External review has come up with some interesting findings:
Adrian Dodoro is the most outstanding List Manager in the AFL. He can make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Best ever in VFL/AFL history. Needs his own statue at Tullamarine.
The board has been weak and dithering. Needs more like K Sheedy on the board to enforce an iron will, united clan. Have to wait till Sheedys grandkids grow to adulthood and the board can become the “Sheedy”. No need to have a board. Too many people with different opinions. United is best. As the “Sheedy” will be in charge and they will all be Sheedy’s, strong suggestion to trademark “the family club”. Hawthorn have let their patent lapse.
Coterie groups have had too much involvement in decision making and have caused fractures in the club structure and decision making. This will be resolved when the “Sheedy” is created as the coterie groups will agree going forward.
Coaching has been problematic of late. There has been an identified, untapped talent that only needs the opportunity to be in charge. And WILL take the Club back the promised land and no longer the subject of ridicule and derision. Therefore it is stongly recommended to appoint a James Hird to the job as soon as it is apparent that Brad Scott has run out of insider information from his former role as AFL ops manager. This is in keeping with the Clubs normal practice of using insider information, for example when they self reported (nudge nudge wink wink) on the drugs scandal and the process followed appointing CEO’s like Andrew Thorburn. Hird to be given an initial term of 25 years with a 25 year option at his discretion.
Brown paper bags to be reintroduced when dealing with player/managers and senior AFL employees.

you gotta wonder about the trade period for Essendonut
there they are in a car wreck trying to coax players to enter the Hangar
what does it say about the players that went there..... 'can't wait to work with Brad Scott' ??
and good on Francis for leaving... why weren't there more..? Fascinating...

There’s no doubt that we are finding it harder to get good players for our VFL team now that they run the risk at getting drafted to the Bombers
That’s a very big call , there has been numerous highly intelligent and quite witty posting from the artist formerly known as CC
There was one in 2003 that was somewhat whimsical, but this one is better.
Travis Auld applying for this position??
I want him to stay with us.
I reckon this must a Pepper Scott recommendation. Bummers getting a kiss on the arse again?
There's a rumour circulating that McLachlan's been asked to reconsider and stay on for 2 more years...
DSTM!
Well he's already extended his stay once since announcing he was leaving...
There’s been a bit of a PR push by the AFL in recent weeks with Dillon. You normally don’t see or hear from him but he’s appeared at several community functions, they’ve put pictures up on their website of him etc etc.
I wish you’d listen to me , then you may possibly be able to break 100 fir the first time
