I’ve had senior roles in top global orgs , know a bit about leadership Lloyd hasn’t lead an organisation he’s lead a footy dept bit like Blair Hartley , significant diff skill setI'm glad you're not either. Simon Lloyd is more than just an ex-footy player LOL, how about doing some research first. Hopefully it’s Lloyd so I can watch you melt.
Why better off ? That would be the case if we were a basket case ,the clubs never been in a better position since 1885 succession is what successful organizations typically do, it would t at all surprise if it were Matthew’s , I too will support whatever decision they make , some good heads involvedBetter off outside the club. Will support whoever gets it.
Just my view, I believe better someone outside the club but happy either way.Why better off ?

Based on what the top 3 candidates?Another boys club decision made by a club that has lost the plot and lost its hunger to be the best after drinking too much of its own bath water from the past era that should be a distant, but glorious, memory.
Club will be back in the wilderness for years.
Based on what the top 3 candidates?
Show me where it says that? All I read was he was fav, means nothing until it’s official. Even if that’s the case everyone deserves the chance if successful during the process.Simon Matthews has the job.
There was another article about it. Played for the U19 Carlton side before playing 80 odd games for Williamstown.Damn no mention of him playing VFL footy though ......
Successful organisations do promote from within but they do so from a long way off. Tim Cook wasn't announced out of the blue. He was already COO and was tapped on the shoulder to be the successor of Jobs.Why better off ?

That is completely untrue. Just because someone is successful doesn't mean they deserve a chance.Show me where it says that? All I read was he was fav, means nothing until it’s official. Even if that’s the case everyone deserves the chance if successful during the process.
Fair bit of hogwash in all of that , nothing of any substance, the fact he’s been 2ic in our org for some time is significant, did you miss the bit we are in the best shape the clubs been in since 1885 ,,,and ffs the fact we haven’t got a tall forward doesn’t come into itSuccessful organisations do promote from within but they do so from a long way off.

The one thing a lot of these successful organisations do with internal promotions is pull someone into areas were they will learn what they need to and then start a long hand over period.
Simon Matthews is the Chief of Marketing. For someone that is head of marketing his LinkedIn (his own personal brand) is woefully inadequate. It doesn't even have his history of employment.
Another thing that I would say is a black mark on Matthew’s head is the delay in decision. You can say "Well we wanted to do our due diligence and see what else is out there because we don't want to miss the best". Sure, that is an argument. The easy counter is that if Matthews was such a great candidate for an internal move, he would of started taking on more responsibility as soon as Gale had those early "I'm done" chats last year with O'Rouke. This would of lead to the announcement as soon as Gale said he was leaving. The fact that this didn't happen tells the world that whilst he may be considered now, he wasn't considered when it was critical.
Now you can reject that scenario. The only other real alternative would be that we have been asleep at the wheel the entire process. If this is the case then an internal promotion would be the worst thing we could do.
We should look to someone like Simon Lloyd (who has held a wide range of Football Roles) or someone who is already had CEO type positions at successful sporting organisations. A marketer is just a snake oil salesman with a more legitimate product but far worse morals.
How about you refute the claims with a counter argument? You're boxing with shadows as well. I never said anything about a tall forward.Fair bit of hogwash in all of that , nothing of any substance, the fact he’s been 2ic in our org for some time is significant, did you miss the bit we are in the best shape the clubs been in since 1885 ,,,and ffs the fact we haven’t got a tall forward doesn’t come into it

sub par fitness manager promoted from within
sub par 'nice bloke' presidential appointment from within
now another sub par from within appointment for ceo
