Gary Pert Quits as MFC CEO

[BDA 22,755]

The market for AFL CEO’s, or any other CEO for that matter, is small. Digging heels in and going against the grain isn’t a wise strategy from a future employment prospects point of view.

 Pert read the room and made the smart decision. He’ll be back in a job soon enough.

don't forget he is on record as saying he intended originally on finishing up mid year in 2025 anyway, so i doubt 6 months salary was any big deal

As a consultant for the potential Caulfield move DC he could be around for some time. He will get more than his 6 month salary.

I thought George had left a couple of years ago to start up his own business. Has he returned to the fold.

George is doing part time fund raising for the club, as well as running his own business.

could well be, od

theoretically though they are trying to wrap up the business case side of it by mid 25

still plenty to do after that of course

[i'm sure they are well aware of the urgency and your impatience] 😁

It became clear after the review that Pert’s job as CEO became untenable, he did the right thing. The problems of the last 18-24 months were real, and we needed to clear the Decks

I have been very impressed with the way Brad Green has handled the situation so far….

After 40 years I don't think it can be called impatient. Incredulous yes.

Because he is under contract, and maybe they chose to change his position    to consultant

Doubt it.

If someone's incompetent or stinking the place up you don't keep them on for 2 months in the same role, nor employ them beyond that period as a consultant. 

Pretty clear that Pert hasn't been sacked.

Equally true that a change at the top and some fresh blood isn't unwelcome. Provided we get the right person.

It has been mentioned a number of times already But I want to reiterate how great it is to receive regular email updates from our President that are pleasant, firm, concise informative and timely that actually address our concerns and ease our anxiety. Hard to believe this man was that pimply faced 18 year old kid that kicked 4 goals for us in that win over Carlton in the elimination final in 2000. He has stepped up again when we needed him most.

Agree wholeheartedly. it's only be a few weeks but it feels like Brad's doing a very good job  rebuilding trust among the supporter/membership base
