jaxons is a good bloke. dont blame him, he's just repeating the info he has been told look at the people inside the club. the source of most leaks isnt hard to work out, given they generally start when the person comes on board. once you work out that persons first leak, you can generally work out t...

Matt Finnis is a guy who is talked about as future AFL CEO material, so I wonder if he's been courted by higher powers, as a "this would look really good on your resume" type of deal?? So then we have a transitional CEO who's using us as a stepping stone to the big office?? They're all &q...

absolutely over the moon with finnis. the ip he'd would bring is amazing, add to that his relationship with AFL HQ and the soon to be AFL CEO and i think were onto a winner

Oh yeah cos recruitment is just like such a sophisticated specialty. Spare me. at that level...yes Not sophisticated but far more involved than for most other roles. i said sophisticated because you're hardly going to go to someone like a skilled engineering to get your next CEO there are recruitme...

at that level...yes

Some posters are embarrassing them selves: "I didn't see the ad in my local paper for the job" "I can't see it on seek" We don't even have a careers section on the Saints website. That's so embarrassing in this day and age. true and valid point, but how often do you see the CEO ...

Of course it's right - it's jazons!

He also said Choco would coach

true but in fairness i suspect the club went out of their way to tell people it was choco

meanwhile the real negotiation was taking place. dont blame jaxxons for that one!!!

he's a good bloke too

Whilst he's obviously politically connected which should be good for us, he has zero experience in some of the key off-field areas we're deficient in - finding and managing sponsors, increasing membership and managing finances. He'll need good people below him to step up in these areas. Dillon is s...

It's a huge step down from his AFL role and maybe within his ability.

step down? its the other way around IMO, its a massive step up!!!

i actually think the mcevoy trade will go down as one of the best things we have done. without the mcevoy trade we would not have got the longer deal done and probably would have had to pay a bit more for one of bruce, delaney. heres how the two trades worked: Trade 1 [/u] Ben McEvoy, Pick 24, Pick ...

was he ever going to be officially involved with the club again?

sounds like common sense has prevailed RE Robson, which is the most pleasing aspect of the announcement Anderson is a very very smart man. its hard to judge his performance at the AFL, he practically did the job with two hands tied behind his back. the AFL were never keen on actually finding drug ch...

I agree with some of it as well. But I mostly felt this way last year, peaked with the watters bulls*** and no response from our membership dept. Lisa there responded and got my back on board, now looking fwd to nab cup But to be honest I'm still on edge, one more eff up from the afl or the saints a...

i thought he did very well for how green he is. broken jaw didnt help then the other niggling injuries

with 2 young kids, now three. most times its easier and more affordable to watch from home

i'd ask what initiatives are in place for the club to create a revenue stream outside of football. every effing year they say they need to do it, were still waiting

To be fair Robson resigned because he wasn't on top of what was happening at Dope land. You may argue he should have known however if people are doing stuff behind your back it can be hard to know what's going on. So he fell on his sword. Maybe Turdy could have taken a leaf out of his book. It's no...

I wouldn't mind T Nisbett. hell no how come? he's ridden the cook wave for all its worth and has been helped by big corporate sponsors in a 2 team town, that had quite a bit of cash due to the mining boom. he has struggled in areas and i do mean seriously struggled in areas of leadership where he h...

How does Tom Hickey know him.... He's barely met him, and of course is saying nice things about the culb, its employees or sponsors as players are coached to do.... Jolly may well be a good coach (or better) but his commentary about his clubs and previous clubs ...... And former coaches and players...

wow you guys have really got it in for netters .... as far as CEO's go i think Michael himself will admit he has his failings but i do think you are exaggerating his short comings , in the time he has been CEO on field he and his team have made mistakes sure but they have also got many things right...

Forum should be moved over from the ancient shitty phpBB to something like xenforo

I think some of the criticism being directed at MN is unfair. NO CEO of any orgainisation of size is an expert or the champion in all areas of the organisation's work. It is impossible. What good CEO's rely on is high class support staff who are able to advise, in some instances direct and provide ...
