Especially when a new CEO comes on board. Just spent the last year dealing with that myself.
Had 3 within a year once - crazy stuff!

However, for afc it is long overdue...

If the staff are competent they should have nothing to worry about, but if they aren't...

Correct. There's a name on the players jumper's left breast about whom I'm referring to. I went to a very big function last evening and the word getting around is that the club has been advised and Ill use the words I heard, "stop becoming amateur hour".
This was my biggest concern with Sando. I felt he was often running a social club program over an elite professional club. He appeared to be too matey with some of the players...and by reports not communicative enough with others. I felt really uneasy when he was in the media doing conferences saying things like 'I hope the right team turns up this week'. No Sando, you don't hope...you demand. You set the agenda and you ensure that as the leader of the playing group you develop that culture. I felt he didn't have the confidence in his players abilities. There are no excuses at the elite level. Age, weather, injuries etc are for amateur clubs.

The state jumper fiasco was just the start this year, the marketing at the beginning of the year was really amateur, and the on-field results were poor. Whatever happens from here on in, the club must show a clear vision, a demanding culture and a unified approach without compromise.

Afc currently has too many staff with a senior management title - the amount if gm's alone is ridiculous for an organisation of that size. There is not enough work to go around for everyone in the structure, which suggests there are people not pulling their weight.

I expect we will see a more streamlined professional corporate structure in place with the deadwood cut loose. Should give us more money to go towards footy operations rather than trigg, smart & chappy's mates!

The financial statements as well as showing a drop in corporate sponsorship show increased administration costs. For what?

The cushy jobs of the triggy era are over...

So where do we go from here?
just wonder if anyone had a chance to read McDermott's article in todays SM? Calling for ROO to coach.
Seriously Bone is an absolute W*****!
I read it as Bone virtually accusing Roo of causing all that has recently happened and petulantly challenging Roo to now fix/save the Club.

He sounds like one of those wanker supporters that shouts out "you get out there and do better", after the slightest bit of criticism directed toward a player.

Exactly what I thought..
Was a bit of a sooky smart ass slap "ok you think it was all so bad that this had to be done, you do better yourself then, we'll see how you go"

A no lose position. If the new coach fails then Bone can whack again. When it does work he'll claim credit for holding Roo to account.

Where does the majority of the Smart hate come from? Is it mainly the jumper fiasco?

I've heard he was one of the few who was actually quite critical of the club - especially in regards to handlings of certain matters (Tippett being one that comes to mind). Whether he's a capable manager is a different question. But I have a feeling Fagan may give him a year to assess his worth.

Bones is an embarrassment to our Club with his hatred of it. It comes across both active and passively. Subtle and deliberate. His negativity and bitterness is for all to hear every day.

Maybe Bone should put his hat into the ring...he's done more coaching than Roo...North Adelaide were top three all the time he was coach...oh sorry bottom 3 after making finals in first year as coach....

After a thorough review of the football club we regret to announce the following lay-offs, which I will now read in alphabetical order:

Harper, Phil

That is all.

A few cheap shots by other Clubs regarding the way we sacked Sando.

Lets have a read of the way the Power did, they declared that Primus was "safe" and yet sacked him two weeks after that.


"Thomas a fortnight ago declared Primus "safe".

"I've liked a lot of what I've seen with Matthew," Thomas told Channel Seven on July 20.

Not aired in that interview was Thomas's belief Primus commanded the respect and attention of the players.

This is now in question considering too many Power players are accused of not trying against the Giants and not appearing to respond to Primus."
