I dunno. The whole 'headhunting a messiah' thing hasn't really been our style for a while now, and did seem a bit out of character. We generally leave that sort of thing for water-treading clubs like Essendon and St Kilda.Maybe but I'm not so sure. Meehan was gone well before the 5 week review started. Burgess may well have been the primary target.
Taking the time to review the entire department before going to market for someone who fits the review's findings is much more consistent with the sensible stability that our administration has practiced in the past.
You only have to look back to the process we went through to appoint Yze last year.
