If you take Brad at his word then even his wife didn’t know about it....do we know Brad well enough to take him at his word? If the leak dries up then it was him.
Agree with that. I have no qualms about Brad getting the arse. He was done after the Good Friday loss. I honestly think we have issues keeping things in house. Maybe I’m just too old fashioned and don’t like people talking out of school. If I were running the joint I’d want to know whose running to the media every time there’s a story coming out of North and get rid of them.
The leak came from within.

This is not what the current prevailing theory is from people close to the situation, for what it is worth.
Probably. It most likely it's just someone who had a big secret who isn't smart enough or disciplined enough to keep it to himself.
My concern is when there’s a real secret this board will be incapable of keeping it.
Him?
Carlton?According to another poster admittedly from Freo the board conducted a secret external review last year which recommended sacking Scott and other perps in key positions. If this is true it might explain our performance so far this year ie Scott's eye was off the ball and again if true shoes the board are in fact maybe very good st keeping confidences (also may explain why old mate who applied for a board position didn't get a look in) so on the weight of the circumstantial evidence on hand I think we have to accept Mr Scott did it on the golf course with a 3 iron and a quiet word in a trusted media reps ear.
BTW Scott's has already stitched up his next gig, him saying he never discussed this with his manager just makes me want to vomit. Maybe he did it via Skype text or sign language but communication happened and if you don't believe that then you must believe in fairies. Small glowing fairies with wings and pink tutus that flit about at the bottom of bob browns garden who BTW does not endorse this message.

When pushed to a position of little control a person who has a strong affinity for control will sieze control over whatever elements thay can, in defiance of nothing else.This is not what the current prevailing theory is from people close to the situation, for what it is worth.
Is, did his wife not know about it, the same as David King refused to present a jumper to one of our debutaunts?
She may have known he was a dead man waking, just not known the exact time it was happening.
This is one big PR job. There are probably a lot of half truths being bandied about by both sides.
His wife didn't know, and she knew before he got home.
He got the call while driving home, and he was asked to drop in on the CEO when he was still at the club.
Stories keep shifting.
I'm over it. Who's in the team on Friday night?
I get it, you think Laura Kane is the rat.
Let's not and say we shouldn't.Maybe his wife leaked it. Think about it. Late afternoon on a Friday night. She's been at home all day, all week, alone, having had little sleep after being woken by Brad mumbling in his sleep about how Jamie Macmillan will win a Brownlow one day. She's just done the pick up from kindergarten/child care/prep. She's driving home, the teacher has whinged about something irrelevant and the kids are giving her the shytes. "Can I have a drink when I get home?" "No, not from that cup" "My brother is looking at me." She's put up with this crap on her own ever since she's met Brad. She snaps. She calls the laziest football journo she can think of. She can only think of one. Robbo. She off-loads knowing that Robbo won't actually do any research into what she says. Bingo. By 5pm it's on line. Brad's done and he's doing the pick up on Monday. You know it makes sense.
I’m genuinely surprised I’m the only one who cares that our board can’t hold their cards to their chest.
But there was a leak. Brad Scott had a meeting with the board & coaching department to discuss the plan moving forward, one option was that they should go down the rebuild path. After the other coaches left the meeting, he told the board that if they chose that path he would not be able to stay on as coach and would step aside.
The board decided to take him up on that and would let him go.
Before the coach had the chance to speak to the players, and even his family, someone from the board spoke outside of that circle and the story was out.
That’s not good enough.
