They are keeping their heads down and trying not to draw attention to the club at present.
Anything they come out and say will have the opposite effect. It will lead to further criticisms.
Don't feed the fire.
They are going to lose a whole generation of supporters, not my generation, but a future supporter base, they may as well shut up shop because it becomes just a matter of time!
I'm passionate because I've seen a number of Australian businesses try this head down tactic as a means to survival on the vicious international stage, all it did was open the door for their competitors and ensured their ultimate demise!
It's very naive to think there isn't a battle for the survival going on within and between AFL clubs, and that other clubs might well view our own downfall as a way of securing their own survival! Their are many who already think that with the expansion clubs the slices of the pie are too thin, and that the pie isn't capable of growing to a sustainable level.
Do you think Sheedy would blink twice at a bigger slice of the AFL pie for CheatsFC if it came from a Carlton evaporation? No doubt in public he'd say one thing, how bad it was for the game, how tragic for the fans, but privately he'd be heating things up to ensure it happened even faster.
