From memory just before the Melbourne game the club but CM back in again and that was the straw that broke the playing group - completely dropped the bundle v Melbourne and never recovered. It is hard to believe they persisted with CM when there were clear issues surrounding their work

He thinks he is the clubRoo is an entitled prick who thinks he's more important than the club. Should do the correct thing and piss off to give us clear air.
But if Roo steps down, it's four all. Olsen would get the deciding vote.Why would five of the nine board members (a majority of the total board) vote to remove themselves over the camp situation?
They're always going to cover their ass because that's how we've always operated
We've actually played in 8 Preliminary FinalsI couldn’t believe that headline when I saw it. I mean seriously. 2 flags from 3 Grand Finals. Another 4 preliminary finals. A bit of luck and you probably would be on 3 flags. No one would deny that there has been some underachievement (and every club could lay claim to underachieving or not maximising their “potential” at times). But that is just bizarre.
Edit: I see they also refer to Collingwood as failures. Ok… clearly they only have one act in their repertoire
Don't the AFL appoint/remove most of our Board Members?Do you actually understand how to remove a board member in any organisation?
Just because you want someone gone, there is a process.
Pressure needs to come from the membership base via petition.
The AFL could remove him very quickly if they wanted too.Don't the AFL appoint/remove most of our Board Members?
We have no control over Roo's seat on the board via a petition. He is not one of the token "Member Elected " Board members anymore.

Is Roo really the problem?
We had issues (see Tippett) before he was around.
Sorry, I thought you meant an official members petition as part of a process as per the club constitution. Pretty common for most club based organisations.I’m fully aware we have no control to remove him and the club has no control over how to remove him however if 30,000 Crows members signed a petition even the AFL would have to do something. The problem is most of the Crows members treat Roo like some sort of demi-god.
The main issue now is that you still have 6 board members who were on the board of directors when this all happened. If you get rid of Roo, you also have to remove the other 5. That ain’t happening, so unfortunately Roo will stay.
More the optics and he was the Football Department Director.Is Roo really the problem?

And he brought in Burton plus his post camp comments, they played them on FC last night and they make him look pretty silly now, another benefit of having your football director as a radio hostMore the optics and he was the Football Department Director.
Every other person in power has been stood down.

And also his "move on" comments on MMM last week when it broke.And he brought in Burton plus his post camp comments, they played them on FC last night and they make him look pretty silly now, another benefit of having your football director as a radio host
I wonder if he said anything this morning?And also his "move on" comments on MMM last week when it broke.
Creates more media issues for our club.
I highly doubt Olsen and Silvers want him there, they have done everything (get on front foot and apologise) right, but he is staying put.

He might bleed for the club, but the club will continue to bleed while he's there.I think if Roo actually loved the club he would go. He's just holding on so if the on field stuff ever turns around, that success will be partly attributed to him. He doesn't seem to realise his redemption arc will never come because he sucks at his job.
I doubt that would happen. This is a bit of an echo chamber. In the real world, the majority of Crows supporters, while not necessarily seeing him as a demi-god, would be happy enough with Roo staying, and many would agree with the things he has said.I’m fully aware we have no control to remove him and the club has no control over how to remove him however if 30,000 Crows members signed a petition even the AFL would have to do something.
