted players can be that this wont happen to them
"We won't be trading anyone out until next years trade period"

Equally compelling and uncomfortable to watch.
Tbh he did a reasonable job answering the questions given he was clearly covering up a fair bit.
Hilarious how much he pushed back on the draft, and emphasised bringing in talent after ousting three quality players.
I know the club was torched on the Treloar and Stephenson deals, but Pick 65 for Tom Phillips trade looks easily the worst deal among the three from a value POV. Hawks made out like bandits.

This train wreck shared by the club’s media department. What is the thought behind that.

I actually feel like they are setting him up as the fall guy. Someone to take the bullets.

They can try, but most of the supporter base isn't falling for it.

Ned Guy, more like Ned Bye Bye.
Commiserations Pies fans. Having someone like this in a decision making capacity at your club must be a strain on the blood pressure.

If I was a pies member, paying these guys salaries, then getting fed that blatant spin job....
I don't get why they are so inactive as a supporter base. Imagine the chook poop at Punt Road if the Tigers hierarchy did this.

I think this the same Guy that tried to woo lynch at his house only to jump the fence to escape media? Something from the comics

Shocking interview, be honest with your supporters.
Trying to spin things only makes you look dumb
