Laura Kane - Does Not Impress Me At All !!

[Teen Wolf]

Dillon fired a hawks ceo?

He and Gill (and others) were pissed about her appointment. And they wanted the Hawks president sacked for appointing her. Which is basically what happened four months later, when their concerns had been proven to be justified.

How long has Laura Kane had the job she's in now? Think it's about 16 months (including, whaddya know, four months essentially auditioning for the role).

It looks on linked in as though she got the boot after 1 month. I also think gill was the one that got Thorburn the Essendon presidents gig a couple of years ago.

I think Kane is safe though, her rise to the 2ic gig was too fast if anything.

AFL CEO conference meetings float radical ideas to transform fixture
-------------------------

What in the absolute word vomit is going on there?

The only good take out of it is an 18-game season where everyone only plays each other once before finals, then it all goes downhill. Wildcard rounds, in-season tournaments, participation medals for essentially meaningless games - GTFO.

18-game season is the best fixture equaliser of all time, alternating between home & away each year. But, it’s a lot less games and therefore money for the AFL doing that.

The Dillon & Kane legacy is off to one of the worst starts ever and it’s hard to see them doing anything to get some credibility back.

The wildcard weekend to make finals makes sense, all the other ideas are pie in the sky.

I heard he got rid of Biden as well

* checks team in profile *. uh-huh!

It's entirely detrimental to my team coz we'll get bundled out in that weekend and never actually make finals again.

With the caveat that the devil's in the detail, the idea of playing every team once and then your finishing position after that process determines your next step (finals, pre finals conference or whatever) is a VAST improvement on the current dogs breakfast of a fixture. I'd give this a tentative tick

Lord Lucifer, do you reckong young Laura's too soft or to hard in issuing McRae a warning rather than imposing the death penalty ?

 

[Fadge]

FMD.

Imagine if the clubs or supporters could issue the AFL with a 'Please Explain' for every stupid on field decision, or every stupid comment coming out of AFL House?

 

[VinnieB]

Fair enough. He should have not said anything. A coach should not be criticising umpires in public.

 

[lizard man]

Laura kane laying down the law …… I like it!

 

[Cleavy]

should change his name to "Craig Scott" to get out of paying

In favour of wildcard weekend, you're joking - checks posters club - of course, Essendon LOL

You get 23 games to get yourself into the finals, if you can't get in after all those games, just take early holidaze, like you are again this year.

Lol, coming from a crows fan that's great comedy, can't remember the last time you guys made finals, thought you'd be super keen on the idea.

Been fairly quiet recently but she's back ....... and as usual, not accepting any blame or acknowledging the ****-ups.

This woman is an embarrassment to the game, not because she is a woman, purely because she is a dud !

She's the sly and cunning manipulator and Dillon is the idiot goof who doesn't realise he's the fall guy.

Seriously this Dillon seems genuinely simple. he's been everywhere this week, obviously, but he comes across both dumb and dull.

 

[HairyO]

As a lawyer I assume she will be launching an investigation into Dillon's wife's comment about Bont on Monday night.

 

[Bjo187]

Dillon is equally as unimpressive at the moment. Just saw his interview on 360, mechanical and inflexible to any positive changes as usual. The blokes stuck in the past too much to be a good ceo.

I don't agree with the stuck in the past accusation. He's a modern man that treats his nissus as his equal. He even made sure she knew who was going to win the Brownlow as soon as he did

 

[mchal4]

• Umpiring (never been worse)
• Congestion (still a problem)
• MRO/Tribunal/Concussion (no direction)
• AFL Draft/Awards (compromised)
• AFLW (a mess)

The game runs itself

Ah. Can’t keep a secret. Nobody in football can so that doesn’t count against him

 

[Bjo187]

Just reflecting on this thread, the whole AFL admin and commission are pretty ordinary these days. They seem completely out of their depth and are even getting outdone by the NRL now (for deal making and innovation).

The three big wigs in Dillon, Goyder and Kane lack any presence and don't carry anywhere near the authority of the previous people in power. It needs a refresh, at a minimum the chairman needs to go, his been pathetic.
