News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

[Geoffa32]

The AGM should be rocking next year

Q: Was Scott Camporeale given a new contract in the review period? If so why

Q: What were the total payout figures for those staff that left? Did this impact our decision making going forward?

Q: Why the hell are you still Chairing this meeting?

I would be surprised if anyone had the stones to stand up and ask those questions in an open forum.

What was Skipworth doing? And what did Roo have to call in to get him that job?

How the hell could Burton get another job in clubland.

Collective Mind is part of the Illuminati , i don't know ... it sounds more feasible than wanted talent .

Have we met?

 

[ad victoriam]

I reckon Nicks wants a Senior Assistant, but we went to the market too late.

Got to remember this is a somewhat specialized role and Nicks would most likely want someone he can work with and trusts. The point of the role.ks to be the Head Coach's right hand man. And for a younger coach a bit of a mentor.

Given the pool of available candidates he may well have decided to go without one rather than take someone he does not want.

I don't now about that
From the very start Nicks was not sure if he wanted a senior assitant or more help in other areas, ie Development
Latter he started to favour more development help to relace the older knowledge leaving the club.
I am suprised a lot on BF are critising the club re not wanting a senior assistant.
At this time with the last few years in mind do the players need a split leadership group, No they need 1 boss and a bunch of assistant pulling in the same direction, not 2 leaders with a bunch of assistants.
As for help for Nicks he is better of with a personnal mentor not involved with the Coaching side of things and maybe an Outside mentor.

But maybe the poeple critizing and blaming the club should have a chat to Nicks, at this time he is appoachable and very friendly. He has a strong charater and not the type to need a senior assistant.

Shall I bring some popcorn to the AGM?

The last one I went to was just after Tippetgate and Trigg got a standing ovation.

It was sickening.



You are probably one of the few who would raise such questions beyond this forum.

I remember that, we stood together in shock and disgust

Time for some blowtorches to be applied to the board

The bottom line is: I have absolutely NO control over what happens at the club. None. Nada. Zilch. JUST LIKE YOU. So, I could get my knickers in a twist and just assume everything they say is a lie, and they are incompetent and inept and blah blah blah

This is largely why our club is where it is.

In one sense you’re correct. We don’t have voting rights, so we lack a bit of tooth in terms of keeping the administration honest.

We should absolutely be critical and scrutinous though. On the one hand you say you wanted the review, then on the other you chastise people for “whinging”.

How do you think the review came about?

Sycophants are ruining the club. They enable the club to do what it likes. I get why they default to pedalling bullshit - the majority will lap it up. Not just accept it, but embrace it. Well played again AFC, bravo!

I could understand a person with a causal interest not wanting to get involved with the off field stuff. Passionate supporters should care enough to analyse the off field performance, be critical where it’s not up to par, call out the club on its bullshit.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting the club to be held to high standard.

 

[FR0GGY]

Dealing with off-cuts this time of year.

So are we interviewing all the other “Burtons”

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Who are the new development coaches we've brought in?

 

[FR0GGY]

Nicks has decided he doesn’t want development coaches.

Nicks decided that he didn't want good draft picks in return for Greenwood and Keath

He won't need them - we're tanking this year, remember?

 

[Deaneus!]

also, it seems the Essendon board knows nothing about Burton

Member's voting rights. That will lead to a board of 10 ****ing ex-players. Not sure it's a good idea.

That's because it was made up.

They aren’t familiar with records.

It was funnier when it was real

That's not true. I botted the club's rigged clash jumper poll which forced them to reconsider it

So you got that going for you, which is nice.

Well I'm just saying it's bullshit to say supporters have "absolutely no control over what happens at the club". Of course they do. Either through singular actions (adjusting polls) or group efforts (blowing up social media calling for a review)

Someone needs to release a piglet onto AO with "sack Chapman" painted on it.

Ok... we MOSTLY have no control. Therefore, why bother with all the angst? I've sent emails to Fagan when I've not been happy about stuff. I've commented on social media if I agree with what people are putting forward (ie. call for a review, or sacking of Burton et al). But I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, because they'll either do something, or they won't. Being in a perpetual mind set of "they are all evil and will only be happy when the club burns and crashes", frankly seems like too much of a bother to me. I follow the club for the footy, not for the backstage dramas whereas that seems to be the only thing some in here are interested in.

After watching us play the last two years, the backstage dramas are all we've had to look forward to.

Burton and Campo being sacked was the best day I've had as a Crows fan since the 2017 PF.

Fair comment. I too did do a little jig when the news came through.

I suspect that over the next 12-24 months we are going to hear more and more stories leaking out about just how inept some of our staff were and the damage that was done. When it does, it is going to reflect very, very poorly on Chapman and Roo.
