Strategy CEO Thread - Jennifer Watt - Started Jan 2023

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Jen now into her 3rd year at Arden St. This is usually the time we see most CEO’s spread their wings and make a significant impact at the club. Watch this space.

Do you have any data behind that 3rd year theory? From an NMFC perspective, I think the last CEO struggled to make it through his 3rd year. Not sure what Funky Carl Dilena did in his 3rd year that was any different than the other years. And before that, Euge didn't exactly spread his wings in his 3rd year because he was flying from the get go.

why's it always gotta be "everything is awesome" "you're obviously close friends with someone on the board" "the club can do no wrong and you're a shill" when someone just doesn't fully and completely agree with the unending complaining or throws up an alternative perspective?

Is your argument that weak that that is always the go to?

It's what happens when you invest what passes for personality into pure negativity.

So you would let Melbourne Airport Parking have a logo on the shorts just to fill the spot even though they only pay enough to warrant getting a mention on the website and having offers emailed to members via the club? No. They get what they pay for and if they don't pay enough to earn themselves real estate on our game day strip, then you don't give that away.

Who said anything about "giving it away"?

44 pages of nothing.

Sounds like her time as CEO.

Hasn't done much - good or bad, so has Amarfio covered.

This reported WA men's team deal, combined/overlapping with the Tasmania exit strategy, is going to be what defines Watt's tenure.

I think the massively overlooked aspect of this is the AFLW team's relationship with Tasmania, too. Part of the reason we're so successful in the AFLW is that we could afford to properly invest in the team specifically because of the funding our AFLW program received from the Tasmanian deal.

Who do you think is overlooking it? The media?

Us. The fanbase.

We got $500,000 for our AFLW team from Tasmania.
Everyone's super keen to see the Tasmania deal end, which... obviously I understand and am not opposed to.
But everyone's focused on the men's team playing 2 games in WA and getting the money associated with that, but I'm concerned we're about to leave our incredibly successful women's team high-and-dry with an expediated/rushed exit from the Tasmania deal.

Oh, ok. Well I can't speak for everyone but I assume it will all be worked out as part of the overall exit strategy. The fact we've got some WA home games locked away after decades of trying suggests the club is onto it and it will all shake out.

Valid.

Of course, it's not like us the fan base get a say either way. We don't get to decide where we play. We don't get to decide how often either. This has been on the cards since the day the AFL decided to entertain a Tasmanian team going back several years - seems like we never have a plan beyond the next couple.

$500k is absolutely worth a ground announcer not ever uttering the words “North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos” ever again.

I took particular umbridge with tone and smirk when it happened before our last game.

Thoughts on Darren Crocker as next CEO? A-la Brendan Gale? Assuming he has CEO credentials….

 

[The Nostradamus]

how’s simon Lloyd been the last 2 years?

He just missed on getting this role against Jen

Yeah nah, give the job to Brady Rawlings. That would certainly get a tick from the efficiency commissioner - the people who hate post about Brady are mostly the same people who hate post about Jen Watts. Imagine the time savings.

 

[The Warlord]

Great work by the CEO here

He got walked out of Geelong so not that great I guess.

Not a good day for the Jen haters but at least they still have the shorts sponsor hill to die on.

It fell in her lap - wa sides complaining about to much travel and us exiting tas was just luck.

 

[hotchilli]

It's still a big tick for her.

 

[CURVE]

Well done to Jen and her team.

It will be interesting to see if we can garner any WA sponsorships out of this deal. Maybe a big shorts sponsor.

We've been trying to sell a game to WA for decades.

So many people in this thread need to make some apologies

Gokangas and chadwiko both had their concerns addressed in the letter from the President, so that was nice

I hate it.

we had to do it because the league put hurdles in front of us entering the league and then immediately after that completely diluted the talent pool by allowing every club in.

which leaves us with some name addendum for next to no reason.

I'd f*** the name off now if I could.

Oh bullshit
