Cricket boss firms as Demons replacement

Nicho is technically an outside appointment but he should know the club and what issues it confronts. I would prefer that we got someone internally as there is less likely to be an unnecessary change of course but Nicho isn't without football experience  obviously.

 

 

Interesting possibility !

I know someone who works closely with him at ACA.  Prefer others is all I’ll say.

We need to get with the times and appoint a female CEO regardless of credentials.

I think we could wind back the clock to the days of Captain/coaches ala Big Carl Ditterich and make Daisy Pearce Captain/CEO.

Actually whats Big Carl up to?

He could start by shirtfronting Gil, Eddie and Kennett.

Cameron Schwab or Paul McNamee ??????????????

Your username is spot on.

Not sure how I feel about this... "Fairfax Media understands Alistair Nicholson has been sounded out by the Demons to replace outgoing chief executive Peter Jackson, who announced earlier this month he would be stepping down at the end of the year".

Bit of a homecoming, I guess.

He has the football player experience and the sporting management experience, albeit on the player side. 

Not dissimilar background to Gale at Richmond and Finnis at St Kilda who both went into CEO Club roles from player Associations. 

If he is the club's choice then I'm behind him. 

He'd want to  be a better administrator than he was as a player.

This is what I've been thinking, since Jackson was mooted as possibly leaving some time in the future, back in 2016/17.

Jackson has been a big rap for Josh Mahoney; and josh has lasted many clean outs of our admins over the years, and comes out clean. He does a good job of things.

 

I would not be surprised to see Josh take the role, which would mean we are looking for him to mentor a footy dept head.

My feeling is that JM is the perfect No.2! The kinda stalwart senior NCO that gets things done, that provides the best advice and is relentless in their commitment. However, I’m not sure that JM has the cut-throat mindset that is required for someone who needs to not only lead, but fiercely compete against their peers in what is a massive multi-million dollar industry. 

Love the guy to death, but think the CEO should be ruthlessly calculated, fiercely competitive, innovative yet outwardly humble - JM (the loyal legend that he is) is not quite what we’ll need post a successful season.

 

I'd rather Josh stay in his current role managing the FD. Purely because if he were to become the CEO, then we'd also need to bring in a new football manager, creating 2 unknowns.

Mahoney has been fantastic as General Manager of Football, long may it continue. Then we'd only need to worry about finding a successful CEO.

I have nothing to base my judgement on other than PJ was always very appreciative of Mahoneys abilities, so i was just trying to guess who might get that position.

I don't know anything about CEO operations, to really base any idea from.

PJ's thoughts will do me.

Fair call mate, understood your viewpoint

Word is Mark Neeld is available and looking for a slight change in role.

Regarding the "reality bus" he aims to implement "elite" standards both on and off the football field.

That's the mail. Apparently he's two subjects away from finishing his MBA and wants to transition into a FD Admin role...

Having thought a bit more about mfc courting Alistair Nicholson to replace PJ, I feel a bit underwhelmed.  

If he gets the CEO gig, I hope it doesn't ruffle too many feathers with possible internal candidates.

Also, a bit surprised that our moves have leaked to the media.  Very unlike mfc of the Jackson era.  Maybe it was from the cricket world which tends to leak like a sieve.

Jen Watt could emerge as possibility as well.. watch this space. very very highly rated within the Club and the AFL.

She moved to the MCC less than a year ago so that would ruffle some feathers if she came back.

I would suggest that the two roles could not be more different.  The CEO role needs to be awared to someone with a track record in that area.

I believe her role at the MCC is to give it a thorough overhaul, which requires time. Not about ego.

Not what i meant

if she came back to the the MFC, would it dent egos?
