The converstaion so far, Deanox congratulates pert for his sponsorship work, I point out it went backwards, to which you say it is not perts fault.  

Just to be clear it was @Cards13 not me who brought up his sponsorship work!

I'd be interested to know how everyone elses sponsorship has gone before I make any judgements.  I can't imagine this year would be easy. I'd have expected 2019 to be up on 2018, leveraging success but may have been locked into contracts?

I honestly don't know whether he is good or not. He has a good industry rep and track record. He was moved on after a decade, which to me isn't surprising: change and refreshing input at the top is important. My surprise is the Eddie is still there.

So I won't attribute anything soley to him as credit or fault, unless I know it is his work. I do think though that the good work and performance of of a company, even if driven by subordinates and staffers, is a credit to a CEO unless there is evidence (or at the least reasonable talk) that the good things happened in spite of them.

And if there is reason to believe auch talk, I'm happy to hear about it. It just need to be more than "he was moved on by Collingwood, and was only at C9 for less than a year".

 

Also to @jnrmac's point, I was surprised we chased him outside the process too. It's obvious Mahoney is a good business operator, so I'm surprised he didn't get the gig. I can only assume there was a bit of a nudge from AFL house or that we thought he may have had existing strong relationships with those powerbrokers that was an edge over pure business skills.

    I was told that he was a big hitter that would be able to get the Yarra Park redevelopment through vs Mahoney that was not so experienced in the corporate world.

    Not sure if there is any validity to that but it fits.

    Hey if he gets Yarra Park, or any central location, up and running as a home for us, he'll have earnt his spot.

    The comment that we are a government led committee tasked with that was eyebrow raising.

    The fact it is going to be Marvel stadium sized with Casey as our MCG sized oval was something that stood out to me from Bartlett’s podcast interview.

    The split in football and list management is odd to me.

    If it was admin and footy split I can understand it better but list management and trading and management of the cap goes hand in hand with what the FD are thinking.

    I know they will talk to each other but where the buck stops is important and has endless implications.

    Isnt the end of the world, just don’t think it will last.

    Evidently the split in structure from the review was not to last - and probably only in place to placate parties who were at the club. I expect this to change once again to align list management with the FD once again.

    I suspect you're right, although I'm not comfortable with Richardson taking over list management. He didn't exactly set the world alight with his list building at St Kilda...

    I reckon there might be one more face to join the FD. Is list management and game day strategy an odd combination for a single role?

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
