We clearly rated the list 12 months ago and brought in experienced players to top it off but we didn't get the development from the more marginal players and competition for spots wasn't as strong as expected.

At a guess it seems we are going to cut a lot of the marginal players which I must admit I am pleasantly surprised about.

So was the "review" another internal one?

Correct. That was confirmed after the West Coast game. It started during they bye period.

You don't need an external person to review one persons role.

For me, an external review would be to look at the footy department structure including reporting lines, roles and responsibilities etc.

The positions can then be filled according to the review.

One of the purposes of an external review is that everyone can speak openly without fear of blowback. It very much cab be beneficial for individual roles and how internal people actually view that person.

Re: Sharp Axes

I am happy for whatever review the club wants to do.

BUT.

The blow-back if we do what is seen/perceived as a purely internal review and start season 2024 poorly is going to be something else. An external review would - at the very least - buy some time.

It does seem every year there is a 'target' the media 'go for' from the start of the year...I suspect next year it is going to be us. Unless Collingwood choke in the finals again. If that happens, it will be them.

Media don't care about Brisbane, NSW and QLD teams get a free pass.

They'll get a home prelim this year.
Unfortunately for them, the GF is played at the MCG

Is the MCG really a hoodoo for them? Personally I think it is now a non issue.

They beat Melbourne in a knock out final last year and should have beaten them there this year.

Re: Sharp Axes

I’d rather smug Dees win again, even the Blues (shudder) than having barbie Ken receive a premiership medal.

Hoping Pies win it as they are a joy to watch and I like their coach and a lot of their players.

Still bitter? Yep.

I had to think about who you meant for a minute there. Ken Hinkley is no barbie and we've got no bitterness towards the power.

Then it clicked.

Nah, I'm on the Lions from here. Heading there Sat night.

Also happy with anyone except Dees.
