He's got very little to do with what happened on the field today, but he must answer for some the coaching and staff appointments, even though the board must tick it off!
I gather he'll wear some of the immediate heat, but that will just be a smokescreen hiding some of the real offenders.

Apparently Tom Elliot is gathering numbers as we speak..........

No surprise, doubt he'll get much traction though, the problems run deeper!

The number one problem is our woeful list, we've got about half a dozen tops who would even make Richmond's list let alone get a game for them.
Cripps and Charlie would get a game at any side, then you struggle.

On paper, Richmond's list also looks average. Wonder what Hardwick, Caracella and Balme could with our boys.

Dimma's skill was recognising the coaches were the real problem, he's sacked most of the influences who refused to let go, and stepped back to let the talent take control!

No one could make AFL players out of some of ours.
I'm not exonerating the coaches but when you cast a critical eye over our playing list you realise just how thin it is.
Realistically Docherty, Byrne and Dow were the only players missing today who could be a part of a good side in three or four years from now, Plowman maybe, so even if we hit pay dirt in the next few drafts we'll still be down on talent.
I think that Kennedy was another bad call by us as well.

Actually, if our draftees from the last 3 years wore red and white I bet they'd all be firing, contributing heavily to a good side, not going backwards. We need to look at what is going on inside our club. Our draftees have shown talent individually. Why isn't it being developed. Rhys Palmer might've been onto something with that tweet. You'd think he'd have an idea.
Kennedy I've liked the last few weeks. Can't help injuries and fitness. It's done the job of helping out Cripps alot and letting him float forward rather than getting clobbered all day.

As fans we often quickly assume he talking about players, coaches or football department, but maybe not!
