Geoff Walsh resigning

[dee-luded 2,959]

Strange time to up & leave, would have to think he'll pop up at another club after his 3 months notice to Collingwood is up.

....alls not well,,, 'I smell', in those darkened Woods...

[Sir Why You Little 36,981]

Certainly worth a phone call which would not suprise me if it had not already been done.

Have a good holiday Geoff. Rest up.

I smell he has a better offer elsewhere.

Of course I would love your thoughts to be fact!

I know 2 Board members from different club who have said that the only Footy bosses worth their salt (compared to the corporate world) are Brian Cook and I think Nisbett from WCE. Having said that, if you can be at Collingwood for so long, you must have some good things going on.

that maybe, OD, but we have the backing & persuasion of the 'knights of the round table'... so you never Know your luck in a big City?

... did you ever consider he may be getting (Sic) of stripes?

You could look at it from a different direction and say most people could be succesful at the Pies.

Good Player List, Rolling in money and will be into the next millinium, good management around you, supporter base will take whatever you serve up.

I reckon I could make a reasonable fist of it at Collingwood.

Seems to be a lot of confusion on here about his role. He was not a Board member, he was not the CEO which is what Cook and Nisbett are. He is the guy who is the head of the Footy Dept. This is the position PJ has said he is creating and is actively looking for someone to fill. This is the position that Mahoney is fulfilling on an interim basis at the moment and has to apply for along with everyone else. This is the position that will report to PJ and will replace the 4 people who were reporting to Schwabb.

My guess he has a job to go to and told Eddie who said ok, get stuffed I'm making you work out your 3mth gardening duty. This is almost the most important position PJ has been looking to fill, he would have worked with Walsh at Nth. Connect the dots!

UPDATE: Apparently he's just been interviewed on SEN and has categorically stated he hasn't spoken to anyone else. So who knows what's going on. You usually only leave a job like this in the middle of the job ie the season, if you have another job or have a falling out with your employer and you get the flick or resign.

Agree with most of your post but don't remember PJ being at North.

Something smelly going on at the Pies:

Dale Thomas

Pendlebury

Jolly

Cloke

Walsh

Eddie

Harry O

All had things to say out of school in recent times. Not a happy camp.....

Bit of case of whatever they say making news as well.

Harry O and Eddie are always in the news, it's just this time they made a bigger splash.

Not convinced the other 4 players said anything too out of line either. And you can add Dane Swan to the list.

Buckley is revamping the club to do things his way. He would've learnt that under Mick and with his natural confidence/arrogance it's not a surprise either. It's just a question if it will work.

Well you're talking about CEOs there, and Geoff Walsh is not one of those.

However, Peter Jackson is.

[beelzebub 23,313]

channel nine news fanning the rumour fire suggesting we';re front runners for him.

Am sure Melbourne will be associated with everyone from the boot studder up from here on in til all posts are filled.

Fun and games !!

In addition to that, Cook is not the messiah he is beaten up to be.

He's just had to fire the Cats GM of commercial ops after they have performed poorly financially this season, and he is under some scrutiny from the board.

A very capable CEO, but hardly infallible.

No one is infallible 'Mach', but his record is 2nd to none. At least he has taken quick action to change things up.

yes but does he have a manager or other, looking after his affairs of state.

paper talk is only worth the old friday fish wrappers, but these days its to throw out the seefood leftovers into the bin.

[demoniac 1,330]

But this time we have a skilled guy doing the looking.

Can you name the only AFL Senior Coach Peter Jackson has appointed?

Hopefully he has learnt from the mistakes at Essendon in his tenure as CEO that saw them decline into mediocrity.

[whatwhat say what 22,699]

we'd have to be in the box set.

hawks aren't looking for someone to fill this role - they poached fantasia from the bulldogs to service this exact role, unfortunately he's been very ill since jumping from dogs to hawks.

so these clubs are looking for the (equivalent of) gmfo:

melbourne

collingwood

footscray

walsh would be ideal for all three, but he's just left one of them...

very weird what's going on at the pies at the moment.

there's also a strong possibility that there'll be a vacancy at the peptides in this role.

Also saw them win the 2000 grand final and almost be the perfect team.

We should be throwing the kitchen sink at this bloke to be our footy director

Agreed!

Great news-maybe we can get that pub in Albert Park for cheap-I hear it's still on the market.

[DemonOX 8,783]

I know this is a bit airy fairy but I like it, I like it a lot.

Geoff Walsh could head to Melbourne after quitting Collingwood on Wednesday

Have you forgotten the one CS appointed? Edited July 24, 2013 by old dee

...and the one he reappointed.
