Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs

[crashlander]

must be corrected - 7 of the current 8 directors that appointed MM are still on the Board - they are responsible

I am not sure ANY of the board members were directly responsible for recruiting Thomas. I seem to recall that a certain former coach, some recruiting staff and maybe a GM having more input than any board member, including the President of the club. Most of these have been replaced already.
That the board must have rubber stamped it, they probably remember now with embarrassment, but it is not their responsibility to make those decisions. if they had interfered with that process, then they would deserve to be sacked.
