Me either but hes come from setups at Geelong and Sydney and they always seem to have their off field shit in order so cant see any negatives

Yeah this is a nice get. Will be a stable head imo

 

[Harry O]

Excellent get by Ned

[Scodog10]

Rumour floating around we won’t name the GM/Head of footy until post AGM out of fear of backlash, Reid still the most keen for the gig and front runner (some saying he’s already got the job but waiting a post AGM announcement).

This aged well

 

[JuniorB]

Bugger!!!

 

[jimmy35]

Not good news about Tit h unfortunately.

 

[JuniorB]

Doubt it Dave. They've said it's mild. It's only December.

He's probably been going so hard that he's overdone it a bit.

 

[Pistol Night]

Not good news about Tit h unfortunately.

As long as tit a-g are still ok though?

Executive General Manager of Football announced

Collingwood is excited to welcome Charlie Gardiner as the Club’s Executive General Manager of Football.

www.collingwoodfc.com.au

He said he was "interested" in the Melbourne job, but he's made the right decision in the end.
He'll be great.

Welcome Charlie Gardiner

You do understand my response was a hypothetical theory put forward in regards to your question?

Regardless, we appointed one of the two candidates most preferred, me included.

Walking into that still burning dumpster fire wouldn't have peaked his interest for too long id imagine

 

[swoop42]

He is Pretty Muched Finished

Not sure if he's finished mate but people are burying their heads in the sand if they can't draw a correlation between this latest setback and the foot injury of last season. Clearly related.

The reality is Mitchell hasn't played since April and has only just returned to full training after the off season break.

The fact he's already getting a stress reaction should be a concern.

 

[Pistol Night]

Now Nick is in agreement with me.
Trust in FJ.

Did you threaten that he'd burn in hell for eternity if he didn't? You're a savage Lord

Yeah I'm sensing a bit of jealousy from the elder Messiah towards his younger brother.

Something I found on bf by a Swans supporter (November 24)

"FWIW Charlie Gardiner is still highly thought of at the Swans.

Came to the club, in late 2018, from lawyers Arnold Bloch Leibler where he was a senior associate in their dispute resolution and litigation team (and they tend not to employ/promote dunderheads).

Appointed Exec GM of Football and held the role during the Covid hubs, where it is generally agreed the leadership of Harley, Longmire and Gardiner was exemplary and whereas other clubs hated the hubs, they were, in the aftermath generally seen as an positive environment/experience for the Swans.
The buy-in was such that with limited support personnel in the hub CEO Harley became our bench coach and Gardiner our runner.

He's a former AFL player (60 odd games) and former AFLPA club delegate, so fair to say a broad range of exposure across various roles.

Also known as a person who lets people get on with their jobs (eg was nominally in charge of the recruitment/list mgmt team, but backed them and didn't interfere).

Moved back to Melbourne, in the last year, for unspecified family reasons, but retained, by the Swans, on a consultancy basis and still the player contract negotiator and also provides in-house legal advice.

Just to be clear, no I'm not Charlie or have any connection with him, but a guy with an excellent resume, a broad range of skills and just as importantly for a football club CEO he plays well with others (and still only in his early 40s).

Move quickly I'd suggest Demons."

Yeah but people got a point score even if there was no point to score.

 

[NMBB]

Explain please

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Explain please

I didn't write that. It was a Swans supporter who thought/wanted Dee's to snap him up if he was to leave...over us presumably.

 

[sr36]

Hypothetically, you might be able to score a hypothetical point over a hypothetical point.

 

[anshell]

Good to finally have a football manager.I don’t know much about Gardiner,but from what you read he seems to be highly qualified and well respected.

Good - stiff sh$t Melbourne

 

[Vicky Park]

Good to have the GM role filled.

So, any more vacancies to fill? I’ve lost track - what about the position vacated by Bolton?
