With all the focus on Mick, Swanny and Sticks, this little fella somehow continually slips under the radar. Personally, I'd settle for him gone long before any of the others. He's been around too long, poster boy for the boys club, and has been a part of so much mediocrity over so many years. Sticks said OTC tonight that Gleeson is the Football Director on the Board, so I'd like to think he should take a fair whack of responsibility for so many years of mediocrity on field. Presumably recruiting sits under his portfolio also. Time to go into hibernation, Bear. |

Yes and no, in that order. How's Daisy travelling? So if he makes 50 bad decisions and 1 maybe correct one, that's ok? |

Yes and no, in that order. How's Daisy travelling? So if he makes 50 bad decisions and 1 maybe correct one, that's ok? name the 50 bad decisions. what decisions do you think directors make anyway??? Swann is the main man for decision making. Directors do just that - provide a direction philosophy for the club to take. Its like saying AD decided to set up two near teams in Queensland and NSW. These are big picture decisions taken at board level. AS's job is to oversee these operations - he can appoint people, allocate funding to different areas etc.. He cant for example decide to set up a team in the NT or in Tasmania. Getting daisy or not signing up Betts wouldn't be a decision for Gleeson. that's footy department, Swann etc... A senior coach like ratten having his contract terminated would need board approval for sure. Robert Wiley coming to the club as director of coaching and development would be a Mick appointment - like a package. Directors wouldn't need to approve that - there is a budget for assistant coaches and staff positions - Swann needs to oversee the budget. Its an interesting demarcation between management and direction |

Surely the buck stops further up the chain? Gleeson may not make the decisions, but if he doesn't have power to act when he continually sees bad ones being made, what is his role? |

What about Daisy? that was a mathieson pratt decision to chase a well credentiaal coach.. options were roos and malthouse why did you say that was gleeson?? guessing? he is in charge of footy matters that nobody else wants to get involved in... because too boring... like the 150 team etc |

When people wanna know why these guys are on the bloated board... theyre there for balance of power and to shore up the board. if you had 6 and 2 goup for election every year... you can go in with a ticket of 2 .. win an election and u have a third.. the next year you can bring in another two and wrestle power away ... Gleeson is another useful idiot... nothing more ... nothing less |

Gleeson needs to go. Never been a fan and is as much to blame for our on field issues as anyone else. As the Board member in charge of football matters he has been a disaster. |

I think there needs to be a clean out. I would heap blame on the board as a whole though rather than individual members. |
