Does everyone flip their lids if one of the findings is we have poor depth and everything will have to go absolutely right to match it with the best sides?
TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.
I’m guessing if that’s the belief within the clubs 4 walls and that’s unearthed in review then the findings would be along lines of we need to improve; drafting, MC, player development, cohesiveness and strategic planning across departments. Possibly also spending priorities.
I'm guessing if it is the finding then it won't be made public!
To be honest I don't see what Jackson is going to find over and above (in the main) what is already known. His review will give some gravitas to the process, for sure, but unless you're in the thick of things during red time you don't really know how people, process and systems elements of operations interplay and affect results.
The reality is the time to review the operation was when the operation was failing. Retrospective reviews whilst handy can only uncover so much.

That faction would most likely be Grant & 1-2 board members who support him.
Grain of salt, but the internal review as I'm told focused very hard on Grant's running of the football department and not so much on Bevo, information I was passed was ''Grant was very lucky to keep his job after the internal review''.
Would not surprise me if he isn't running our football department by this time next year.

Why wait until the wheels actually fell off? We only won 4 games in the last 11 (would have been worse but for Lobb single handedly thrashing Geelong seconds in the last game). The review could have started months ago. Will there be time to implement recommendations before next season begins?
It has just been announced Andrew Westacott has been elected to the board. Big news. Could be a future President.

Former Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) Chief Executive Andrew Westacott is set to join the Western Bulldogs’ Board of Directors at the Club’s 2023 Annual General Meeting.
Westacott, an unabashed Bulldogs supporter whose father John played for Footscray in the 1950s, has developed an impeccable reputation as an outstanding administrator and leader over a long period of time, having led the growth of Australia’s Formula 1 and MotoGP events on the global stage for 12 years.
His impending addition to the Board as a member-elected Director will be ratified at the AGM on December 18.
“We’re thrilled to have Andrew join our Board in December. He has a strong passion for the red, white and blue, and is excited to play a key role in the future direction of our Club,” said Bulldogs’ President Kylie Watson-Wheeler.
“Andrew clearly has a strong skillset which will add significant value to our current Board, and we will welcome his knowledge and expertise.
“With Andrew’s addition to our Board, we can confirm that we won’t have an election at our AGM this year, which is a great sign of stability as we move into 2024.”
Director Jerril Rechter (AM), whose current tenure on the Board concludes at the end of 2023, has nominated for another term and will be re-elected unopposed. She has been a Director of the Bulldogs for the last six years, having been appointed in 2018.
“We’re also pleased to have Jerril nominate for another term as a Director. She has made a terrific impact across many areas of the Club during her time on the Board, and we’re excited to have her continue the strong work she is already doing.”
Rechter is also a Board member of the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and plays a key role in the governance of the Club’s AFLW football program.
She is currently Head of Business Development at The Walt Disney Company, and has previously held executive positions at Basketball Australia, VicHealth, Leadership Victoria, Melbourne International Festival of the Arts and the Footscray Community Arts Centre.
Rechter was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2020 for significant service to community health, sports administration and the arts.

I think a lot of the moves we've made in the off season have fitted in nicely with your sharp axes thread.
The timing of these changes fits in nicely to have a fully focused club led by the footy department getting some early runs on the board.
It's not the sack Bevo theme, I wasn't a supporter of that view, but it's been comprehensive.

Sounds like a great appointment with Andrew and hope he goes well. Just out of interest when did we get to vote in a board member at the club. Would we vote if there was a board spill? I believe someone a ticket needs to nominate.
