The Review

[jenny61_99]

Regardless of whether they’d planned one or not - for whatever reason (fan comments - yay people power) or media pressure, or given we didn’t make the finals as they expected, they made the call once we knew for sure - we ARE having an external review. Regardless of parameters set, this is inevitably going to bring shit to the surface. You cannot shove this stuff back in the hole once released. This is going to be some immediate pain.... but hopefully we will be better off in the long run.

How the fu** do you know that’s what it is? Jesus Christ... let it play out.

Jesus Jen. They're clearly doing this ad hoc at the last minute because their hand has been forced.

Ideally you'd like people running the club who are proactive, rather than reactive. Who do things based on an obvious desire to make the club better, rather than waiting until they are forced into action and act primarily based on messaging and damage control.

But how much of the stuff which comes "to the surface" will be made public? If they keep it all in-house, they can continue to pretend that everything is smelling of roses, despite all evidence to the contrary. Do not underestimate the resistance of an echo chamber to hear diversity of opinion!

He's not mates with many people

I would assume Dunstall isn't going near any review that doesn't give him full autonomy to go where he wants to go.

Chapman claimed Roo's name opens doors and he's got all the names of the important people. When I heard it I was like "I think the only names in his contact lists are guys he formerly played with"

Correct.

If anyone interferes he's likely to belt them.

Jason Dunstall was responsible for setting up the greatest dynasty in AFL history... Very happy

I like those appointments.

Dunstall has already done one at Hawks a while ago if Im not mistaken. Both of those men wont hold back.

Bring it on.

 

[hey shorty]

Pavlich isn't a bad get either. He could've done no more in his career and is respected league wide.

At least we know the players concerns will be front and centre

 

[MatthewB]

Chief wont hold back

Have a read of this Reddit post.


The poster has a very high track record of insider knowledge.

Does look like it was a last minute decision to do the external review.....

This is how it seems to those outside the club. They should have had the review locked in weeks ago.

Dunstall was a key person in turning Hawthorn around

Yes Roo's relationship most definitely helped Dunstall get on board but dont confuse that with Dunstall being bias towards the outcome

Dunstall will be independent and strong wih his assessments

Good.

 

[AFC3000]

Well, I think at least with someone like Dunstall, he won't want to be responsible for a failed review, so if the doors are opened to him, if we don't follow through, we'll eventually find out about it.

 

[Crows I Am]

Dunstall, Pavlich

Happy with both of these guys. They wont take any crap from any of our spin doctors about how fantastic we are.

 

[Legz]

So do we give the club the benefit of the doubt and assume Dunstall had to tie up some media obligations/work out arrangements before committing publicly?
Hence, the delay.

Also the man responsible for resurrecting HAW when it was a basket case ......very astute thinker with CEO experience & of course Footy .....he'll give it straight between the eyes

 

[The Karma Bus]

Dunstall is a smart man and I just like his attitude to footy and what is a good club/environment/people.
Straight shooter.
Helped set the Hawks up.
Was on the board, interim CEO as well.

Nice.
