A lot of people were critical of the review because BA kept his job.

I was critical of the club for putting us in the position we were in to have a review! You can't have your head coach doing a position coach job and an executive doing a managers job on top of their actual roles........it doesn't work in the corporate world and it certainly can't work in a cut throat business like sport.......the review then proved them (the board/Max) wrong!

Max was trying to run the club on the smell of an oily rag.

I’m not going to scapegoat AFL guy but we did look unfit last year.

We might have had less ball in some games last year but there are far less penalties this year and therefore fatigue is a greater factor. I have much more confidence in our ability to defend for large periods of the game this year.
The refs got a preseason memo to reward teams that play up tempo attractive footy. That has got to help as a lot this year, the way we are playing. hopefully they (us) get the balance right soon and stop trying to overplay our hand every time we get the ball.

Has it ever been confirmed that this is a fact ?
Who needs proof when it fits the narrative. Bernie was actually quoted as saying BA never put his hand up asking for help. The review suggested additional staff/support was required whether it was wanted or not. It appears it was.

Then Bernie should be sacked! Wasn't he a "football guy"? Shouldn't he know? What a cop out to say that the coach didn't put his hand up so we thought it would be cool for him to pull double duty!

You make the top four the year before with a certain structure so then you think it's ok to then downsize your operation after such success?

Regardless of who's "fault" it was and whether someone put their hand up or not, the review identified how f**king stupid the decision was........

What staff did we lose from 17 to 18?

1 assistant and a wrestling coach?

We never had a football manager in 17 either
