Do you think PG has deliberately stayed out of being in the position till October?

I can’t answer that. All i know is i have been told PG is involved with the Board now

Definitely some changes but burning the club to the ground is not the answer. That would take 5 years to recover from.

Unlike Carlton we dont have a clubhouse to burn down

Another diversity obsessive - sounds like an ex MFC Pres - and didn't that end well.

Here's a tip - most people care about competence not diversity.

In fact I've seen a number of totally incompetent people who were appointed due to their diversity credentials screw things up.

It really is a write off season now. No big calls will be made with an acting pres, CEO that starts later this year and a coach that probably won't know his future until the above get sorted.

Put yourself in carbonite and set the timer to unfreeze in 6 months.

brad green LOATHES being called 'acting president'

he is THE president

And therein lies a problem.

If there was no one in the wings just biding time he ( BD) might have some currency in his belief.

Whether he likes it or not, he is the interim President. And he acts like it

Walks like , sounds like.....

Couldn't really give a 💩 what he or others at the club 'loathe' as personally I loathe being a club struggling to tread water in 14th with stuff all prospects.

If he wants to be taken seriously... do serious stuff.

That is good news.

We have Pride flags, Pink Lady flags, Indigenous flags, Irish flags and more. We wave these flags during the particular matches to which they pertain. We’d need ten times the number of flag-wavers were we to wave them all, along with our many MFC flags, at every match. We have handheld banners and posters bearing players’ names/nicknames which are also plentiful, not to mention giant heads.

Goody does want us to be a destination club for indigenous players but he has no say in what we hold up. So, on this occasion you’ll have to find something else on which to blame him. But fear not, there’s no shortage of other things, just 10 minutes on these boards and you’ll find more than enough.

Perhaps we could merge the celebration of all of the various causes into one big mega round?

And therefore do something about the shambles if that is so.

Given his lack of visibility and vision Acting in all its meanings is about right

Exactly

Brad is the only guy who doesn't know he will be sacificed on the big board table

If not acting then address some issues of which there are plenty

If I was CEO?

I’d resign

Diversity is not my interest per se. Redirecting the attention away from the MCC is.

As @Jaded No More wrote in another thread, if I were CEO, I'd be getting the best suited head of footy above Goody I could. That would be my first move.

That new head of footy has some huge decisions to make about list management, line coaches and even the senior coaching position.

I'd also be calling up Monash and trying to eek put an MOU vis a vis a Caulfield partnership with their sports science school.

Diversity focused leaders with high level competency exist in many areas

You are being dismissive and aligning yourself to fake news to think otherwise Cranky.

He would be doing heaps right now, even without starting. Would be finding out issues. Planning. Getting the lay of the land.


CEO should come in and execute what the board wants - deliver on the strategic vision. The questions would be what is driving the board atm? Onfield review, off field review, home base? Lets see what they are set to do by the board, then we can know if they are a success…

You can support Diversity focused leaders & I'll support competence focused leaders.

And hopefully when I next have surgery the surgeon got their job based on their competency not their diversity identity.

As CEO... I would like to direct this question to my General Manager of Strategy and Head of Football Operations, who will answer your question verbatim with prepared key messages compiled by the Communications team.

Yeah let's have a review

It's a problem if you have an incompetent board

Nothing will change until this is addressed realisticaly

C’mon Cranky. My post was talking about competent focused leaders who embrace diversity. Win win situation. They are not exclusive to each other and I support both.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
