Blight claiming long serving people on and off the field are gone at the end of the year. Likened it to 96.

The leader of the bunch.
Where is this information?
Chapman quietly extended himself for an additional THREE years at the start of this year - at no point in time has it been stated as anything else.
He recently told us he only extended himself for three years due to the death of Foord, which is a rubbish excuse anyway, but, again, did not state he was leaving at the end of this year.
If it was true that he always intended to go at the end of this year, then why give yourself another 3 year term, and do it so quietly?
Pretty sure he said, like it or not, that is what SHOULD happen, and it is clear as day to him.
I don't think he stated it would happen?
I thought he said it would, and that it was clear to everyone it should.
I could be wrong though, my short term memory is crap.
Once the external review is done there will be large scale changes. Don playing it down just like he plays down a miserable performance like saturday afternoon.
Burton hasn’t been long serving, he’s just been ****ed serving
That’s too late, the review should have commenced one month ago so we can move on it’s recommendations asap and be ready for 2020

This club is too conservative to do anything when they need to.
Richmond review took 12 weeks to complete. Starting it at the end of the year takes us past the draft and trade periods and into when the setup has been finalized for 2020.
That’s my point
Do you think that is a coincidence?
A review is only as useful as the terms of reference it operates under (and, in the sporting field, timing is critical, as you say)...
So let's see how broad the scope is.

Exactly!
Talk that Chapman was intending to handover the Chair is complete BS because why would he just give himself a new 3 year deal.
Surely people are not buying this crap.
Chapman needs to go at the end of the season as he is typical of the lack of honesty resonating with AFC.

Should we take it that Ben Hart will be at the club next year seeing as the deadline for assistant coaches to be hired/sacked has passed and he is still being trotted our to do media interviews. Would have thought if we had told him to look elsewhere we would t use him for that role.
Someone else pointed out a few days ago that the 1st Aug date isn’t a hard deadline, merely AFL Coach’s Association has asked clubs to just be considerate of providing notice.
Cornes Senior also suggesting there needs to be changes in both the Football Dept and Assistant Coaching Group.
The ‘external noise’ is growing, good thing for the club that they shut it out.

Why would he need to ‘hand over’ anything to the new guy. It’s not like he’s sitting on the secret recipe to football club success. Just give the new guy the password to the computer and take all the fidget spinners out of the top draw.
It's not a deadline to be hired sacked, it's just a "courtesy" to let assistants know early if they'll be re-contracted for next year so they have time to find alternative work.
