Trigg is resigning from Carlton as CEO. No huge surprise given there have been rumours of this for awhile now.

After 3 years and 6 months of the job he still hasn't moved from Adelaide so he was never going to stick around long term while flying to Melbourne for work every week. He'll stay in the position until a replacement is found so it is an amicable departure and nothing really bad.

The club said we'll be working with a recruiter to find a replacement but we all know Lethlean is going to go right into the position...

There is. It is a fundamentally different organisation to the one which incurred the fines of governance and got its players banned. The administration of the club has been completely turned over; hangers on, 'old boys' and 'good Essendon lads' have been kicked out of cushy jobs and cashed up coterie members no longer have any influence over club decisions. Several reviews have been through every position, policy and process from the board to the boot studder with a fine tooth comb to ensure they are all as close to best practice as possible. It's just a shame it took the drugs scandal to be the catalyst for all this.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
Yeah I’d like to think/hope that the upside of the whole drugs thing is the fact that we had to rectify the putrid culture of the club. From what I’m aware they have put some great things in place for player wellbeing. As GPD said, it’s a shame it took what it took to get that done.

I would be really happy with Saad making it down to us. Smith would be good but apparently there are those injury concerns. It’s Stringer still that I’m worried about. Assuming his ex is as good friends with so many families at Essendon then having him come in surely isn’t great for culture or even for his own wellbeing. I assume he can’t be that fussed if it’s not enough to turn him off us, but still. Not sure how we get Stringer, Saad and Smith in the same trade period. Might have to involve future picks, other clubs and names like Langford, Laverde, Myers, Francis, Bags, Howlett, Colyer, Redman, JMerrett etc all being looked at. Surely we don’t get all 3 of them.

One of the many women Boak cheated on his on again, off again girlfriend with was Hartlett's partner, and whatever way the club chose to handle it caused Hartlett to want to walk 1 year into a 4 year deal, and Port to want to trade him, but nobody wanted him at the listed salary so it hung in the air embarrassingly all trade week, and nothing happened.
