Re: CEO message to members and fans
Caro's problem is that she has barely driven across Footscray Rd in her entire life - the west of Melbourne is completely foreign territory to her.
She also 'specialises' in the political side of footy, which to 99% of us is as boring as batshit. It is also a side of the footy industry that thrives on innuendo, shades of grey and mistruths masquerading as gospel in order to add mayo to the most tenuous of stories in order to engender even a modicum of interest in the general public.
Re: CEO message to members and fans
I find it amazing that Caro or Barrett never have any good stories to tell, Always negative and always the worst outcome will happen.

Why is it surprising? Would a story by Caro of "AFL Footy Ops Manager in a committed monogamous relationship" sell papers? Much better to write a story along the lines of "AFL Footy Ops Manager rooting around for a few weeks last year so let's whip this story up into a frenzy and to hell with the impact on innocent people's lives"

Or. Stick with me. Ignore them, their columns, radio spots and the shows their on.

When are the likes of Carro and Grub Barrett going to be held accountable for just bare faced lies ?
Sadly now you have to swim through the steaming pile of poo which is the media coverage to get a decent story .
Litigation. One day shortly some club will come out swinging.
Re: CEO message to members and fans
To some people PG will come across as hard to work with, maybe even consider him too tough on them. I can tell you, Peter is hard working and demands high standards, and if you cant meet those high standards, then maybe you need to find another job.
At all times he has the best of intentions and will ultimately achieve his goal. Mrs BAD worked with Peter for about 10 years and found him extremely professional in all aspects and a pleasure to work with.
The only whingers you hear about are the ones that just don't work out, and maybe they need to take a good hard look at themselves. Maybe they are the problem. As always there are two sides to every story. Obviously Caro has only spoken to the disgruntled.

Have always thought this about her. Overall I reckon she is good but she gets stuck on things that do not matter. For example, in 2010 I think, she wrote an article stating she was astonished the Bullies were doing well considering a few of the players wives had a falling-out over a childcare centre a number of the players were involved with. She missed the point totally and had no understanding of how a footy club operates.

The astonishing thing was really that Cooney & Lake had this great idea and convinced Eagleton to join as a 1/3 partner. That was the story. Surely it's a life rule, that if Cooney & Lake agree that something is good, it's really, really not.

I would be surprised if she has spoken to anyone, research isn't in her dictionary obviously from last nights rant.
Re: CEO message to members and fans
Great letter Gary. The people who are running our club are the ones we need to hear from not media gossip. Our club is in very good hands and financially we have been the strongest we ever have been.
Re: CEO message to members and fans
Caro doing her usual schtick tonight.
"I wasn't criticising Peter Gordon"
"I think the club is overreacting"
And of course no context given to Kent's resignation.
She's such a piece of work.
Re: CEO message to members and fans
Would we consider Simon Lethlean?

I can see a benefit given Lethlean's friendship with Gil and no doubt he would bring strong business acumen but not sure on the timing for us. He was effectively forced out of his senior position with the AFL on grounds of unacceptable behaviour and now we're putting many on our playing group in the crosshairs for bringing an unacceptable attitude, level of preparation and for some, unacceptable behaviour.
Just feels a conflicting message in there given the timing of where we're at.

Perfect synopsis.

Most definitely and I hope we are.
However Hawthorn are also now in the market for a CEO after sacking their one within 5 months of appointing her.
