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?

How did he present when you interviewed him?

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.

Settle down. I see. Still a ridiculous situation. Delete your own thread Karen.

Did he turn us down?

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
