And his son Rick who I am sure was an AFL stooge.
Rick was not an AFL stooge. He was the CEO of the club and he was doing his job which was to steer the club under the directive of the Chairman and the board of directors, the majority of whom were in favour of relocation. If he opposed relocation, he would be in conflict with the board, his position would be untenable, and he would be forced to resign. As it played out, once the board resolved to stay in Melbourne, it was clear to all that his position was untenable, and that's when he did the only honourable thing left to do, which was to resign.
