Analysis What will happen at tonight's board meeting?

[Quicky]

So we're having a board meeting tonight and Walsh is tabling the outcome of at least one of our reviews. Do you think any big decisions are going to be made? If so what?

If you have or hear any news post it in here.

 

[jmac70]

No decisions until after the season finishes.

Here's an Age article on the board meeting with Ed saying there is no timeframe on the coaching decision:

I think we can probably rule that decision out as a possibility tonight.

Will we see any other decisions in the footy department?

 

[Quicky]

No decisions until after the season finishes.

Opinion?

You may well be right.

 

[jmac70]

Opinion?

You may well be right.

Ed will already know what Walsh is going to say, and he will have influenced those recommendations.

The first few slides from the presentation were filmed through the windows by channel 7 at the Holden Centre today and aired on the news just now. Unfortunately my screencaps are too blurry to post here. Definitely saw an executive summary and some fairly generic sort of responses to a staff survey, but nothing too meaty. Someone else may have spotted something.

Channel 7 got some vision of the set up for the presentation in this report

If anything whether tonight or the near future there has to be changes otherwise we'll keep going down. I am very confident that there will be and next year we'll see some real optimism!

So opinion?

So opinion?

Of course, but it's how Ed rolls. Everyone knows that.

That Seven footage had some interesting info. One of the slides identified gaps in development including coaches for kicking, ruck coach and goal kicking. Given some of the conversation on here regarding that it's interesting to know the club recognises it.

Not knocking it jmac. Just curious if you knew something, like if there was a decision not to make decisions til end of season. The Seven article suggested it.

One of the slides in the player survey recommends restructuring the list management and recruitment roles.

Good so far now sack Naf

 

[Anzacday]

What an absolute joke that the media can film parts of the presentation!

 

[left at home]

Walsh will do his presentation, with what decision need to be made going forward, and that will be it. They will need some time to go through it before it is acted on

Good as is the acknowledgement of need of ruck kicking and goal coaches. Get rid of Bucks

 

[Quicky]

Just need to keep that in context. That was a dot point from the player survey. So that's what the players think? I wonder how much weight that holds or in fact if it's all that relevant.

What's happening tonight?

They'll serve tea and coffee. Maybe even a beer.

The rest will be strategically leaked, which usually happens after drinking

He must be a peeping Tom...

The issue is that we recognised it YEARS ago.
And that's an indictment on the club, and Ed in particular considering it was his public statement that backed him into a corner and prevented us from spending in these coaches.
And the fact that 7 got vision is just another example of how much of a shambles CFC is in 2017.
