    I wasn't pissing on consultants with my post by the way, in fact, the opposite. I had a negative view of consultants until I became one, and then I just refined my view to generalists who have no expertise outside of being consultants. It took fifteen years on supply side before I could even think about getting a senior con role at the firm I joined.
    I was joking BTW which may not have been very clear. I think most jobs are make believe anyway.

    Is this your agenda, or Barrett?s? Or did you get this from a 65 page consultant report?

    Cause it?s wrong. I have decades of first hand experience on this topic.

    Well Barrett and co it’s down to Bailey Smith pile on as that’s all they have left after trying every other player coming out of contract.
    I just wish we sign all of them to stuff up all the journos rubbish.
    Bring back the biff

    As for so called media experts, as has been mentioned already, they don't know the inner workings of a club, the game plan, the players situation eg injury or not, and seem to all just spout the same thing. Yesterday I was flipping the stations in the car and heard Malthouse carrying on about Naughton to the backline. The other commentator said, is it because Bevo is stubborn? Malthouse backed in Bevo and mentioned various things on why he hasn't moved Naughton.

    To me, it is pathetic the way the media carryon when a team is losing - very tiresome.
    You're a consultant? I'd never had picked that.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
