    Walsh sacks coaches, and the review being led by a sacked coach (Noble) just makes this whole scenario seem ridiculous.

    Yze would have to be close to getting this gig, surely.
    Isn't there just a small question mark if any of the Hawthorn stain lands on Yze?
    He must have been runner up with at least two other clubs now.

    Walsh reviewed North and Noble was out, and then Noble reviewed Saints and Walsh in? What is going on

    Ratten may have flaws as a coach, but I've generally thought he maximises his playing groups and seems like quite a good coach, but hes only had moderate groups

    At the Blues he got the best footy out of Yarran, Garlett, Robinson etc, even Fev - he had those teams as competitive as they've been since

    At the Saints its been the playing list and recruiting. Id be asking:
    Who thought Hanneberry was a good idea on that money?
    Who thought Hill was a good idea on that money?

    And then possibly:
    Who thought Jones was a good idea on that money?
    Who thought Crouch was a good idea on that money?

    Who is taking our picks? and what are we doing developmentally?

    Coffield, Clark, McKenzie and others havent perhaps come on the way they might have hoped.

    Any time you forget how much of a ridiculous boys club football bureaucracy is come back to this statement.

    Hird-esque. Although at least Lyon got results.

    No doubt. At least a phone call.

    Pretty sure it is an internal review. The President mentioned it in her speech at B&F

    They'll do more than that.

    He could easily be offered a 5 year deal to coach them and I don't think we could match it.

    Saints really aren't too dissimilar to Essendon.

    As much as we hear about how much of a professional environment the AFL has become, it's evident there's still a boys club mentality because some of the decision making (and the processes PUT into place to make these decisions) is diabolical.

    Lethers just got promoted to CEO after being the architect of their failed trade and list management strategy the last few years as Head of Footy Dept, particularly with the disastrous pursuit of Hannebury and Hill.

    He keeps failing up while the coach gets it in the neck.

    Was it Lethlean? Think he has a bit to answer for. Former AFL golden boy.
