several people i've spoken to today about rodski rate him enormously highly

I have had a little (very little) bit to do with him on the sponsorship front several years ago. Nice guy but didn’t strike me as ‘Australia’s oldest sporting club who needs a home base and a culture overhaul’ level of guy.

Important to remember the Storm are privately owned (Tripp and friends) and the governance is different. Important also to remember that they have Bellamy who is the driver of culture in that joint and has done a phenomenal job almost solely doing that for a very long time.

I won't be Swann:   

"... Healy believes the AFL have a duty to pick up the phone and at least pose the question to Swann who has committed to the Lions for the upcoming season... "  to join AFL HQ.

One name not mentioned anywhere is Josh Blanksby who left MRC recently.
 

He was mentioned when Richmond were hunting for a CEO.
 

I don’t think he is right (no footy background and he seemingly was a big part of the botch-job of the Caulfield redevelopment) but I am surprised he hasn’t been floated due to his intimate knowledge of Caulfield/the Trust and our clear ambitions there.

Thats probably a very good reason not to get him.

Justin Rodski - would be a fantastic appointment. As much as he is ceo at storm - he's an AFL boy at heart 

Worked his way up the corporate ranks at Essendon before going to Storm 

Know him quite well - through junior footy. He does the boundary ump role every game for his sons team - he's  grounded and always available for a chat

This would be a fantastic get if we could pull this off.

Fox was formerly CEO at Hawthorn prior to the MCC wasn't he?

Steven Smith pulling the strings to get Fox in as CEO would be absolutely brilliant. 

Yes Smith is already working behind the scenes before the handover from Green mid season.

the ~80 thousand dollar desk.

I've heard the names Stuart Fox & Sam Graham mentioned as leading contenders.

Interesting.   iirc Sam Graham was Gil's preferred replacement for Peter Jackson.

His last two AFL positions:

afl-congratulates-sam-graham  COO, understudy to Greg Swann at Brisbane Lions

Graham has been part of the AFL for more than 18 years, with leadership positions across Strategy and Club Services, Chief Executive of AFL NSW / ACT, AFL General Manager Game Development, and most recently on the AFL senior leadership team as General Manager Tasmanian expansion.

An excellent background.  Helps that he knows his way around and has contacts at AFL HQ!

 

Either Fox or Graham would be excellent for us.

Just get Jason Taylor onto it.

He'll get us the best available pick.

The MCC is about the cushiest gig in the world. Grand final locked in for 50 years. Waiting list for decades. State government providing support for mega concerts in the offseason.

And if you’re happy to jack fees, jack prices, tolerate a decline in behaviour and standards across the actual club you’re rolling.

No way you’d leave that to take on the MFC unless you don’t have the appetite for the Shane Warne stand rebuild. In which case I’d ask why do you have the appetite for Caulfield and grinding away as a club CEO.

Maybe read the link in my last post to see his club experience.  5 Premierships in the 16 years at Geelong and Hawthorn, 8 as CEO.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he'd be facing.

Yes, a fair assessment!!! 😁

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
