Only one thing left to do, and that's sack Riccutio.

Myself and a coach stood up one session and demanded we tell each other what happened and the CEO or Football Manager (I cannot recall who exactly who) stood up and said we were unable to because the club had signed confidentiality agreements on everyone’s behalf.

I said, "I did not sign a damn thing".


This is the start of litigation, one way or another.

As individuals, as much as I may have disliked them in their playing days as humans, as men, I couldn't feel anymore empathy for them if I tried. I can't imagine the distress this has caused them.

As an organisation, my thoughts wouldn't be hard to read.

Good on JJ for sharing his thoughts here.
Can’t have been easy for him.

Utterly ridiculous that Roo still has a job.

Agreed
He is the last person in charge to go.

If he was footy director he should fall on his sword.

I feel a little uneasy after reading that.

The killer 'we have signed confidentiality agreements on your behalf.' Who the **** thought that would be a good idea that is legally watertight!

Jenkins should have blown the lid of this saga there and then!

Roo has no option but to vacate is position on the board now. He might not have known all the details but he oversaw the footy department as a board member.

Let's say you want to go on a juice cleanse weekend in the Barossa, would it be $2000, $3000?

How much do you think this thing cost? Every director must have known, they would have to sign off on such a spend.

Interesting choice of words by JJ about the use of his childhood memories. "It is my belief this promise was broken". It either was or it wasn't broken - can't be any middle ground surely. Maybe he is worried about CM coming after him.

That camp program sounds like something an undergraduate at Uni knocked out one day at the tavern. Something I might have attempted back in the day.
Unbelievable Pyke and Burton thought it worthy of use, infantile stuff. The breach of trust is the most egregious part of it though, as well as no one in the Crows apparently standing up for the affected players.
From "dumb to disgraceful" as described by Jenkins sounds apt.

Agreed, anyone speaking now must have had legal advice and statements will be worded carefully.

Pretty amazing stuff to listen to. The calls to Josh on SEN are understanding and sympathetic mixed with anger at what happened.

Wonder what the calls to Fiveaa and SEN Adelaide will be like after 4, and how the hosts of these shows will treat it.

I guess it’s a terminology thing between being ‘reassured’ which he uses and ‘promised’ which gets a run.
