Gillon McLachlan's meeting with the Lions and the end of Holmes

[MacMum]

Caro on 3AW reckons that Carlton are going for Trigg and that Swann is deciding between us or Racing Victoria.

Will depend if he likes a challenge I guess.......otherwise, Racing Victoria would be a plum job imo.

 

[chopperduck]

Not one to crucify a bloke over one mistake but Trigg going to Carlton would be epic for the cheating Carlton lulz.

It's that particular skill that is the reason they are chasing him. They like the cut of his jib as it were.

 

[POBT]

I love my footy but if I were Swann, I'd take the racing job in a heart beat.

Maybe. I would choose the one less corrupt and fewer questions of "What did you do to fix it?".

 

[chopperduck]

No doubt that he will be getting a nice bonus from the AFL on top of his salary to come to us. He does not strike me as the kind of guy to stay on as a 10 year CEO. Could be an easy little cash making venture for him, as well as increasing his rep if the club gets turned around.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Richard Griffiths is the man according to this article that just popped up on twitter.

Wtf? What do people think of him?
Edit: No Quotes, so depends.

I don't think it would be easy anything turning around the clubs fortunes. It's a big ask and if he does it and moves on quickly, then you still have to be grateful.

 

[James North]

"The Brisbane whom?"

Interesting that the first we hear of it is via "sources at The Lions" telling a Gold Coast Bulletin reporter.

 

[Skoob]

western royboy , Sure your source didn't say "Over the Lions"?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Hammo gets his man

If true gives us a heads up on possible KPF's/contracts/possible delistment options, No?

 

[The Golfing Lion]

If true it seems a safe appointment. I hope he is better than our last draft, we need him to be.

It makes me sick that people are inferring the Suns job is more appealing.

 

[Ceebee]

Griffiths would be ok..AFL man through and through. Plenty of experience.
Could do worse.
My preference would be Marcus Ashcroft but he appears to be well entrenched in the Suns sadly.
Always was a Gold Coast boy.

 

[Hollow Knight]

A genuine footy person with connections to AFL House and experience in developing markets.

Ticks boxes. Lets get to work!

 

[MacMum]

Hope we haven't blabbed too early on this, and miss out again......or should I say stuff up again.

Could be a strategic leak by the Lions to a gullible journo to give Swann a sense of urgency.

 

[Flossie32]

I thought Swann was OS on hols at the moment so how people are saying "we believe this is happening" just makes me laugh. Seems like media trying to keep public interest in this topic up. Has Griffith's quit yet for a holiday too? That Gold Coast bulletin article concluded the same way as Greg Davis article earlier with"clouded Greg Swann's tilt at the Brisbane posting."

 

[Skoob]

Actually I was just wondering if it might be a strategic leak to rattle the cage at GC. (Dunno why), but The Bulletin??? Just seems odd to me.
Hammo or Davis would surely be first to know locally, and even more likely that we'd hear out of Melbourne first.

 

[Flossie32]

Well the journos must be getting fit from all this exercise "jumping to conclusions"

I guess if you are going to take a journo for a ride for strategic reasons, it wouldn't be wise to burn your hometown journos.

I'm just spitballing though.

Just tweeted Greg Davis for his response. Don't expect anything, but you never no.

Well it was quicker than I expected, but got the response I would appropriate from Steele.

 

[jackess]

Steele is awesome.
