News Welcome to Carlton Steven Trigg

DEPARTING Adelaide CEO Steven Trigg will continue on at West Lakes in a limited capacity for a month before filling the vacant CEO role at Carlton.

Trigg has held the top job at the Crows for more than 12 years, and despite claiming in February that he had "unfinished business" at the club, he said the timing of the opportunity to join the Blues was out of his control.

Before joining Carlton, Trigg said he would seek to close several commercial projects for the Crows but wouldn't involve himself in any meetings or decisions that could amount to a conflict of interest, such as list management.

He said he had been thinking about the end of his tenure at the club more "over the past six months in particular" and, more recently, the lure of joining the Blues had proved impossible to ignore.

"A few weeks back an opportunity arose…[it] started to resonate and resonate more and more," he said.
"The pure logic in joining a great club in the form of Carlton, I just couldn't get it out of my head and it progressed from there.

Welcome to the best club in the land.

Ex-captain of Central Districts rejected as a player by Carlton 30 years ago. Get around him this time.

Not a bad idea to have some balance to the initial shock.

He can now be judged on what he does at Carlton. Definitely starting from a negative PR position, and the likes of Eddie McChins and Slobbo are having their digs about it already, but aside from choosing to take the jibes to get him in, Carlton are not responsible for anything Trigg has done in the past.

I only hope he treats the supporter base with more respect than he apparently did with the Crows supporters.

Trigg says he has learnt some lessons from his time at the Crows, hopefull this is one of them.

Having said that, our fans are a bit more loveable than Crows ones.

Well sure. Plenty of cuddly types on this board. Nobody here would say anything to upset Trigg.

I've been thinking long and hard about this decision to bring him in...

What I am interested in is following the players who wear the jumper and the team's performance.
Welcome to Carlton Trigg - anyone who pisses Robbo off can't be all bad...

 

[Bluella]

Fingers crossed he doesn't live up to the negative hype. Like the new prez, I don't know enough to form an informed initial opinion, but I haven't been encouraged by what I have heard so far.

Hoping Trigg makes some tough decisions considering where we are at on the ladder and teams like GWS on the rise. A few heads may roll but I am sure he will have our long term future in mind.
Boyd and Mitchell please!!!

You sure? Must be the way I read it.

Trigger happy.

He shouldn't be involved in our recruiting. McKay, and a stand alone list manager should handle that. I have no desire to see a new boy start making contract decisions on his own. He isn't Carlton just because he walks in the door.

Get working on membership, marketing, sponsorship and home ground ASAP Trigg.

 

[Quazza]

I still don't get this hiring. At all. But i've made my thoughts on it all pretty clear in other threads, so wont clutter this one with more negativity

so, PROVE ME WRONG STEVEN, PROVE ME WRONG....


(hey, it worked with Bryce)

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I've had my initial tantrum from shock, now I will reserve judgement until I see some action.

Good luck to him.

I could use this for just about every aspect of the club right now.

Meh, you say potato.............

Firstly welcome Mr. Trigg.

Secondly, we know he won't repeat the mistakes of the past, so that's not a problem.

Next: It's clear what is required at the CFC and his work will be visible by way of attracting more members and sponsors.

After that: He has the endorsement of the AFL. May come across as a bit of a boys club thing but nothing wrong with being cosy with the big house.

Maybe most importantly though is that he doesn't have any ties to the families (yet, at least) and will have the spotlight on him for some time to come. That's a good thing.

Pretty good article.

This part backs up what I was saying;

6. Leave the football to the football people
It's usually the case that the best executives are the ones you barely notice, not the ones who get their name in the paper every other day. Administrative meddling has gotten Carlton nowhere in a decade and given Trigg's current profile, it's probably better he keeps himself out of the spotlight once the introductions are out of the way. His business now is getting the Carlton Football Club back on its feet and giving the football department the resources it needs to thrive.

No. Her job is to destabilize and ultimately bring down the CFC. I read it right here.

 

[Jatz]

Welcome.

Has a lot to prove, can only hope that's a good thing.

Greg Denham on SEN was happy with his appointment as well.
