Just heard on SEN, that ex Essendon CEO Peter Jackson, has been appointed to the interim position of Melbourne's CEO

This has to be good news

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Interim.

[Satan 2,872]

Outsider, no perceived bias, good move

[Maldonboy38 6,405]

Is this the cigarettes man, the man who makes suits or the AFL man?

[Pennant St Dee 13,242]

Was he somethingto do with the Bombers previously?

The one that directed Bad Taste, and Lord of The Rings.

[DeeZee 7,427]

Yeah ex Bombers chief.

[Gorgoroth 12,973]

I like the idea of a interim so we don't rush getting a new CEO, especially one from a successful AFL club.

Would be interesting to see his thoughts on the place

[FC Melbourne 108]

Like it. Was pretty successful at the Don IIRC.

Fresh set of eyes and everyone on notice!

A good choice going by his record IMO

[Tony Tea 2,809]

With any luck he has never met Garry Lyon.

Heard a few whispers that it will be annoced shortly.

Peter Jackson, x Essendon boss is the word

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,816]

Based purely on the information in the Saxton bio, it appears he may not have had any AFL experience before joining the Bombers as CEO. Given he is generally accepted as having been a successful AFL club CEO, reinforces my view that our next permanent CEO doesn't necessarily have to have had AFL experience.

The one that directed Bad Taste, and Lord of The Rings.

...and Meet The Feebles.

Looks like an AFL-assisted decision.

Looks like an AFL-assisted decision.

Why?

[What 18,810]

he should be the permnent CEO, not interim

I hope he stays long term, hes just what we need, a guy with AFL experoience , fresh set of eyes, runs on the board..

and best of all he doesnt have the stench of MFC attached to him at all

[The Big Ticket 94]

Why?

Don't know if you've seen lately...we're a basket case.

Loved this line from Big Footy:

He was a smokey for the job, but he suits us, though he'll need to be a wizard to fix our club.
