Prediction Dr Sonja Hood AM

[Sphynx]

Unpopular opinion I suspect, but Noble had less to work with than Clarkson does (both in terms of the playing list, but also assistance coaches etc).

How is it unpopular?

You would ****in hope so…

Noble was 4 years ago, we traded a number 1 pick and have 3 bottom 3 finishes to boot worth of draft capital since then.

If the list isn’t better, something is seriously wrong.

Sonja made it happen…

 

[gokangas]

scottywiper - you tipped us into the breaking news re supporter demands of the board. What's the latest you are hearing?

 

[Arathrawn]

Its all gonna be fine boys.

Caro out there ripping the club but defending Sonja.

That's surely a death-knell.

Ah thanks giantroo I missed that.

I don’t disagree with most of what’s been said, but I will say it again. Where is the criticism of Todd Viney.

Todd is a gentleman, a great great person. But he needs to put his head up.

Unlike Sonja he gets paid, in terms of earnings he would potentially get more than Jen.

He runs the footy program, he is Clarkos best mate.

Where is the noise?

Well todds definitely providing clarko with enough rope to quote the well onown proverb. Question is if he had the stones to frop the gallows floor if need be? Because thetes. Plenty of evidence and not just win loss stuff that the plots been lost.

I'm not convinced Sonja is actually a "doctor'.

I've been asking the same question. Todd does come across as professional and no BS. But I've always wondered if he is invested in us or just there for his mate.

It's a strange one. It's not hard to see which parts of the club are running well and which aren't. Though despite Todd being in charge of all the chronically underperforming bits, he doesn't seem to attract any fire at all.

Well remember he originally had no intention of returning to football just wanted to stay on his farm. Took some convincing from Clarko and basically did it as a favour to a friend. Perhaps as time has passed he has developed passion again but if Clarko weren't there neither would he be.

 

[DuckYeah]

Whats running well? From my perspective, I really cant find one. The womens program aside (melb uni alumni + Internationals on Outside of cap LAHA + More funding than any other W program in the comp) I seriously struggle finding anything thats running well.

You just found one and some of the things its doing well.
It's pretty clear which part of the club is struggling the most, it's the bit we care about. The heat should be on the person running it.

So many torched draft picks, through poor talent ID and poor trading.

Everything that bloke touches turns or stays as dogshit. The two teams anchored to the bottom have his fingers prints all over their respective list builds.

100%, and he seems to escape any media scrutiny year on year. Bizarre.

 

[Passmore]

"I heard it from someone who wasn't there, but heard about it"...

So it's either reading Big Footy or some treacherous campaigner is using it to push their agenda.

Anyone running to this thing to air grievances should be treated with contempt.

Doesn't Sonja hold responsibility for underperforming GMs and List Managers?

Supporter frustration comes from the fact that Viney and Rawlings aren't being held accountable. People question if Viney is fully invested, but if he isn't, then the blame falls on the people who brought him back for a fourth year.

We're accepting poor off-field performance in the name of stability. That's on Hood.

He should have been fired after the trade period.

He spends an entire year talking to managers and scouting players, and then failed to get the job done with most of his targets. As a result we're heading into 2026 with Charlie Spargo as our big recruit. After years of poor performance that should have been the final straw.

Instead we all see the writing on the wall that he is likely to get sacked mid-year, which also jeopardizes this year's trade period. We have a massive list churn coming up, and there's a chance that we'll have to prepare for most of it without a list manager, and potentially a senior coach and GM.

The 2019 trade period was disastrous for us for that reason, and we're on track for a repeat of it.
