When did Ricciuto join the board? I'm guessing the same time the review started.

If he had someone lined up why did he call Goodwin?

The thing that I thought Sando should have been getting right was this 'champs one week, chumps the next' yo-yo that we had to watch this season. I don't know how a coach is supposed to get this right, but he just has to. It's his 'magic coach juice'. But Sando was saying "I don't know what it is, I cant' put my finger on it, we need to try and figure it out and put it right". I didn't like that.

They have said the review was conducted by Chapman, Noble and Roo (maybe Payze also) as well as Sando himself (although obviously not in relation to himself).
Id say they made their own decisions and then consulted with the rest of the board.

Lets hope the "ROOvolution" doesn't end up with us getting "ROOted".

Again in the AA or MMM interview last night. Chappy said he asked Roo to start his tenure early to help with the review. Can't remember exactly when he came onboard, but think the board didn't like the way the club was tracking halfway through the year.
Because they are mates... Don't you call your friends occasionally?

Charades.
We would of called Goodwin before that night, if we were interested in him.
Good point. The only thing I came up with, is Roo asked him to come as an assistant to which he said no thanks.

Board members are not there to do administration. The staff are there to do that. Boards ARE there to do governance, but directors don't all need to have the same skill sets, as long as the board as a team has the various areas covered. Roo may be there to oversee the strong leadership and footy culture within the club, and if he does that well then he is succeeding. So far so good.

Not to offer them coaching positions.

So that would suggest Ricciuto is the head kicker. Was brought in for a purpose.

It doesn't point one way or the other. Remember, we'll likely be filling more than a few vacancies in our coaches box.

Valid point. I'm just being cautious. Lets wait and see what position we are in in 6 weeks time before we go branding these guys the new messiahs. Theres alot to get excited about. Cautious optimism.

There are very often working review committees that include board members in the corporate world.

I agree but before this I was in a totally depressed state and was going to give up my membership. I feel like a teenager again now. If only Blighty was still the messiah!
So he's been loyal to the coaches whilst they're in the role AND to the club throughout...what's he done wrong again?

Don't understand the big deal about the Roo phone call. They are mates, and Roo was probably just touching base to see where Simon was at.
Do people seriously believe Roo was calling to offer Goodwin the senior coaching job? Really? C'mon.
There will be a selection process in place, and Roo was probably just asking Goody to see if he was interested.
Gosh, I can't believe how poor the media reporting has been around this matter.

Would he have called him if we already had a big name coach signed?
Yeah, fair call - probably the wrong choice of wording on my part (which is why I'm nowhere near a board
)

no need to swear mate. The players did not miraculously galvanize at the bombers. It would have taken some very experienced leadership from bomber Thompson and co. If you actually read my post properly before going off half cocked you would see I said it is a good move if we have an experienced coach lined up. A rookie with no senior support such as a Bailey will struggle imo.

The loyalty to the club is always more important than to any player or coach. If it is not, then the club is dead.

Absolutely, why not? They are mates. If hypothetically we have a big name coach signed, then he may have been touching base with him with respects to a senior assistant coaching role.
