Those who fail to learn the mistakes of the past, are doomed to repeat them.

We should replace mens sana in corpore sano with the latin equivalent.

Perhaps we should focus on the ‘sound body’ part of the motto ?

So the findings of the review are to remain a secret. Why announce the review then?

Thats in line with what Mal Speed said weeks ago on radio and makes sense to me.

This was a big point i made when it was announced mid-year.

There is literally no point announcing it publicly. Do it in private, ideally, don't even tell the people at the club you are doing a review.
The shear fact you tell someone you are conducting a review changes their behaviour and actions.
Tell only those you must, and leave it at that.

Instead, its been public. People are scrambling. We lost Barker mid-year. Others are trying to cover their butt.
Media pressure has gone through the roof.

All for what......silence?

I'm guessing they're keeping it a secret because they don't like the conclusions - i.e the footy department is functioning as well as can be expected, when you factor in that sitting above it is a complete bunch of flogs and halfwits, and rather than throwing grenades every other week because they're incompetent panic merchants, they should support the football personnel properly.

I don't think the intention was ever to make it fully public...nothing to do with the findings.
I didn't expect them to release them other than in general terms.
It wasn't for us.
It was for the decision makers.

They'll make some changes and say the decisions were the result of the review.
Make up your own minds whether that's Fkd up or not.

You are probably right.

The question i have is......why make it public then?
What is there to gain?

Plenty to lose though....

To quote a little exchange between Eddie and Caro on Footy Classified

Eddie: ….But the other part of it is this…If Luke Sayers is running this, he’s no fool, he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s not telling anybody, but he knows exactly what’s going on, he may well be a committee of one... lining things up to be executed.

Caro: But why bring in all these experts to have a review?

Eddie: To shut the media up.

Problem was... it didn't work.

So 'Mr one man committee' has already stuffed up before he has even officially started?
Thats a new record for us.
