Its a gov job! He could have left if he wanted to. He is not the CEO of BHP or even a private company. He is certainly replacable. Next drone up! It's ridiculous. He is ticking his own career box at expense of the club.

Please provide an example of another FADG/ADG/DepSec/Sec etc. who provides one months notice then moves on?

You honestly have zero clue what you’re talking about. What you suggest happens at the Band 1 or 2 level, doesn’t even occur at SES level.

Genuinely unsure if you’re just trolling, or have no context of anything in Government or private practice.

Because I’ll tell you, after having worked across both the public and private sector, no one moves into a new role after a 4 week notice period. You’d struggle to come across that at even an APS4 level or as a junior associate.

    Rubbish. He could have started before September with gratitude.

    Right. Unable to provide any real world examples, but sticking to the notion that merely saying something makes it so.

    Droll, but apt.

    No. What is ridiculous is that we dont have a CEO on thre ground when all this MFC Home base is falling apart. To make it worse he has to be at the Chamber of Commerce for a "Gathering" in 3 months time after appointment.

    What if in the unfortunate event he passed away. Would the World Chambers Congress in September not go ahead?

    He should be behind the desk.

    Wizard of Koz, if that is your real name, what makes you think our home base plan is falling apart?

    Oh you've got me. Yes my real name is not :"Wizard of Koz" .

    In regards to Caulfield it would be great to have some clarity and green light. Maybe not falling apart but still not locked in.

    To whoever challenged me to show some real life examples of people leaving gov jobs with 4 weeks notice I really am not going to go internetting for this. I have seen it many times.

    Not sure why the know it alls are so uptight. It's weird.

    So if you're correct why was this language used in the Club announcement: "Paul will hit the ground running and Members will have opportunities to hear directly from him very soon."

    We/he didn't check?

    What’s your context and question? I’m clearly not following what your statement and question has to do with my comment.

    In what world, does a person in a position as CEO, regularly start after a month?

    Bizarre.

    “Yeah, I’ll just hand in my four weeks notice. See you in a month, boys!”

    Greg Swann starting at the AFL 21 July after announcement of appointment earlier this month. AFL would not want one of their star attractions in the frontier State of Queensland to sag, and appropriate succession plan looks to be in place up there.

    Meanwhile, our administration lacks urgency when there are significant challenges and opportunities afoot. Those opportunities need to be seized, and challenges addressed by a dynamic, settled administration.

    But what a stuff up. Fancy hiring a new CEO during the season, having taken 6 months to hire a new one, and the new guy can't start for another 6 months.

    And if he was a fantastic appointment, would you wait a few months, or rather lose him and appoint a lesser person who could start right away?

    From Caro's reporting he was the lead candidate and had the job.

    What a fuss about nothing in this thread. I bet if the team was winning this thread wouldn't have even appeared.

    Do a bit of googling with Caroline Wilson. He was strongly favoured by AFL HQ too. Just as Peter Jackson was back in the day.

    Instead we got a guy with no footy background at all.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
