brent grigic did put his hand up, but a GDFL club got him another job, so he has gone down to the 3rd level competition in geelong, and has decided to try and make a comeback on field!!!

i dont want this to go any further than we demon fans, but i have it on good authority that we are head hunting Chopper Read for our c e o .

he has a reputation for getting things done, and when he talks, people listen.

p.s.

i got this from a reliable source

On a more serious note, it was rumoured on SEN this morning that Adelaide CEO Steven Trigg is on the short list of 4-5 candidates.

Hopefully, I'm not wasting Nasher's time with this rumour.

When would somebody like Trigg take the reins though? Surely Adelaide wouldn't be happy to just have him walk right on the eve of the season proper. Particularly considering the fantastic job he seems to have done for them, both in promoting the club in the public forum (I often hear him on MMM and such), and in terms of management. I'm all for treading (stamping) on toes but surely something like that would be difficult for Trigg to wrangle, at least in a reputable fashion (for him I mean).

It's no different to Greg Swann leaving Collingwood to join Carlton. It p#ssed off McGuire big time, to the extent that Eddie won't talk to Swann. But that's the business world. If Trigg sees us as a challenge that'll look good on his CV, I doubt that Adelaide will stop him leaving.

heard nathan buckley had a tif with eddie mcguire, so mcguire has now suddenly become head of the list for all other 15 clubs so he can bury collingwood.

What's your point? You only need to look at my title over there <--- to know that!

Great journalism Greg Denham. Five paragraphs on the subject matter, and ten paragraphs on Chris Judd's return. :angry:

On the subject matter, I'd be rapt with someone as dynamic as Paul McNamee as our CEO.

Since Nasher brought up his pet hate, this is one of mine.

What on earth was wrong with Greg Denham's journalism in this case? He's got the information about McNamee from a source and had it confirmed, but it seems neither McNamee, the headhunters nor the club would talk on record. Thus, it makes it pretty hard to write the 15 paragraphs you seem to be demanding without making it up.

The news about McNamee is clearly the most newsworthy item that Denham had, so it was up the top of the story and the headline refers to it.

He's also got the information about Chris Judd, and some comment from Carlton. Rather than waste space in a tight sports section on a Wednesday, they've combined the two stories. Not uncommon in a paper like the Australian that tries to give equal exposure to all sports that capture the national sporting public's interest.

Again, can you please explain to all the good people at Demonland what was wrong with Denham's "journalism", as you put it?

Or, as I suspect, are you just whinging because there's not enough words about Melbourne for your liking, and casting needless and unfounded aspersions on someone's professionalism as a way of coping?

[/rant]

It may not be poor journalism but it sure as hell is poor editing. Giving the article that headline when it's predominantly about Juddas is pretty ordinary. As is the (much) shorter story coming first, when typically they tack them on at the end.

Could be a possible fit. A former successful sportsman and CEO of one of this country's biggest sports events. Currently CEO of another major sporting event. Would be very close to many large companies and know all about what is needed for a successful sponsorship. If he gets along with his staff and promotes a good working environment he could be a good fit for us. Certainly a candidate worth closely examining as he would have many qualities that the incumbent doesn't.
