Re: Sharp Axes

Can anyone decipher what Barrett is on about in the last sentence?

IF ...
you want a one-line summary on what is happening with the Western Bulldogs' football department review ...

THEN ...
the club, belatedly, is attempting to empower people to challenge the coach. The non-footy part of operations should then try the same approach with the same person.

I'm guessing he's saying the exec need to challenge Bevo?

He's implying Bevo is having an undue influence in non-footy areas of the club and people are 'afraid' to question him.

My guess is that he's referring to Baines.

What non-footy areas would Bevo be influencing? Is he deciding whether we get a scarf or a cap or a voucher in our member packs?

Maybe he's getting involved in selecting who from the crowd runs Race the Rocket each week?

The man must be stopped.

What's James Sherry doing these days?

Re: Sharp Axes

How about we hire a bad cop . Bevo can be the loving coach and good cop then we get in say a John Northey type bad cop who will give a hell of a spray when needed.

Re: Sharp Axes

Do we beleive anything that Barrett has to say about Bevo? He is completely compromised due to their infamous run it at the Crown Casino toilets and his personal hatred of Bevo runs very, very deep. Barrett is not in a neautral position on anything to do with Bevo.

I just dismiss anything he says.

He's taken over from Danny doing the banner.

If that's true I'm on the sack Bevo bandwagon, the banners these days are deplorable!

I think even BAD would join the bandwagon if it's true.

Out of interest AP, what outside criticism do you accept of the club?

[Critter]

Re: Sharp Axes

Maybe he's suggesting that the CEO and board hold the coach more directly to account for on-field success. The same as David Koch holds Ken Hinkley accountable and as Campbell Rose tried on Rodney Eade. Though the latter didn't end that well.

It is a legitmate and good question.

I don't like the sensationalist side of what Footy Classified and the SEN characthers bring (Caro, Cornes, Barrett etc.). It is always important to understand what the jouranlists intent is and what is driving their perspective. With a fair degree of confidence you would have to say in particular Cornes and Barrett (and to a lesser dergree Caro) have made their attacks on the club incredibily personal due to their run ins with Bevo, therefore I think their opinion carries less weight as it is compromised.

I do think that some of the recent commentary from Robbo and Rohan to name a couple has been more balanaced and asked some legitimate questions.

What does that mean?

My Philosophy in life is don't believe anything you read and only half of what people tell you.
