    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Should be an exciting keeping the bandwagon on track then organising the premiership parade.

    Looks like a excellent appointment, welcome to the club David.
    Well done to the club on getting David signed and not rushing into getting just anybody to fill the role.
    Should have some good contacts to increase our sponsors as well.

    Eight formal interviews..sounds like it was a thorough process. At least David will now be working for an organization with quality work practices. Welcome.

    Re: Welcome to the club David Stevenson

    Impressive resume and after watching him on the website it would have been hard to find a better candidate.
    It will be interesting to see if he stays long enough to get some meaningful changes implemented. I've seen too many similar people come into positions and just build their resume and they're gone in a year or two.

    On a side note, I wonder what motivates someone like him who has had a long list of promotions within a global organisation to come to a club like ours? If it's to embrace the challenge of turning a struggling club into power then he is coming to the right place.

    Seems a great appointment at first look.

    Wish him all the best and hope he's a significant player in our off-field improvement.

    Yep.
    You know, it's funny. Just looking at American Football and there are regularly big, big turnarounds in clubs' fortunes. 25 years ago, the Oakland Raiders were the powerhouse of the NFL. Today they're a laughing stock. Five years ago, the Seattle Seahawks were just about the worst franchise, historically, in the NFL. They're now the "It" team. 15 years ago, New England were amongst the worst historical teams in the NFL. They're now the second most valuable behind the Dallas Cowboys and the most respected of all.

    Point is, these "franchises" can and do get turned around by a combination of good management, hard work and a bit of luck. Stevenson would've seen this first hand and perhaps he's studied a bit of what it takes. He'd have seen the satisfaction of several management teams who've achieved it and no doubt realises that winning a championship with a professional sporting organisation is probably the biggest rush in business. Perhaps he's keen to give it a go in the sport he knows pretty well.

    I obviously wish him all the best!

    AFL in this country is a high profile commodity. If he can turn us into a powerhouse it would look very good on the CV.

    I say go for it Dave.
