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: 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
