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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
