Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2021 Rd 15: Carlton vs Adelaide
What do we need to do in order to get a fair run from the umps? The Cripps holding call, the Curnow decision, I don't even know what they called after he tackled a bloke and he threw it out, the Walsh 'sling' which was one single motion. I feel like the club  needs to say something it's beyond a joke.
Even the Plowman 50 (that he got, and we kicked a goal from), looked like an ump determined not to give us something.  Im going to hold him down for way too long after the free (nope, no 50),  Ok, then I'll trip him as he goes back on the mark (nope, no 50), Ok, then i'll give him a huge shove in the chest (oh, gee, i didnt want to do this, but, there - 50)

Just as an aside Mitchell was apparently pretty tight with Brittain. By reports, his relationship with Pagan was a bit of disaster so there would have been that disconnect between the seniors and our VFL affiliate during those times.






You could say that - Pagan had Mitchell's office moved to the other side of PP........ in a diff stand.....  yeah, I dont think Pagan liked him!!

I find it hard to believe that anyone worth their salt would conduct a review, or provide any other service, without being paid by the organisation seeking the review or service.  Of course, Lowe, Walsh and Pavlich are being paid by the club and that certainly doesn't mean that they will pull their punches.  Perhaps the club should have called for volunteers to have conducted a review for free ... that would work out really well  ::)

The club has picked three independent, well-qualified blokes who are in no way beholden to the club and I reckon their review will knock a few scabs off.

Having worked with internal and external auditors, I know that they don't give a fat rat's clacker about who is paying their bills ... and they're in deep sh1t if they don't comply with Australian Auditing Standards.

I'm a lot happier after reading the President's email.

Dunstall was on mmm talking about the crows review,  interviewed every player and footy dept employee (that would be what, 70-80 people?) for 30 mins to an hour each. Then wrote up the report with recommendations.  That’s a lot of work.  Yep, no one is doing that for free!!!

GTC.. Its like auditors, they are paid to report on a companies finances but often its about reporting in a way that suits the Directors of the company. Many companies will change auditors to get the results displayed in a more pleasing format to shareholders.
I'm not sure what agenda Liddle has and what his desired outcome is.
I think Sayers will be more impartial and be looking for a honest appraisal but I'm not so sure Liddle will be so invested and will be looking after team Liddle first.

Always interesting to see who sets the scope and who pays the bill

The one thing the announcement  does clarify Is that it is the footy dept only.  This probably makes Liddle’s involvement a little more palatable, as, although he has ultimate responsibility for the footy dept, at least it’s not directly his dept.

Our biggest problem has been our inability to recruit even a single midfielder of note - basically since Judd.

Williams was supposed to be it. But his body clearly isn't up to it.

We passed on numerous guys like Treloar, Jarrod Lyons and Brad Crouch. Missed the boat on guys like Lachie Neale, Rockliff, Tom Mitchell, Zac Jones, Shiel and numerous others.

And then we've missed bona fide mids in the draft - Oliver, Butters, Cerra, Tim Kelly, Perryman, Bolton, Parish, Hopper, Dunkley, etc.

And all the mids (apart from Walsh) have been busts so far.

I don't need a "Review" to tell me that.

Yeah, we haven’t snagged a midfielder that desperately need, but; crouch, Rockliff , Jones? If any of them were on our list, we would be screaming about recruiting list cloggers.  The others (maybe shiel and Mitchell aside, given the cost), wouldve been VERY handy.
