It would be interesting if he fits in. Some of the elite around the club might look down on him for being the CEO of a club in plebian football code.

We get him, we get serious.

there are elite around the club?

they must be masters of disguise

Although he has had success at the Storm, I know him from an earlier incarnation, and the guy is a slippery character. I would be very careful of him.

Wow. After Waldren i would have thought Storm would have been squeaky clean.

Not doubting your word, can you elaborate at all?

I think the elite of the club haven't helped us much of late. Gauci may well fit the bill particularly in terms of his pulling power.

ill go one step further and say its the "elite" of the club that have put us where we are today. a club can only be as strong as its membership and the mfc membership with the power have failed dismally. the outdated attitudes and philosophies toward a professional sporting club have really produced todays results. as many posters keep repeating, results and success/failure are driven from the top down. MFCs "top" are a pretty ordinary group of thinkers. Amateur hour and it always will be. coaches , players come and go - the one constant is the supporter base and as a whole the MFC supporter base doesnt know its arse from its elbow.

The elbow is where the leather patch on the tweed jacket goes. Right? Somewhere south of the cravat?

I agree.... Just like other clubs..... Our culture is driven but our supporters..... Our culture sucks...... We are a joke!

Some here think how many rebuilds/five year plans can one club have...... Hows about we actually see out a five year plan, for the full five years....

With the storm being sold today and the management restructure that has followed, Ron Gauci has been flicked as CEO in favour of one of the new owners merry men.

I reckon he would be a really good appointment if Peter Jackson does not continue after his 6 month contract. He went to the storm post the kaka hitting the fan and from what I see the club is running like a well oiled machine.

No!

the club has been driven mainly by conservatives from the MCC Northern Stand... all too conservative for AFL, mostly,,,,,, better Suit-ed to cricket.

...... introverted thinking & attitudes, have created a Pacifistic Environment, which the young players come into contact with on a regular basis, & soon

they are unwittingly under its spell.

We end up with choir boys & businessmen, but No Warriors.

..... we need administrators with Aggression & Vision,,,,, Entrepreneurs, who'll take chance to make the opportunities such as the likes of the Olympic Swimming Centre happen..... and to drive a culture of Passion & of Inclusiveness that Jimma would have been Proud of.

.... the sooner we build a Training/Office-Social Hub, the quicker we can escape the Conservativeness thats strangled this AFL footy club.

I wouldn't be surprised if PJ stayed on as our CEO. He states that at the moment the greatest challenge in the AFL is the MFC. Then he said I love a challenge. Lets just hope he falls in love with the place, has all the power again. There would be a golden handshake from Andy if he did turn us around!!.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
