Well, Jeff Kennett is flapping his gums once again, and is displaying his carefully convenient memory – especially when it comes to the defection of former Hawthorn CEO Ian Robson to Essendon.

In today’s media, Kennett states that:
Ian came to me at the beginning of the year last year and said that he and his wife had decided they’d like to renew their contract at Hawthorn, but if the top job in the AFL or Cricket Australia came up, he’d like to pursue it with my support.
Yet today, with the Hawks reeling with only a single win so far for the season, he has a slightly different “memory” in effect!

Ian has completed five years at Hawthorn and had indicated at the beginning of the year that he was looking at other employment opportunities. So that this decision is not unexpected.
So what is it Jeff – did he tell you he wanted to stay at Hawthorn, or that he didn’t want to stay at Hawthorn? He certainly didn’t end up at the AFL or Cricket Australia! You even claimed today that you weren’t going to renew his contract anyway.
So what’s the problem?
Sounds to me like Jeff is back to his political roots – the headlines are bad – (bad performance by the Hawks) – so lets change the subject?
Footy fans are not that stupid Jeff!
