He did work in admin at the Yankees! He has a background in sport!

assistant to the travelling secretary, actually. (ha ha)

did you know the secretary to the assistant to the travelling secretary earns more money that the assistant to the travelling secretary himself?

    For the life of me I still cant see why Scwhab was sacked. Neeld is the dud. His pre game speech was pitiful and the allowance of him to spew that rubbish on live tv was a disgrace.

    From what I've heard he got extremely lucky with being the head during a period which had an exceptional coach and player group - in short, any CEO would've been successful during that period. The sun and the moon essentially collided on his watch.

    Dumb luck really.

    Absolutely hopeless people manager with appalling judgement. Got found out badly in his second stint. All was exposed.

    Edit - iPad typos.

    Maybe

    The next CEO will definitely be a success because they will be the AFL's chosen person and the AFL will make sure the AFL is seen to have gotten it right.

    Tend to agree Alf but please be warned you're treading dangerous waters here Son.

    Will take your word for it RB, in saying that you got to have some smarts it don't just fall into out lap.

    Ps good god wasn't that the apex of rugby? Lomu was flying, the Wallabies with larkham, Els, Gregan, The 100kg plus wingers, the Fijian flyers in Super 12's, the Lions here, the World Cup here... It was brilliant and we are a long way from it now.

    No way let Gary Lyon choose the CEO. He chose the coach and look where we are.

    Jim Stynes want Schwab when Bailey was sacked and Gary tallked him out of it.

    Brian Cook would be a good choice as CEO. He played for Melbourne Under 19's.

    Presently he is overseas some should catch up with him and have a chat with him.

    He may be up for a challenge

    They could do the selection using the feats of strength then the airing of the grievences!

    The winner would truly be the right man or woman!

    so you have seen one grab of a speech to players in Neelds time at Melbourne and decided he is a dud.

    have you ever met the guy or spoken to any players to verify your assumption?

    Neeld is the dud. His pre game speech was pitiful ...

    a) that's a matter of opinion

    b) it wasn't the pre-game speech, it was the pre-warm up speech, done nearly 2 hours before the game.

    Ben Buckley, what is he doing now?

    John O'Niell? Probably to small fry for them but you can only aks.

    John O'Neill is Chairman of Echo Entertainment, owners of The Star casino in Sydney. I think he'd be too busy fighting off James Packer at the moment.

    Andrian Anderson? Perfect CEO or not? We must get a proven powerful CEO with strong leadership the only other one for me would be Eugene arocca he seems to have left a fairly strong culture are north! Adrian Anderson would be my pick Demitriou may take a stronger liking to us haha

    This guy worries me.

    I reckon he was sacked by the AFL for naively firing up the tanking debate while AD was away.

    He failed to see the ramifications of following up McLean's comments. Government gambling authorities still haven't announced the result of their match fixing probes. At least 8 Clubs are involved, and many millions of dollars earned by AFL Clubs from Poker machines are in jeopardy.

    I want a CEO with a better understanding of how sport works than a guy who makes errors like that. (especially since so far, we're the only victims of his ineptitude).

    Not the right choice for the club. background in football operation matters so likely to want to be involved in the footy department which is not what we want.

    Also limited experience in the business side of football, we need someone who has strong business experience in marketing and sponsorships.

    I cant see him fitting the bill.

    The last 2 weeks have been the worst in my 31 years as a MFC member.

    The next CEO of the MFC we MUST get right.

    The future of the club we love is very much at stake and we MUST NOT get this WRONG.

    Adrian Anderson would be perfect IMO.

    Who do you think it will/should be?

    LETS GET THIS RIGHT DEES.

    WHY?????

    Can't see supporters copping Anderson. He's the one who went for us and nobody else.

    Isn't Demitriou retiring soon and will be looking for a new job....

    Not a lot of love for my left field suggestion of Tim Holding, understandable though, especially if you vote Liberal. I lived in his electorat and he's been a really good operator there. And no one's even commented on Tony Dodemaide who I reckon would be a good candidate.

    All in all though I reckon Eugen Arocca seems to make the most sense.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
