The CEO role focuses on the business side of footy, I doubt GW is going to waltz in and immediately step on the toes of those in charge of the FD, it would make for an extremely rocky start for all parties involved.
What's interesting is the rumors around Wright / Ned going head to head over the CEO getting involved in footy matters.

If that rumor is true....then what you've stated would absolutely be what happens....unless GW can't help himself (like we saw at the Pies when he took every role on he could find).....
It will be an interesting watch that's for sure.

Wright could/will Suggest to Footy Department give Port what they want for Houston.

Done it in the past paying bit overs in Trades
Once again Dave, the CEO shouldn’t be involved in that stuff at all, he’d be immediately rocking the boat if he waltzed in and started interfering with the running of the footy dept.

Especially considering he’ll be reporting to the actual CEO, Cook. Imagine it “hey gents I know you’ve been planning for 12 months what we’re doing this offseason, but **** Collingwood we’re going to pull the rug out from under them just to prove some Pies Bigfooty posters right that I like to overpay for pro scout recruits”

The funny thing about all the people panicking over this is that he’s literally Cooks assistant right now up until he retires. As if he’s going to come in and start ordering around the FD when Cook is clearly already happy enough with how they’re operating!

Hahah you beat me to it!

You're overrating our future first. Yes it could end up pick 5, but with a heap of highly rated academy kids plus FA suddenly becoming more attractive as clubs are cashed up and giving huge deals, it's more likely end up pick 20+.
FYI the 2025 draft has:
  • Zeke Uwland GCA - Top 5
  • Daniel Annable BLA - First Round
  • Thomas McGuane COL F&S - First Round
  • 2nd Round Onwards
  • Beau Addinall GCA
  • Lachlan Carmichael SYDA
  • Wes Walley Jnr. WC NGA
  • Noah Chamberlain SYDA
  • Dylan Patterson GCA
  • Jai Murray GCA
  • Toby Whan FRE NGA
  • Basil Hart FRE NGA
  • Louis Kellerway RIC F&S
  • Charlie Banfield WCE F&S
  • Koby Evans WCE NGA
  • Kalani White MEL F&S and GCA
Obviously a lot can change over the next year though.

Look, don't put it past him. Us Pies BigFooty posters are astute judges.

I'd take Wes Walley pick 1 based on name.
 
Not outside the top 20 though is it?
Did you get that I said more likely than a top 5 pick - not that it will...

Anyway you've set yourself up to have a whinge if we get Houston, as the likelihood of getting Houston without spending our future first is incredibly close to zero.

Zeke Uwland really caught my eye. He's Harley Reid without the fend off. His ability to use his core strength to just shake off tackles was mouth watering, he kicked the ball 70mtr at one stage and 50 from a standing start. ****ing academies
