Just following on....

Making the choice to self media and then sending Birdbrain out in one of the most important pressers of the season is bizarre.

Like a true amateur he set and walked into his own trap. Makes light of the camp, says the club laughs at how overblown it's been. Then when asked about what happened he clams up. If nothing like what has been reported happened, why can't you tell us?

Jesus - the look on his face. Hmmm, I've been done here, how do I get out.

FFS it's not hard - work out the message, then control it with talking points. Stick to the talking points!
Or... be genuine and stop with the bullshit spin? Stop micro managing your media. I’m so over manufactured BS. No matter which side is doing it. Just be honest goddamit.

Well that's funny, because when you're presented with facts (rather than spin) you proceed to spin it to suit your own pre-conceived ideas. :rolleyes:

What, they ALL had a break, that’s what the bye is for!
The bye week is for the players. Why does the CEO need a week off in the middle of the season. He'd get 4 weeks annual leave. He can take them any time. He can take them when games are on if he wants.

Also, as a CEO, when his business is in crisis, you cancel your holidays, or you phone in.

Hell, even Kochie went on the Footy Show to deal with the SPP stuff when he was on holidays, and he's not even an employee of Port.

So far as I can work out, the changes since I last had a look at this thread are that James Brayshaw and Dom Cassisi have weighed in.

I look forward to the considered thoughts of Denise Drysdale, Scott Carne and Brad Moran.

Interesting.

Wouldn't be exactly coming with a huge reputation, but a fresh, experienced face. Could do worse but who would we replace, or rather who would we bother sacking

I think that Pyke and Burton were probably the appropriate people to put up for that press conference, regardless of how it was handled.

A quick look around the other clubs and the CEO is often not seen as much as the Head of Football, we've maybe seen Brett once since he announced Lever left.

The issue we have with it is probably because he doesn't come across as having the authority someone in his role should have, so it seems like we've put up someone less than we should have. The right title to be the face of that press conference, not the right qualities, experience or resume to have the title.
