But him and Fitzy are best buds.

Max Donnelly and Denis Fitzgerald are friends ? I we need that fact checked.

Sharpy is a hero. He was the one who knew we needed to take a risk to dig ourselves out of the salary cap hole we were in. He knew we needed to spend money outside the cap to compete with the big clubs. He showed the leadership to get it done (ffs).

When a rival faction tried to tank the club so they could take over he got the state government involved, ensuring the factions would be duck shoved to the shithouse.

This might wind up a few merkins, but there is actually truth to it. Combined with Mr Magoo incompetence.

Was it incompetence? Getting shit done, whether above board or below, requires trusting people, and making a record of decisions made. Just because you're breaking the rules doesn't mean you can expect merkins to remember every detail. The meetings needed to be recorded.

There's always a risk of getting caught, no matter how good you are. If it happens it doesn't necessarily mean you were incompetent. It means you took a risk and your number was up.

Obviously not all risks are equal, and different risk-takers manage risk differently. But you as an observer has no idea of the reality of that risk either before or after the fact.

Yes but the evidence that was brazingly left behind by Sharp et al was Homer Simpson dumb.

Only because there was a whistleblower. And given a whistleblower anything else was just details. Do you think things would've been any different if the CEO had handed over written notes instead?
