Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
As I said in a previous post, there are a few good consultants, most a charlatans. The adelaide one may work.
Are you trying to reset time frames, we started our rebuild in 2016. We are at the 8 season mark.The president himself said our objective is finals. Currently we sit 14th, closer to the spoon than finals. Stop sugar coating this, results don't justify your perspective.

Mate, you're trying to sell him licorice blocks & musk sticks but all he wants are sherbet bombs.
No, because the clear objective of the Carlton review was finals in the 7th season after a rebuild.(2022) The difference is the crows review initiated their rebuild. The problem is since day dot the results of the club do not justify most of your arguments and then you adjust time frames to suit your narrative. This allows you to say a review was successful, if the club makes finals many years after a review. If we make finals, it won't be due to a consultants review but due to decisions made by our leadership.
I drank a lake of that vanilla stuff. Made and bottled in Wangaratta and flogged by The Man from Salzburg.
Me too. Chocolate for me though. Pestered Mum no end for it.
Then Big M had to ruin everything!
Correct, as I said initially external reviews are largely irrelevant, an expression of consultancy culture. The board and leaders need to have it in them to set direction. If they can't do that, they should be replaced
sometimes it's the only way to break the inward looking cycle of naval gazing by people who have been around way too long to be interested in change......
I dunno Jezz. External reviews can do things that are impossible for an internal to do because the internal might be hamstrung by the politics of the organisation. Of course, the external review may only parrot what the internal wants them to do, but that’s pretty commonplace. The external gives a legitimacy to the change that an internal is often unable to provide.
I want a board that know how to fix the football club and not need external direction for their ideas. 8 years on a board, Sayers should have industry knowledge to set our strategic direction. Come on, the guy called a review and left a failed football department largely in tact.
Replacing all the coaches is leaving a football department intact?
They replaced the senior coach, then did a mad rush to compile a 2nd rate list of assistants. Look at our assistants compared to the top clubsHead of football the same, fitness the same.
Not what you said. Your rhetoric is illogical.
You don't understand the role of Boards mate - there are no executive directors on football boards - except in the worst of Clubs.
As I say Jezz, an external review can make decisions that a board never can, for a whole host of political reasons. It may also be that they just provide legitimacy to what the board wants to do, but can never publicly voice (again for political reasons). We can’t know the intricacies of the relationship between the board and the reviewers. But I think it’s somewhat extreme to dismiss the idea of an external review.
