Strategy Back of House Discussion: Targets, Changes, Appointments & Facilities

[bombard]

Gaines as chairman is doomsday if she doesn't delegate alot of her power and leave it to people that have footy knowledge.

I'm so concerned. The good thing is atleast wce will be a financial powerhouse and she will help it maintain that core value.

But like I said Gaines has the average footy knowledge of a happy clapper fan.

But Gaines is a competent speaker and can sprout talking points and corporate speak well

Calm your farm. A board oversees corporate governance. She's not moving the magnets just before quarter time.

Chairs the board, not an emperor or a coach.

 

[Monocle]

Sounds like some random has been offended and is quite salty about the experience.

Personally I am very happy with the appointment.

AFL House also reporting an increase to soft-cap.

$400k next year, then 2 x $250k further increases for AFL.

3 x $100k increases to soft-cap for AFLW.

Eh, she can't be any worse than mumbling, bumbling, let's all have a sing song on the plane home Fitzpatrick

Her job is not to make football decisions

She oversees governance of the club, both on and off field, which entails ensuring the appropriate people are installed to run their areas

A good chair/president shouldn’t be involved in football operations but needs to fight for what’s best for the club- a female who’s risen to the top of a mining company would be able to hold her own with AFL house

Expect she’ll be our best chair since Alan Cransberg

 

[RanaNaved]

She looks a bit like Amanda Redman, that's all I know about her

 

[UseR2006]

Not to mention having a Footy Player in Rowan Jones as Deputy settles any lack of footy concerns.
Jones wont take a backward step in providing any feedback.

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

if bro used to work for her, i think his opinion is valid

 

[random260]

As long as Gaines doesn't overstep into football operations she will be a fine chairman.

She will ensure the financial stability and be a fine speaker

Gaines quarter-time round one next year, storms into the coaches box and demands Darling to be moved to the midfield.

"But he doesn't even play for us anymore."

"I don't care, just make it happen!"

 

[Monocle]

As long as Gaines doesn't overstep into football operations she will be a very good chairman.

She will ensure the financial stability and be a fine speaker

And if she does that then she is perfect for the job.

Pyke will take care of the overall management of the Football Operations side of things.

Most people don't know what a CEO actually does.

 

[Boohemian]

Not if bro's experience is limited to driving trucks around mine pits rather than corporate governance.

 

[RanaNaved]

You haven't even met bro, could have an IQ of 70

Bro and Gunston

With Gaines having only been a director for 2 yrs that means she can serve another 7 yrs as chairperson.
If she does that means Rowan Jones won't get a shot as his 9 yrs will expire before hers.

That's my only concern with her, she seems to have been wedged in there pretty quickly. Sounds like a good business operator but I would like her to have had a bit more experience around the club first.

Fitzpatrick was a dud though, so maybe she got pushed up ahead of time.

Fitzpatrick leaving and Gaines taking his place creates a vacancy for a director.
I hope Worsfold gets the job instead of some mate of the existing Directors, or a Perthonality which has happened in the past.

Who are the Perthonalities on the current board?

 

[Selurs]

Most people don't know what a CEO actually does.

Play golf, fly first class, host lunches, and if you're really bored, fire a couple thousand people. Duh.

When I heard her speak on the odd occasion she was like a breath of fresh air in comparison to Fitzpatrick. In any event I thought you could only be chair for a max of 4 years or something like that I think, then a new chair has to be elected.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Oh my God. She used to be my ceo. She will sprout talking points.

I have no doubt She has the average understanding of afl as a happy clapper fan.

The statements she will make will reek of incompetences and out of touch. She's best not to make any statements.

I know next to nothing about Gaines but if you’re not a fan of the appointment I think that tells me all I need to know.
