I watched this show last night and she avoided answering every question they threw at her.

If that is the best she has to offer, then she is just in the job for lip-service, sadly there is no substance to the woman.

Isn't that what an AFL executive does?

My favourite quote of hers was when she said they needed a greater diversity amongst the umpires...

 

[tropicaltiger]

players can go for a specky knowing that they are going to crash heads = no problems

ten seconds later when asked if a suspended player was unlucky as it appeared incidental/accident/unavoidable contact and player was flung in his path = we must protect the head at all costs

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Her answer around Hewetts punch was embarrassing too. Quite clear it slid up Neales shoulder upon contact so she could have just said that but instead she spun some drivel about contact around the stoppage being legal but off the ball it's not...lunacy.

 

[Lockyer24]

Early days but I think she is a gun, and she will be the next in line for the top job.

 

[Rich01]

Needs time but has been a shaky start.

Shouldn’t have to be answering to all umpiring and mrp decisions though. Her remit is too big to get involved in all of it.

Not a fan of the draw she signed off on though. That’s a big miss early.

Player movement and Tassie draft compo should be big on her agenda this year. Critical she gets this right for the new team and the rest of the comp.

 

[citizen-erased]

Hewett fine was silly but thats on the MRO
And maybe he's sick of wasting his time with Carlton and their lawyers

 

[ToreadorMarch]

Clearly an outlier here, but I couldn’t be more impressed with how she presents and talks about the game from her role so far.

Here to stay? AFL to look at bringing back Opening Round for future seasons

“It's created excitement that we wish we could bottle for the whole year.”

if fans are so desperate for their footy fix, then Round 1 would have done the same numbers regardless of if Opening Round/Round Zero existed.

My favourite quote of hers was when she said they needed a greater diversity amongst the umpires...

Was an odd choice of words, someone holding a gun in the shadows

 

[Tandy]

She had me off side pretty quickly last season. The way she came in trying to throw her weight around acting like she was some type of saviour. it's the whole "respect is earned not given" not from her peers but the fans
Yeah she worked her way from clubland but the general fan had no idea who she is.
Has no regard for the game of Aussie rules. It's all business.
All Imo

 

[SGBeach]

Maybe her job is not important at all? and others are making the decisions while she's just presenting them..
I couldn't believe the AFL hired her after her performance at North, taking them to the wooden spoon and keeping them there (not all her doing, but she played her part)

Yeh it was a pretty bland interview, they never quite pressed her where they could have, perhaps an understanding they didn't want to go to far in the first interview.

Also she basically said:
-they won't change rules during the season (unless it was a significant safety issue)
-they will remove the warning for the 6-6-6 rule this coming off-season

Will be watching those two things closely to see if her words carry any substance

 

[juss]

My favourite quote of hers was when she said they needed a greater diversity amongst the umpires...

Yeh I queried that a bit, what we need is a greater quality and consistency among umpires, in whatever way shape or form that takes place. But of course it'll be the PC priorities that take precedence over positioning umpires based on merit...

 

[juss]

Also I really wished they pressed her over this bullshit of removing AFL player weights, which IMO is completely driven by removing them in the women's game as more important but they need it to he the same across leagues to avoid being called out

 

[footy75]

who?

 

[KiwiRoo]

Clearly an outlier here, but I couldn’t be more impressed with how she presents and talks about the game from her role somfar.

I thought she was very good too

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Just another one from the VAFA-AFL purple circle. The fact she’s a woman is a bit of a cover for that, people focus on it, when it is irrelevant. What matters is the AFL continues to be run and handed down among a tight little circle of people who have a very limited set of skills and experience.

 

[Spirit Level]

My favourite quote of hers was when she said they needed a greater diversity amongst the umpires...

Diversity at the expense of finding the right people for the job

God I love this world we now live in

 

[HairyO]

The easier challenge is: Who was the last genuinely good AFL exec?

 

[StillAtLarge]

I saw the interview, typical lawyer waffle. Not sure how any of this actually relates to how good she is/will be in her role though.

My favourite quote of hers was when she said they needed a greater diversity amongst the umpires...

Laura should go work for Disney she's joined the woke movement.

How about spending more money improving the umpiring first.

Shes very PC heavy. God help us all off she sticks around and becomes the successor to Dillon. She's a bit out of her depth now let alone the top job.
