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 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.

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.

Very happy with the appointment

Great work MFC

OK Bev no need to do the Lady Godiva reenactment now...and I'll take the horse back to the stables for you.

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;)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
