Welcome Hawthorn appoints Tracey Gaudry as its new CEO

[MasterSamurai]

her appointment has nothing to do with anything but her 'credentials'. welcome aboard.

 

[Dave Id]

Just to let people who are still in the 1960's:

1. The Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria

2. The Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia

.

John Winneke

If this was a male appointment we would be all gushing over the CV, instead we have a highly qualified female with this same CV and there are some on here that seem to think that the appointment only could have happened as a result of gender tokenism or PC, bugger me dead we have some real numpties on here.

I can also most see the media's next angle.... the next time Clarko let's lose over something everyone will be jumping up and down saying that the new female CEO can't control the raging and violent senior coach....

Oh it won't be from a certain chief football writer of the AGE though, that I can guarantee.
Gee if Wilson did criticize the lack of leadership of the CEO, she'd prove to all & sundry the hypocrite that she is!

I missed the live interview on the HFC web site.
Does anyone here have a link to a replay possibly please?
Cheers if you can help.

Will be up on the HawksTV part of our website later apparently. Not there as of yet.

wow, the idea that Hawthorn Football Club would hire anyone in such a critical role as some kind of a political statement, rather than because they consider them to be the best person for the job is kind of mind-blowing. Pretty sure HFC would be more in the business of advancing the interests of HFC rather than waging culture wars, no?

Good pick

Yeah but I'm keen to see it just have to wait.
Cheers 89

People's capability for dumb thinking never surprises me but constantly disappoints me. I'm one of those cautiously hopeful but ultimately always vindicated misanthropes.

The fact that you of all people are saying it's a good pick should be enough to dispel any doubt it's a good pick .

 

[Kuuz]

Cue press release later this arvo saying that our new CEO has decided to take up an exciting role with the AFL






NB: Jokes aside - Good appointment - needed desperately considering the hole we are falling into

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I'm equally impatient! Particularly after the good reviews.

 

[Billyc]

Some real idiocy (and other issues) on display in this thread.

Tracey's CV looks good and I trust the board to have picked the best candidate after a long and thorough process. The fact the media had no idea who we would appoint goes further to the fact that the HFC is a closed shop to media (which infuriates them)

 

[Qlder_19]

For those negative thought gatherers wait till the end of the press conference to reinforce we have a wonderful CEO congrats again

 

[Satchel]

looks like the best applicant won the job

what is the problem?

The problem is that it's 2017 and some people still honestly can't believe that a woman can achieve something on merit and that there isn't some evil PC conspiracy afoot when a woman gets given a position of power.

 

[eldorado]

Great appointment.

Not overly happy with the lengthy time frame, but great appointment...

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Does anyone know what pick we gave up for her?

Hopefully wasn't our 2018 1st pick .

 

[Pessimistic]

Again we see the media was spinning so much aimless shit

 

[Pessimistic]

Mate, you're not going to win over the 'this is just PC nonsense' crowd by naming magistrates. They're the ones responsible for all the crime in Victoria remember.

I get this 'record levels of crime etc" you can name a time when the whole country was 80% criminal

John Winneke

Good pick, Hawthorn Premiership ruckman and former Chief of the Victorian Court of Appeal.

Not a female, though.

 

[Thaihawk]

Now we can move forward, excellent

The only way forward now is up!

Don't be stupid. Hawthorn is just a lefty club with a left agenda.

 

[offtherails9]

Lol it's ****ing 2017 and people still aren't over the male/female thing? I thought that was done a while ago..

Great resume and look forward to some success under her at the Hawks!

I hear we don't vaccinate our players, unlike the Bummers who inject their gatorade

 

[Flag08]

It's Tracey btw, not Tracy.

Mods can we fix the title?

Trace is Ace....
