News Ben Buckley stepped down as President, BIGFOOTY'S OWN Dr Sonja Hood has taken on the role.

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He was popping up on my feed now and then with comments, but lately all I noticed was the parody account posting a lot more than usual. Did a search for his and it looks like he hasn’t tweeted for a month or so. Guess he’s back in gaol.

Those types don't change.

Gil’s travelling assistant.
Most likely Bartel’s squeeze

A big old steaming pile.

Sonja really needs to get moving on an externally run review.

Worst president in our history.
From 2017 to 2022 we played 0 finals, f***ed up 2 coaching appointments in Brads contract and signing Rhyce, maybe even a 3rd could go wrong, overseen one of the worst list overhauls in recent memory that has us at our worst ever level of performance in 50 years - but half the campaigners on here reckon he was great because the Tassie money paid off the debt.

What an uninspiring, miserable piece of s**t presidency. Made worse than the fact after year 1 in 2017 he said it was a good year. Good riddance.

Failure sets in at any organisation he runs.
He was Aleague CEO from 2006 to 2012 and didn’t even manage to capitalize on the success of the golden generation before his successor came in and f*ed it up, took over at Foxtel and saw them lose the EPL rights and f* up the streaming boom though I’m not complaining that Foxtels lost subscribers.
Then you have us. He literally f***s anything he gets his hands on.

I think Sonja is a few years away from making any decisions at the club , they did a great job of hiding her after the Luff fiasco.

To be fair, at least he had the balls to pull the trigger on Scott. Even though, completely stuffed up the next appointment

After signing him for 3 years 12 months earlier.

When he still had 18 months to go on his current contract. Was a horrible decision at the time, and a big part of why we are in this mess.

The board should be the ones hiring a firm to do an external review

Correct.

I get Sonja has only been here two minutes, but Sayers did their review immediately. Surely she has seen enough.

I thought that was under JB

JB finished up October 2016.
Ben Buckley extended Brads contract October 2017 before Dusty or Kelly had signed. In the end they both left and we had to pay Brad for 3 years worth of work he only did half of. Then came Rhyces contract in 2019 that he only saw 12 months of.

Sonja follows Clementine Ford & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on instagram.

Make of that what you want.

But for me - when your instincts are telling you something from the start, back ya self and don't be swayed by the progressive peacocking of others.

Didn't Scott approach the board telling them that he felt a change was needed?

At that point....Buckley and the board had no choice but to make the change.

Otherwise Scott would still be our coach to this day.

Any more pics of our CEO in a selfie with a random woman at an event at Docklands?
