Ok, what happened?
The HFC announced on just the 9th of February 2023 that Rayden Tallis would take over as the club's football director.
www.hawthornfc.com.au
"
The Board of Hawthorn Football Club has finalised the panel and process to fill the current vacancy of Football Director on the club’s Board.
Former Hawthorn player and life member Rayden Tallis has been co-opted onto the Nominations Committee panel to assist with this process.
Tallis is a familiar face to the Hawthorn faithful given his 163-game career that spanned over 11 seasons in the brown and gold."
Now, 21 hours ago this from the Board.
www.hawthornfc.com.au
"Hawthorn Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Luke McCabe as Football Director on the club’s Board.
McCabe, who played 138 games across a decade-long career for the Hawks, was awarded the role following a rigorous selection process.
Post football, McCabe has gone on to run a successful South Australian agriculture business and is currently serving on the South Australian Football Commission."
No mention of the fate of R Tallis.
Did he resign or was he pushed (Tallis) or are we adding a 2nd Football director?
Not a ringing endorsement of the actions of a professional Board of Directors by anyone's standard.
My other problem with this appointment, besides the gross incompetence of the current board is that Luke McCabe's son is a very strong chance to be drafted by Hawthorn next year.
You could call it nepotism or conflict of interest...take your pick but one thing is for certain a poor pick as I hate both and prime example governance.
No need to come flying to the defense of the new President... his actions speak louder than his words... and his words are very silent at the moment.

If what you say is true, then doesn't Rusty's rant & whole position on the current Board seem quite ridiculous - almost like he came in from a long run & completely missed?

I too am a bit "Iffy" over Luke McCabe's appointment, when there is a chance, we pick up Luke's son.

Why?
You’re questioning the integrity of people of the calibre of Harris, Shearer, Gallina, Silk and Tallis.
They’d not have made any decision on the suitability of McCabe for his role in reference to a possible draftee.

The CEO's son plays at the Club...
Steven Silvagni was the list manager when his two sons were on Carlton's list.
These 'perceived' conflicts are not hard to navigate.
And on McCabe specifically, his role isn't to draft players, he is simply the conduit between the football department and the board.

138 games is probably a few too many to be called a spud.
But 1 post in 7yrs is enough for all to see you are a fcukwit.
You don’t need to be a good footballer to be a good football director.

Very rarely do the best players make the best administrators!
We done Luke on using your time effectively, post football, to build a career worthy of being the Director of Football at Hawthorn.
Good luck, and may you guide the decisions made by the Football Department effectively to bring further success on the field.
We are still missing a flag in the '20's to keep the streak going.

I'm sure this embedding is wrong but, hopefully he puts his head over the role like he did the footy, despite the oncoming traffic.

Not if you read the game day thread from yesterday.
He’s destined to play the year at Box Hill before being delisted
So if his son isn't getting a game as the football expert on the board he can recommend the coach he sacked?
I don't know much about Luke's credentials but it doesn't pass the sniff test to me. Even if he is a clear number 1 choice for the role I'd go with the 2nd choice to avoid the conflict.
His son is almost certain to be nominated as a father son and this reeks of a dad involving himself in the club to have some influence or insight on his sons career.
