If there is a big clean out happening does that mean Buckley is on his way.

Whenever Adelaide take the mantle for Australias most embarrassing sporting franchise Esssendon scream.....hold my beer.

Those two clubs are in a league of their own.

I vote Jim for Essendon board of directors.

Mainly as I want to see the term 'pea heart' in an official press release.

Madden and Brasher both have resigned from the board immediately.
Both were from the faction that lost and obviously don’t want to pull in the direction required.
Finance director Peter Allen will step down after the AGM in December, no doubt he is off to Rio ;)

Can't go too hard in one clean sweep, need to break it up gradually.

Nah, it’s all good. We deserve all the barbs thrown our way. The club has been mismanaged for far too long
