Its Time For Trigg To Resign.

[jenny61_99]

There's no explanation for it. I am one who thought Rendell had to resign (I know I am in the minority) but there is no way Trigg could survive under the same rules. In an interview Trigg covered this point and said the board decided that he deserved a second chance but didn't say why. It all stinks one way or another.

So there's no room for the Board to have realised they made an error in not fighting for Rendell given the behaviour by the AFL when Mifsud made his second mistake and the AFL covered for him, and so were therefore not willing to make the same mistake twice? I am not saying that's what happened, but could it be a possibility of why they did it for one and not the other?

I guess the difference is Alex, that often many (if not all) of you are talking the talk, but not walking the walk. Does that make sense? I see you angry and upset about things, but I see you do nothing about it. So that tells me one of two things. You aren't really all that upset, but you like to beat your chest in here to make you look/feel better. Or you do care, but don't have the inclination to take it further. Neither of those might be the case, or both might be. Or there might be a third reason.

Really?

Isn't this just covering old ground that we discussed last December just prior to the AGM?

Is it? Don't you think it's a fair comment?

 

[Elite Crow]

Does anyone have a link to the embarrassing comments made by Rendell that forced him to be on his last warning?

Not really no


Not when you won't acknowledge that some fans feel like the club doesn't listen to the supporter base regarding questions raised at the AGM.

I was at the AMG and some important questions asked were fobbed off with pleasantries to sound as if they were important but in reality, they were ignored. That doesn't give many people faith that asking a question will be listed to.

But we've gone over this and you won't change your mind, well you didn't last time and my I first hand evidence that they didn't and it wasn't the first time either.

Jen like your tenacity and politician ability to divert a issue by changing direction of discussion.
But many posters have asked you and any other Trigg supporter to list the good things that Trigg had done to be granted a pardon on Tippett disaster or the list of things Rendall had done wrong to be on final warning.

the board, decided that they shouldn't be discussed to avoid people being offended (I guess)

Surely if the comments were so bad that they would be in the public domain because after all wasn't he embarrassing the club?

 

[ftmch]

I wonder why our Board didn't accept Trigg's resignation but accepted Rendell's?

Rendell wanting out at the end of the season would have had a big part to play in that imo.

The club comes out if it with a clean and decisive outcome, all the while knowing that the guy had only one draft left in him anyway.

As it turns out our draft was useless thanks to Triggy but you've too easily dismissed "only one draft". Every draft is crucial and whose to say Rendell wouldn't have found us a couple of gems.

you've got me? but I'm one of those people who think the current admin are nigh on useless.

They would have had access to and utilised most if not all of his IP for that draft anyway.

It's not like MR walked out the door and they started all over again.

I wonder if Eddie or Gary Pert rang the Adelaide Football Club and asked what these indiscretions were, or if they didn't even care.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Matt Rendell leaving was never an issue, relatively speaking, his position was easily filled.

It's how and why he was let go, not whether he was or not.

And so did Collingwood

Love this- covering more bases than a Slippery Pete third date!

 

[Deaneus!]

And so did Collingwood

From memory they had picks 18, 19 & 20 or something, I shudder to think how those SA kids they grabbed will turn out.

Probably like ****ing legends.

That only came to light after we ditched him. Easy to have a bitter taste in the mouth then.

And lo and behokd he turned out so be sooo jaded with football that within months he was sounded out by the Pies.

It was common knowledge around the Club. Even Freddy or Freddy Bassett (can't remember which) who is a mate of Rendells said as much. Stop making it out to be something it isn't.

Even I agree with that.

Are you kidding? The AFC has long been recognised as one of the most professional and tightest run clubs in the competition. This is why there was so much dismay outside of the club with the Tippett debacle – because it was the AFC involved.

From the AFL itself, other clubs and coaches, player managers and sports journalists – the club was universally acknowledged – by people who should be able to effectively judge (ie not posters on the BigFooty main board) - as being extremely well run. There's no disputing this.

Theres an assumption that if you don't hear anything negative then everything is going well. Then a few little tidbits come out and they're disbelieved due to the many years of "good performance". When in reality, it wasn't necessarily good, but rather not bad enough to have been made public knowledge.

If Trigg & Rendell's situations were reversed in terms of timing, IMO the results would have been the same.

When the club reverts to plants to ask dorothy dixes at an AGM, you know they are only concerned with covering up the truth & limiting supporters to ask any questions that may she some like on the saga. Claytons accountability at its best.

The average supporter knows Trigg stuffed up far more than Rendell, but it was Rendell who got the biggest penalty. No amount of media spin/fluff will cover this up.
