New MFC CEO

Well apparently the decision has been made and will be made public today or tomorrow.

I thought i would make a thread about discussing this as its a big time for the club.

I was listening to SEN on the internet and one of the blokes said out loud that Stuart Fox would be just having to say his goodbyes at geelong today etc.

I dont know much about Him or the other guy , only know about Mcnamee. Should i be getting happy if it is indeed Stuart Fox?

 

Caroline Wilson last night illuded to the fact that it is not Paul McNamee.

Stuart Fox is highly regarded by Brian Cook who many believe is the best in the business.

I would prefer Paul, I think people seem to think that Fox is from geelong, geelong won a premeirship so now we will!!!! I don't know much about him so I don't say this with any authority, but McNamee seemed to be higher profile to me.

you're right, mcnamee has the biggest profile, and seems to be a great administrator, but he's never worked in AFL football before... Fox has seen the great things Cook has done down at Geelong, and the most important thing, he knows what's required to run a successful AFL club...

the way I see it, McNamee is Kevin Sheedy, high profile in the media, would create some positive spin for the club, however Fox is the Dean Bailey, the one who seems to really know his stuff, knows what needs to be brought to a modern AFL club...

this is all speculation, but i think this is how it will pan out...

A good analogy there Vanlo. Look who ever it is.. will need to get going at a million miles an hour to stay ahead of the "inclement ' weather that seems to constantly haunt us.


Last half an hour Paul McNamee has hotted up as the successful candidate.

Hutchy mentioned on SEN this morning that he thinks McNamee is the front runner.

I think all three sound promising.

McNamee has a big profile, has dealt in obtaining large corporate sponsorship.

Fox - has learnt from one of if not the best in the biz and part of a recent premiership.

Conlon - has been around footy, and is the GM of part of a large international brand.

McNamee is a close one for me....

A very very good analogy indeed...Paul would have brought razzamataz and we need some of that...does it have to come from the CEO though? Maybe they are better off with their hands at the wheel.

How many club AFL CEO's have a high profile anyway? I can only think of Cook & Swan, and if Swann hadn't defected from the filth then nobody whose come within cooeee of a bar of soap this millenium would have known who he was anyway!

Razzamatz will have to be generated elsewhere....I suppose a Lady Godiva reinactment is out of the question Bev???

 

Since Vanlo Bailey-Fox analogy I'm starting to favour him however McNamee will be a massive coup.

Awesome name by the way, Stuart Fox. Makes him sound smart, even if he is not. In the same league as Max Power for mine.

Great work MFC

SEN jst said MFC has issued a statement confirming Paul Mac has been apointed CEO. Terrific news!! He, CC and DB will make a gr8 team - going to b intersting to see who out of Paul and Chris is most efferescent through the year!!!!

One of his first tasks will be to ensure that such announcements come ot on MFC website first!!!

NOW LETS GET ON with it -- 2008 season and 150th year!!

Hate to be negitive, but his 1st job would be to kick some telstra ar$e. Nothing on our website, once again trumped. At least this time it was a golf magizine and not Choco!

 

Thats some good news for the club and hopefully means sponsors will look upon the club in a much more favourable light.

what else to say

FORE .............

its a Grand Ol' Flag ... :P;)

  • 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.
