Roo joined the board late in 2014 and Bassett joined Port at the end of 2015 when we had already promised the vacant defensive coach position to Podsiadly.And why has he never ever looked like having a role at the club pre Nicks ?
Roo has more say over the footy program than you realise over the past 6-7 years
Burton was a GM position, hence why the board may have some involvement in it. We also had a CEO who knew nothing about football and just seemed to follow everything Roo told him, which wouldn't be the case with Silvers. Roo would not be getting involved in coaching hirings below the senior position.
