Richard Garvey, Stuart Fox and particularly Geoff Harris deserve the credit for the Kennedy Centre. I guess it shows the benefits of sustained on field success.
Is that a confusion of not wanting to interfere in internal planning with not implementing them more widely?
I would assume the plans are "Kennett's plans", he's smart enough to know that in the back-room he isn't the smartest bloke in the place. But that doesn't mean he won;t do everything he can within his network of connections to make the plans of his associates happen! I'd argue having a Kennett or McGuire type on hand improves the boards chance of getting a things actioned, just as having Dick Pratt on-board helped Carlton!
Love him or hate him, he makes things happen, he's not just an ideas man!

Yet the AFL officially appoints a person like Sheedy as a spokesperson!
The might be hypocrits but they are not idiots, they know how opinions are formed and how much subjectivity comes into play in the decision making process.
