What are Dan's qualifications for conducting the review?
He's got very good mates at the RFC.
The club that keeps giving.

Id be interested in peoples thoughts as to how the next 2-5 years pan out following the review. Consider this:-

Most likely coach will keep his job, recruiters may or may not, etc etc. Basically its a clean out without cleaning out those with the power at the club.
Irrespective of who comes in, the directive will be more of the same. No rebuild, just topping up including possibly more moneyballers.
We probably wont land a big fish. Even if we do, it wont make a difference (see collingwood).
We find ourselves middling on the ladder.
Deledio retires. Cotchin, Rance, Riewoldt and Edwards  hit 30.

What would it take for the club to properly rebuild and avoid this status quo? Do we need an atrocious year in 2017 to force their hand?

Should we hope for an attrocious year?

I think our fortunes could change quite quickly IF we are able to attract good quality free agents. We also needs to trade aggressively and cleverly.

We still have a core of good quality players we can build a side around.

Our problem will be getting these guys to come over as we seem to be on the nose so to speak.

Without quality FAs I can't see us challenging for a long long time. It will make no difference how atrocious we are IMHO. Look at sides like Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn. They have not been atrocious for a long time and yet they are constantly challenging.

The more and more I think about it, the less and less important it is to bottom out.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
