This is a great forum with intelligent contributors and agree most make alot of sense.
    I have no idea on how Grant is performing in his role, he seemed to be the tiebreaker in the Stinger trade between Dodoro and McCartney so I assume he is doing his job well but I don't really know.
    Does it mean he is good at spinning stories? probably not based on this article and one after last years draft that appear to be way off the mark. Essentially I'm only challenging the content of the article and the action of the club at the trade and draft tables over the last 2 years and saying the stories don't match. Others can judge and debate if that's is the right assumption or not.

    For anyone in any doubt as to the effect of the message delivered by Grant and the words of Bevo pre and post match...Lyon, Brown and Roos were champing at the bit to question how misaligned the messages are.
    Now they are always keen to look for a way to sink the boot in, but our poor media and communication strategy has clearly seen us offer our head to pop up over the parapet.

    Exactly. One thing we're great at doing is giving the gutter trash some click bait.

    Some great contributions on here regardless of differing opinions
    All I’ll say on the narrative is that we’re not the first and won’t be the last on changing midstream.
    I think we’ve been a little to nice to players that we didn’t need to be.

    Heard that tonight , yet they blow wind up the backside of chronically underperforming Brisbane , Carlton and others .
    Sadly , I agree with what they said , but not some clubs who’ve been abysmal for some time get a pass

    Lyon and Roos were bang on the money - our explanation over the weekend is deeply insulting to our outstanding 2015 and 2016 campaigns. It's galling enough when external people bag our premiership as some 4 week fluke, let alone when we do it ourselves.

    Unfortunately this was always going to happen with what we gave Turtle to say. The only thing we can do is to fix this area off field. I’m not confident that’s going to happen owing to the pattern of own goals. Hopefully we just won’t see them anymore that will show us all we’ve raised our game.

    Hopefully this narrative runs out of steam ASAP.

    Not sure it had a heap of steam. Footy Classified had about 40 seconds on it, Chris Judd shut down Caro pretty quickly by talking some sense about how it was reasonable for the club to expect that it was at least a possibility that this decline could occur. And then they moved on.

    Judd talks a bit too much sense for the Footy Class’ drama queens at times! He’s got them covered by panels.

    Juddy is hands down the best AFL media performer by a mile. Absolute gun.

    Feel I need to point out that Judd is an alt-right Jordan Peterson-rhetoric spouting goon who can't stop making reference to "the great Donald Trump" every chance he gets, but sure.

    Had no idea of his political allegiences, but as a footy media performer he is measured, methodical, polished and reasoned. He is the antithesis of gutter scribes like Caro and Barrett, who revel in heresay, rumour and innuendo.

    Unlike Lloyd who just blurted out unsubstantiated claims that nobody gets along with one another .

    I can't stand Judd, and now I know why. He and Andrew Bogut should get together, they deserve each other.
