Real reach around tooDo we know they ONLY posted on seek? Usually you still have recruiters searching even if it is on seek as well. Not to mention the industry is small, I’m sure they would’ve been sounding people out for the role. This is a real reach.

Not saying he's good, bad or otherwise (but I lean towards average), but CEO experience is not the be all and end all.Shane Dunne had no CEO experience other than the running of the Tigers leisure activities. He may be talented. He may be a worthy CEO. I'm simply calling out that it was an internal hire of an "up and comer" in this instance.
Absolutely the review should be external , like in 2016 , these three are reviewing themselves at the moment , it’s not bad luck it’s bad management , the Board should be overseeing them but el presidents us too busy looking at the 4 that flemingtonNo-one should be sacked UNTIL the club completes a review (independent) on what the fck happened this year with injuries. It may be that we've simply been unlucky but we do need to look into it. And it should not be Dunne, Serpell or Livingstone that leads this review.
It is obvious though that as a practice, the club is appointing "up and comers" into leadership positions rather than appointing established, top echelon leaders.

Serpell is similar in that he had not previously led a High Performance unit himself. He was a part of but did not lead. He may be unbelievably talented.
Tim Livingstone as the GM Football Performance would have been central in the decision making. If not the decision maker who made the recommendation to Dunne and the Board to employ Serpell. He's been at the club a long time and may be great at this job. Regardless, he is not squeaky clean if it is found that there are "areas of improvement" in the conditioning space.

You have to start somewhere.
I've worked for or dealt with plenty of big companies where the CEO was an absolute lemon, while there were plenty of talented people forced into much lesser roles.
If the CEO fails, he'll simply move on and get another CEO gig and probably fail again and again. But it won't prevent him from getting that next CEO job.
So you don’t believe there is any possible way; it is something else besides him. Let’s have a look; he has been at the club for what, not even 12 months yet this has been an issue for three years. I am no good at maths but it says it’s something else rather than Serpell.OP's a ****wit.
I think O'Rourke is soft as president, rarely speaks about issues that are affecting us as a club.Well then it falls on Dunne. And by extension oRorke

Yes, must be an external group, like Ernst & Young previously.Absolutely the review should be external , like in 2016 , these three are reviewing themselves at the moment , it’s not bad luck it’s bad management , the Board should be overseeing them but el presidents us too busy looking at the 4 that flemington
Poor and non existent recruiting , allowing premiership players to play too long and go out on their terms , has slowed the regeneration of the team .I'm not getting involved in this rubbishing of the Club's personnel...
I'll wait till the new Club buildings are built and being utilized...and then see how we are going...
Big ask in my book to come in...rebuild the clubhouse and Team with new set of coaches...
How do people come up with Serpell? That is the problem. When we have been like this for about 3 years, is it beyond common sense? Doctor, is he right to go? Yes, all good. Serpell tries to get players fit, and he breaks down. Serpell the problem? A player goes down in play! Doctor, what happened? I don't know; let's blame Serpell. Come on, put your thinking caps on for once.No-one should be sacked UNTIL the club completes a review (independent) on what the fck happened this year with injuries.

A review should be done internally, and all face the music and act properly by putting their hands up and saying, "This is where I farked up." The others do the same, and then they work together to fix the problems by first recognizing the mistakes.Absolutely the review should be external , like in 2016 , these three are reviewing themselves at the moment , it’s not bad luck it’s bad management , the Board should be overseeing them but el presidents us too busy looking at the 4 that flemington
Mate as a Club we are a rabble...stone cold last on the AFL Ladder...All weak as piss and turning the club into a rabble
we are a rabble full stop that’s the problem always an excuseMate as a Club we are a rabble...stone cold last on the AFL Ladder...
That's how we were left after 3 Cups...gutted like a salmon...
Gutted of players, draft picks, Coaches, Clubhouse and Admin...
The only thing the Club currently has a surfeit of and to show...is player injuries and free kicks against total...for yonks!
As a Club we are leaders in those...
Suck it up sunshine...
No-one has ever said it was going to be easy rebuilding a football Dynasty with an extra team added to the Comp!

Are you speaking on behalf of the people which i stated or yourself?At no point in time did I blame Serpell. I called out that the club needs to undertake a review...preferable with someone external to the club. Let's get to the bottom of this and if required, take action.
