AFL next CEO

[ReLoad]

Brickman for President!

I?ll only entertain the idea if there?s a quorum on the board to bring back the original Olympic donuts Van at Footscray station.

You have my vote

100% agree. It is easy to manage a business when you have a monopoly. Bunnings also benefited from a super strong construction cycle underpinned by record levels of immigration and friendly Government policy. We basically built houses at record levels for year after year. Also, increasing house prices and low interest rates resulted in many people using the equity in their house to do renovations. Also, he didn't even run the Bunnings business (John Gilham did in his time). At the Wesfarmers exec and board levels they are essentially allocators of capital. However people like Goyder operate above the line. When things go well they look in the mirror, when things go bad they look out the window. Always someone to blame. Nothing ever sticks.

Hubris does most people in after successful runs like that. Success in one area doesn't mean you will have success in another.

Goyder's stint at the AFL and Qantas have both been shambolic. I don't think in my time I have seen a company and brand lose as much goodwill as Qantas has under Goyder's watch as Chairman.

I must say i do like that line. Hope i remember it for future use.
Maybe we should have a thread 'Classic lines...'

This is a tribute! Great work.

Wow that's good. I honestly thought Tenacious D referred to a rapper.

Back to future president thread.

It's alright everybody. Leigh Matthews has been approached to fill the 'ex player' position on the Commission, providing a thoroughly modern and nuanced look at the state of the game.

Mick Malthouse or Kevin Sheedy should get a run too.

Wow. Matthews is closer to being an ex-person than an ex-player.

On the plus side he's an expert in what it takes to ruin someone's brain through violent acts on a football field.

A courageous decision. Long live the Boys Club.

He's literally the whitest person I've ever seen!

I never knew what he looked like, but if you asked me to identikit describe white AFL boys club executive that'd be it!

What a long drawn out fiasco this process has been. I thought Dillon was the best candidate from the jump but now takes on the role knowing that in the eyes of the chairman he was at best the 3rd choice.
A couple of weeks ago he quietly resigned from a number of other footy community roles he had so I guess he was aware he was likely to land the job.

So KWW is happy to stay in her current position despite trying to leave the club for bigger and better personal things?

It's one of the most prestigious jobs you can have and it's a feather in her cap to not only get identified as a top candidate, asked to throw her hat into the ring but then almost get the role. I can't see that being a problem for her as our President and I'm sure it's not an issue for Brendan Gale and Richmond.
