I swear I can see Chapman wince when the new CEO mentioned improving the football department. I can see how that meeting will go.
Fagan: "Why does David Noble have 6 different jobs?"
Chapman: "I wasn't at that meeting."

Forget NSW and QLD teams, it's the South African and New Zealand sides that are the Juggernauts in that comp !!!

If he's admittedly still learning the AFL environment, Port and/or North making a grand final would be the worst possible thing to happen this week. It would only suggest that making 5th/6th is good enough.
If there's one thing we don't need him to think, it's that.

Exciting times ahead for the afc 
On the way home from work thought I would do a lil Googling on the guy. My first impression before this was a positive one, purely as it was not Smart or Haysman.
But came across this article when he left the Brumbies and the parrallels towards what he did there and what our club needs done are uncanny.

The challenges facing us right now include
It is clear he is the number one choice when you see what he achieved at the Brumbies and what needs to be done at our club.
The other candidate that the SA Media and misguided Tealsters thought had the job has no proven record in any of these areas.

The challenges facing us right now include
- Negotiating a move of training facility, it is going to happen sooner than later.
- Improve our financials and sponsors to compete with the bigger AFL clubs, ie Collingwood/WCE.
- Change in Football Department staff/structure

Super 15's. 15 Teams.
Also another parallel to us.
We are based in a smaller town to our major rivals. Fagan has the runs on the board to work with that and not just compete, but beat the franchises from the bigger markets.
How many clubs turned kern down?
Was it 15 when it was 4 teams making the finals?

The Brumbies are the most successful Australian team in Super Rugby - having more success than the other four teams combined.
This looks like a brilliant pick up, and appears to want to repair the damage caused by Trigg, especially in member/supporter engagement.
Now to get rid of Chapman.

How shattered does Chapman look for the entire interview?
Did Fagan tell him his days are numbered before they walked in?!

Richmond, St Kilda, Melbourne..
If Cameron hadn't said he's going to GWS instead, Port would have too..
Just saw Fagan got named. I've been working at the ARU for the last few months and have had a little to do with him. He's a very impressive guy. He put the recently established NRC together with a couple of other executives with very little time and resources and has managed to put together a competition where all teams are financially viable (and forecasted to make a profit) which, while it might not seem like a huge achievement, the last time this kind of comp was tried, the ARU lost $5 million in a single season.
Very capable guy. I think this is going to prove to be a very astute hire by the Crows.

only for Mackay
wow thats really slops
I thought the same, looked demoralised..
Maybe hearing Fagan go bang after they couldn't bring themselves to say it for how long got him worried..

Just started watching the presser.
Big unit. Looks like he'd belt you if you got out of line. Chapman appears a tad nervous sitting next to him.

No, 12. Between 97 and 04 the Brumbies played in 6 final series (4 grand finals) for 2 flags. Finished top on 3 of those years. And after 04 were mostly just outside the 4 with a game or less keeping them out.
Changed to a final 6 in 2011 when it became 15 teams.
