Brad has never led a major business/organistion and may be wondering (or have wondered) "...what do I know about chairing a footy club - or anything else..?"

Rest assured Brad your'e doing just fine and are a credit to yourself and your  playing reputation.

Lucky to have him as one of us.

 

Feels like Green is doing a good job allowing the club to focus on what’s important by putting to bed some outside noise. 👍👏

Brad's achievements in a few short months.

  • Seamless and bloodless transition to lead the Board
  • Drove the FD and Board reviews (and will oversee their implementation)
  • Negotiated the departure of our CEO
  • Facilitated the arrival of Steve Smith (pending voting) and succession plan to be the next Board leader
  • Ended the off-field legal dramas taking the unwarranted heat of our coach and our club.

In a few short months he has neutralised the topics creating negative media attention. 👏👏👏

 

I will confess I was a bit 'meh' when he joined the Board and thought replacing Roffey was just window dressing.  I was very very wrong! 

If he does nothing else he has been incredibly successful in laying the foundations for our stability, growth and success.

Change management is one of the hardest things for any organisation to undertake and Brad hasn't put a foot wrong.

What a load of rubbish, think you overestimated his super human abilities in these matters.


In future please refer he as “President Green”.

So you don't think he was a big part of everything?

Obviously he isn't doing it all on his own, but he's definitely been a driving force in getting these matters sorted.

The previous administration couldn't/didn't get it done, and under his stewardship its done.  Not sure why the negativity.

He did captain the MFC and lead a group of players - think that counts for something leadership wise and not many of the business/organisational type expert leaders that might stand for president could bring that to the table.

While realising that it's still obviously pretty important he is able to lead the business/administration side, I would think that having a player/captains perspective is something that is pretty darn important to have when leading a footy club and probably exactly what we need right now to provide the sort of space to let the players get on with things and get us back on track on feild next year.  We start winning games consistently and convincingly next year and just watch all these off field issues evaporate in the eyes of the media.

I can see that yet again the positive attitudes in Demonland are shining through.

Because facts matter unless you don't think so.

Pert is leaving of his own accord or is Green lying on that matter

I very much doubt Pert would be leaving, at this point without the Review

So you've never sat around a serious Board table or understand good governance?

Some demonlanders drive me spare.

Given the remaining Board is largely unchanged Brad can take credit as change agent for sure

I'm still a bit sceptical with Green but I certainly acknowledged that I feel he has been really proactive and especially with his communication of late which I respect and something Roffey clearly lacked.

As members, it's good to be informed every now and then on what's happening around the club.

Well yes according to Green, but apparently he negotiated to keep him on as a consultant so there's that?

Agree, great summary. 

On top of that & under his watch;

  • Clayton and Christian are back in the fold and not saying/doing things to embarrass us
  • We obtained another top 10 pick in a strong draft 
  • He's communicated outstandingly well to the members, and; 
  • Called out non-sense, gutter reporting (eg. Clarrie cleaning out his locker), via his personal Twitter

A minor part in the first a major part in the second.

The Green Transition is all about Net Zero Moron Media influence, De-Barretization, and switching to future fuels not containing tropane alkaloids

Edited by RickyJ45

 

Green is all about the supporters.  He knows who are the backbone of the club and is communicating better than any President in recent times.

He is a very good man is our Brad Green he puts our club before anything else, what more could you ask.

  • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

  • NON-MFC: Round 10

    The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
