Urgh. Turned it on to find out they're talking about the Dogs now. BOOO!!!
Can anyone give a rundown of what happened?
Courtesy of one-eyed on OER:
* Great to back (at the club)
* Biggest surprise - lack of footy involvement. Lots of good people controlling those sides of things. Looking more after the commercial side.
* Needs to get the basics right. Senior managemtn and board transparent where we are at. A transforming job.
* AFLPA has different demands (caro asked is it a bludged compared to a club CEO role). Higher level of accountability at club level given you've got the pasion of members and fans.
* Cousins not at all has taken up his time. Media obsession. No extra time compared to any other player. Obviously took more this week with him in hospital.
* Had a go at Caro for suggesting Cuz was lectured about binge drinking. Caro said she said warned. Benny said in his time he hasn't been warned. Caro said it was before Gale's time and the people who warned him were and are still there. Gale said rumour and innuendo has followed Ben. We knew it would happen the moment we took him on. Latest rumour was Cuz had flown the coup. senior journo was chasing the story. Absolute untrue. Late last year when he had his finger surgery there was a week he was off as it all caught up with him. The coaches got him back up and there hasn't been a problem since. Cuz with the younger guys has been great and that is his legacy.
* We want to be the best. No point being here otherwise. We've got to build our commerical strength (various areas but especially membership), manage our finances better, eliminate debt.
* Hardwick is absolute transparent and has integrity (Caro said not very transparent avoiding interviews). Gale said Hardwick will talk when the time is right.
* Believes we'll win on Thursday night. We've got a pretty good midfield when they are up and running and have a few goalkicking options.
