I'm not sure he had
that much baggage really. I think the only questionable thing he did was the Tippett deal, besides that Adelaide were very well run and he was a major reason for that. I was rather happy with the acquisition at the time.
Just further to praising those who have lifted the club, is it time we gave the board a good

? Given they're largely responsible for bringing in Bolton, Trigg, pissing off Swann and largely accepting we need to take the long approach to rebuilding this club. In the past they would've bristled at that suggestion and continued running the club into the ground. But the way they were able to do a complete u-turn is amazing. Probably in no small part due to Mark LoGiudice
, who I was dubious of at the time of arrival, but since he's turned up we've been going one way.
Also, bringing Juddy back to the club in an official capacity is very good coup, considering he said all throughout his playing career that post footy he'd probably have nothing to do with the game. The club must be a great place to be for him to change his mind and join up. He's a great thinker of the game and will be fantastic to continue to have at the club. Not to mention the impact it will have on his family and a certain trio of brothers in the next, say, 16-20 years
