Credit where due

Whether you like it or not, whether you agree with the process or not, you have to agree that the club has been absolutely professional with not a leak, or whisper coming from any journo ,commentator etc re the coach. From a club that often leaks like a sieve when there’s a decision to be made , kudos to the club.
I don’t even know

What about this?

Well time is up - ??

Tom Browne said he expects Ratten will be announced Friday given there's a board meeting tomorrow night.

[DJ Higgins]

It is close to our b&f night so maybe they wait a week?

[Leo.J]

What about this?

I’d say that’s an educated guess...as it’s public knowledge that we have a board meeting this week.

[Groovy Guru]

What about this?

48 hours is past ..... so where is the announcement.

Even if it is Ratten, it was still a guess.

tonestar - it’s obvious you are the chief bootstudder as you’ve never been fired and clearly not one of our coaches.

Don’t bootstudders know all the goss?

Is Ross Lyon in the mix?

[The Fireman]

maybe they just don't know who it is yet.

[freely]

If they don't know who it is, how can they know that they're going to know by next wednesday?

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Does Roughie know? Hill? Roo?

[Toy Saint]

Perhaps the club is waiting for Collingwoods season to finish.

You seem like a great guy... but you’d be happy with the club if they reappointed Scott Watters

Don’t quite know what that’s got to do with the topic. My point is kudos for the club keeping this very much in house. And like everyone I hope they pick the right person. And we won’t know that for 2 or 3 years.
And I’m sure you’re a nice person too. FQF

Any trade whispers T74?

I heard a Mat Finnis quote on SEN radio today, stating how important and meticulous "our process" has been to make certain that the best available coach is chosen.

My question to Finnis is this - what happened with your process (which you were a party to), when Richardson was chosen ??

I am afraid that the only person with "credentials" on our appointment team, is the President (Andrew Bassat). Let's pray that he has imposed his professionalism on this selection.

[The Barometer]

Great call out Tony, was thinking the same today. Haven’t heard anything on targets, shortlists, interviews. Club playing like a proper professional organisation would with a key appointment.

They didn’t have a process for Cho. Because they punted Watters so late, they literally approached him to apply as he was the 2nd place finisher in the Watters process.

And we got what we got.

Oh s*** ! Then "the process" for Watters and runner-up Richardson was a complete disaster. What does that say about Finnis and his mates this time around??

Debacle that Richo got the job really. Appoint the guy who came second to a guy we had to sack. If I our “process” identified Watters perhaps we should have gone for whoever they ruled out first!! Hope finnis has a better approach this time!

NO NO NO!

Hinkley was neck and neck with Watters for coach when Lyon walked out, it was Richo who was a distant third.
