Re: Brian Cook interview with Jon Anderson back in 2019:

Jon Anderson: When you retire, you will have spent an AFL-VFL record of 30 years as a CEO? What are you proudest of?

Brian Cook: The cultural change at Geelong is at the top of my list because without it nothing else could have happened. We have one of the best around. The AFLPA do their cultural survey each year and we’ve rated one or two for the last five or six years along with clubs like Sydney and Hawthorn.
To those who think culture isn't critical for success... There you have it! The missing and key ingredient “culture “. Could be a Red Sea moment for the club!

I stopped listening to SEN years ago.

We all know Leon has an axe to grind and Hutchy is just an idiot

Hutchy is a lot of things but an idiot he is not.

This will be his mantra by the time he finishes , such a brilliant appointment

He will change the unchanged or they will be terminated from the club …

Let's hope he does, but our club has been down this road before and did the whole of club approach and yet still ended up where we are at.

Its not solely about what happens whilst he's here its what happens once he's gone and if he's only here for a short time then it has to take.

‘The man of the hour’ - Mr Cook again.

Blue Skies ahead.

Hutchy is a lot of things but an idiot he is not.

Agree with all that

For a moment let’s let go of the past, loosen our grip of fear......and let things unfold

We wanted change and we’ve got it

Can someone remind me what was Cook's involvement in relation to the whole Dank stink at Geelong?
What did he know, what was his role, what did he do..

Not trying to cast mud, just trying to understand how he approached the situation. The fact that Goodwin is now coaching for a grand final has got me thinking about all this stuff again

You're a ripper london.

Posting from the golf course this morning? Its only10 degrees in Melbourne. Of course you are. Boom Boom.

Geelong supporter I know (who has Carlton supporting relatives) says Cook is the guy he didn't want to lose. He was hoping for Cook to stay on as a consultant.

Deep down, I think Cook knew once he left Geelong, he had to go to allow Hocking space to do his thing.

Needs to manage the relationship between the Board and the Football Department, I don't think this was in Liddle's repertoire. I'm confident Cook can do it.

This is a key appointment. Really.

Dank only got found out after Carlton put the spot light on the drug cheatin Effendope*, when our ears pricked up after they literally violently smashed up our guys only 4 games after we eliminated them by nearly 100 points in the Elimination final.

I doubt anyone knew what Danks and the other bloke, the muscle and fighting coach whose escapes me for now, Rob something??? Good name for a guy who robs integrity.

Agree with all that
