Football Department Review

[crashlander]

Wayne Carey wants Nth to throw a godfather deal at Harry and I presume also look after his brother Ben too. I think Harry will stay but will cost us a bit more than anticipated.
Id be inclined not to over pay...

You know where Carey can put his godfather deal.

So the cynic in me thinks Harry is about to walk and the review is a smokescreen to absolve the club of the blame.

McGovern and Williams are millstones hanging round our neck.

Williams will be fine. Tough and skilful.  Just finding his feet

I find it hard to believe that anyone worth their salt would conduct a review, or provide any other service, without being paid by the organisation seeking the review or service.  Of course, Lowe, Walsh and Pavlich are being paid by the club and that certainly doesn't mean that they will pull their punches.  Perhaps the club should have called for volunteers to have conducted a review for free ... that would work out really well  :

The club has picked three independent, well-qualified blokes who are in no way beholden to the club and I reckon their review will knock a few scabs off.

Having worked with internal and external auditors, I know that they don't give a fat rat's clacker about who is paying their bills ... and they're in deep sh1t if they don't comply with Australian Auditing Standards.

I'm a lot happier after reading the President's email.

Dunstall was on mmm talking about the crows review,  interviewed every player and footy dept employee (that would be what, 70-80 people?) for 30 mins to an hour each. Then wrote up the report with recommendations.  That’s a lot of work.  Yep, no one is doing that for free!!!

Word is Dunstall knocked us back.

Would he be available at this stage of the season? He does a lot of media work.

Yep. There was an article suggesting as much.

I think he was a Carlton fan back in the day too. Ouch.

Judging by what I have read circulating in the media, a review is in place to assess our coaching staff. What happens next? If the entire coaching panel is below the standards we need to succeed do we start fishing for a better group of assistant coaches first? Is it not the way that a senior coach generally selects his own crew? I am curious how deep this review goes and whether it could question recruitment of players and player development? I would suggest a review should go from head to toe of the entire club. Board members and players too. I wonder how ugly this process might end up.

Or, he is now working on fox and mmm, and can’t spare the 200hrs for this review

He's done reviews with similar time commitments in the past
