Hawthorn sack CEO

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

PC brigade will be here shortly blasting "misogynistic", "bigot" and other choice buzz-words at people.
Impossible that a female just wasnt right for the role without their being some hidden agenda.
Keep fighting the good fight, hold those pitchforks and torches aloft people.

I'm happy to be labled as a sexist, but if putting the AFLW application first ahead of dingley took even 1% performance away from the men's team then she rightly has been sent packing

 

[Mister B]

The article on the Age implied people involved in cycling were surprised she was selected.

In fairness the age wouldn’t know a push bike from a motorbike.

I believe it has something to do with the AFLW application, she put the Dingley project on the back burner and went hard at the AFLW application which failed miserably.

Damn it, a Hawthorn scoop I have not broken!

The AFL is playing with fire by putting on this facade that it cares about women's football and LGTBI issues.

At the end of the day, the AFL are playing these cards to secure Government Grants/Concessions and the like.

Interesting day. Her Athletics Australia background is interesting too, David Grace QC tried to play both sides of the fence in the Essendon case.

Regardless of whether you have a penis or a vagina, if you want the big bucks, you have to perform. That is being non-discriminatory and Corporately Responsible. The AFL is playing this Social Engineering issue too it seems...

 

[Sttew]

Remind me - who was sacked?

 

[wagstaff]

I know these are superficial and minor things but judging by her Twitter feed she didn’t seem that engaged in the role. Seemed to have more tweets about cycling than Hawthorn (or AFL) and in her bio she just says ‘Hawthorn Football Club’ (and her cycling past) without even mentioning she was actually CEO. And the only time she seemed to be directly tweeting about the Hawks was the AFLW bid so the theory she became too focussed on that does seem valid.

Remind me - who was sacked?

Tracy Spicer

 

[Scotland]

I say promote Commercial Manager Anoop Singh. What a name.

 

[Art Corvelay]

F*** up clown.

Stop oppressing me from having my opinions and showing your blatant bigotry against clowns

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Hawthorn the new Richmond?

Well they do have Vickery!!

 

[citizen-erased]

Nah just love seeing people go on witch hunts.

like when they presume some form of agenda, then bang on about it with zero appreciation for nuance or reason?

Nothing worse when they pre-empt before it even happens too........

 

[citizen-erased]

Remind me - who was sacked?

5 months in, can't say too much for the Hawks' off-field achievements this year....or most years really, but they had flags to fill the void.

No finals, No off-field success, Losing the unlosable Rising Star......something had to give.

Likelihood is she wasn't good.
AFL, Hawks internal and external feedback poor - something tells me it was a poor appointment.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Some pretty disturbing photos from her past have emerged:

rofl

We have two f**king saboteurs running our club.

 

[purplearmy]

How it usually goes:

- I'm a strong, independent woman and want to be treated equally.
*gets sacked*
- You can't do this, I'm a woman!

This has zero to do with gender and everything to do with competency.

 

[HawkMongrel]

She had one job to do.

Destroy us?

Poor appointments happen all the time. People sometimes say one thing in interviews and do something else on the job. I reckon she was more interested in the AFLW bid at the expense of the core business with the mens team. Or she was just terrible, that happens too and 5 months is enough time for people to be really sure.

You'd hope not, but I have that suspicion too.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Naomi Robson was sacked? But she's a pro

 

[JVseven]

That's what you get when you attempt to be all PC.

yep.
5 months and consistent poor feedback isn't going to bode well.
esp when there are some strong candidates out there to replace them.

Add to that, the hawks are entering a wilderness period now.
Off-field success is going to be critical to their fan-base staying energised
As a supporter of a club that got this stuff terribly wrong a few years back, it's importance can't be understated.

 

[TW Sherrin]

hire a person from outside footy.......then sack her for a lack of footy knowledge..


sounds legit.

 

[Beerfish]

I won't know what to think about this until Caroline Wilson tells me.

So why try and make it about that?

I take it you're just another typical conservative ?

 

[purplearmy]

Leftists are obsessed with gender, race and sexuality. I'm getting in before they do.

 

[TerryWallet]

According to reports, people at Hawthorn and the AFL weren't happy with her.

Andrew Newbolt was the driving force behind Dingley. Now on the AFL Board.

Did she take her eye off Dingley? Did she get in the way of people making money?
