Unfortunately not only was he wrong but we are in fact a bottom 4 club. For a President to be so far off the mark he now has no option but to resign. In actual fact the whole board needs to fall on their own sword. Their ineptitude has brought the whole club to their knees. If they don’t resign along with all the coaching staff and recruiting staff then GT must come in and throw them out. They all thought they could buck the system by trading and bringing in ready made players. A short cut so to speak. All they have done is set the club back another 10 years. They have destroyed MY club and all of them need to be held accountable.

The only trade off is we would be called Tasmania Saints. I can live with that. The positives far outweigh the negatives. We would become one of the biggest clubs in the league.

Re: Andrew Bassat
I don't agree that the board needs to get torched.
That's Agent Orange-type defoliation.
The Football Dept needs a bloody independent review, from a group totally unconnected to the club, and with no AFL influence.
And kick out Rath, Roughy, McGlynn.
There also needs to be a commitment to dropping guys who won't follow team rules and are out of form

Re: Andrew Bassat
CEO transition handled smoothly, no radical new ideas person to upset status quo . Good. And
We already have a model:
renew failing coach;
bring in a seasoned campaigner as Coach B. No implied threat Brett;
Replace current assistants bar Cory Enright ;
Buy a big name player;
Create a new slogan, say, " it's always darkest before dawn".
Wilkie co-captain and media face;
Clear out under performing mercenaries, recruit from the draft -they are not yet cynical and dare to dream about playing finals.
That will keep us in our boxes for a couple more years.
And it goes without saying, Rath goes with the t shirt gift that reads "lies, damn lies and statistics."
Or we could just appoint Cory coach now, save time and money.

Re: Andrew Bassat
So what is the main problem with David Rath, other than people don't really understand his role and the property steward said Rath has too much influence.

Re: If Eddie's proposal is ratified by the AFL then I think.....
Any name change has to get at least 75% of members to vote yes for it to happen thats in the constitution of the club so they can play in Tassie all they like but its going to be as the St Kilda Football clubSunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sun 19 Jun 2022 5:42pm .....we should take it.

His plan for Tassie would make us into a super power. Unfortunately we cannot see this.

Re: Eddie is a man of vision and superior intellect
Tasmania is spilt into 2 camps- 2 separate regions.
There's internal rivalry.
Replanting any team into that state will upset both factions, as it's an obvious insult to them.
GWS was created in a vacuum of Aussie Rules, the local rugby folk got a bit miffed but figured GWS won't damage their brand.
Tassie folk are proudly anti-mainland and parochial.
Giving them a failing team is a slap in the face for them, as it says 'you're not good enough to deserve your own team, we'll give you a reject'.

Re: Eddie is a man of vision and superior intellect
Born in Melbourne.
Lived there till age of 34.
Moved to Perth. Been in Sleepy Hollow for several years. A long time.
My knowledge of Tassie is based on folks who had lived there for a while.
Wikipedia reckons the North/South rivalry is overstated and not really evident these days.
There's a funny entry about 'The Flannel Curtain' or 'Latte Line' , not about Tassie, but Hobart.
Southern Hobart is supposed to be all toffs, while northern suburbs are wife-beaters (tank tops) and flannel shirts
