Lamborghinis and hot breakfasts: Australian cricket all about 'values'!

And the players have an attitude problem?

Dare I say, that's a Duff-like sense of entitlement. Something seems NQR about this bloke. Hope I'm wrong about that.

He's going to love it when he finds out the role includes a couple of shifts on the coffee cart at open trainings to serve us plebs!

Most mornings, in full view of his speechless colleagues at Jolimont, he had his secretary cook and serve him a hot breakfast in his glass-encased office. "Where's the Worcestershire sauce?!" he famously thundered.

Dare I say, that's a Duff-like sense of entitlement. Something seems NQR about this bloke. Hope I'm wrong about that.

If that's the sort of persona Ben has he will fit in well at gender-equal North

And the predictable boring shitfight to kick off within two pages.

Told you.

 

[DrZaius]

Not sure i'm quite on board with the idea of a CEO that's not particularly a 'club first' type of person.

 

[see see]

If he can do the same job dragging revenue into the club as he did for CA, he give the players a pressed ham from the boardroom every training session for all I care.

There's only one Australian cricket team. We're competing with 17 other clubs for a slice of the revenue pie.

Yeah nah.

 

[gokangas]

first thing, i hope he doesn't plan to play more games in Tassie for extra $.

has to be his first statement, I hope.

On the plus side, this appointment will enable us to target the Armenian and Ghanian communities for memberships, a la Majak and the Sudanese.

 

[The Warlord]

Oh I see somebody went and got themselves an alt.

 

[DesertRoo]

Go get ‘em Ben.

whoever we appointed would’ve got this treatment, a couple of people in the media have lost their access to insider info and are still sooking.

Did this bloke really get his secretary to cook him brekky haha? What a weapon

 

[Colbys Boots]

You clowns realise that it's not within the power of a CEO to relocate the club right? Because if it was, Rick Aylett would have done it in 2007. Decisions of that magnitude are made by the board.

It's about public perception. I don't think anyone is dumb enough to think the decision is made by the CEO alone. But he will lead the direction set by the board. We need to know what that is.

Removing money going in to non football related crap, and redirecting it to the footy dept should be the first thing on the agenda.

EVERYTHING must go in to gaining on field success, because EVERYTHING will be lost if that is not achieved.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Excellent. He'll push the envelope if required. This is the type we need.

Make that 1973 mate.

We need to recapture that level of dynamism again, and it was lead by North FOOTBALL people.

I hope it's not Ben. He was booted out of CA for quite a few reasons. DO NOT GET HIM.

Please elaborate?
Ive heard different things.
Gets shit done is the main thing. Personally I’d like a ceo known for getting things done, all be it if he ruffles a few feathers along the way.

How can you know he's not club first?

Seemed to be CA first and didn't mind treading on a few toes getting things done.

Sounds like CA was a pretty toxic place and because Ben didn't mind ruffling a few feathers he would be an easy fall guy. That AFR article smacks of someone with an axe to grind doing a bit of backgrounding.

Reporter: how does it feel being the CEO of the North Melbourne Kangaroos?

CEO Ben: North Melbourne? Isn't this the Australian Kangaroos?

Reporter: No Ben

CEO Ben: Shiiiiiiiiiit
