News New CEO: Tim Silvers

[Mutineer]

anyone watch the presser? Anything interesting said?

Starts around the 4 minute mark

Very good appointment. At least will shut the neighsayers down for a bit.

Has Redhorse said something?

 

[BRL121]

Agree with other his Harvard degree makes him hot property

It's not a degree and he isn't therefore a graduate, but I guess you knew that.

Hung like a horse. Lucky him.

New coach, new CEO, new chairman, new footy ops manager.

Looks like the previous ones weren’t doing such a great job after all.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Now can we have the best football program?

I don’t see how that’s possible when we fired the elite football ops manager.

 

[Slippery Pete]

No chance. The Negative Nellies will always be Negative Nellies. People like our resident troll moderator will always continue to slag off at the club, at any & every possible opportunity.

If being correct almost all the time is trolling, then yeah he’s a massive troll.

There's too much yellow in our ties

Tone it down a notch

We're not selling ice creams

 

[Slippery Pete]

You've been on this board for long enough to know that's an unlikely event....and they might not like you referring to them as equines even though they do spout a lot of horseshit at times. (naysayers)

I love how you people who’ve been wrong about everything for about 10 years running come in after a club-wide cleanout as if that doesn’t highlight everything you were wrong about.

The chairman had been trying to leave for about 2 years prior but couldn’t find a suitable candidate to replace home. Fagan did a good job financially and probably thought it’s time to a new challenge in life. Change in Footy ops and coach came out of the external review. I wouldn’t say they were all doing a bad job...

 

[Slippery Pete]

You just can't help yourself, can you? You're always looking for something to b*tch and moan about, when it comes to the AFC.

That sarcasm detector of yours is firing on all cylinders again I see

You people...as compared to those that shitcan the club for everything.

No, we shitcan the club over things they deserve to be shitcanned over.

 

[CrowinNT]

Trivial priority one
Get everyone mic’d up at pressers so frustrating that one can’t hear the questions being asked

 

[Mutineer]

LOL

The club's done plenty wrong in the last 3 or 4 years, but it's just sport for some on here to shitcan even the most insignificant things...

The tie post was a gag, c‘mon now, don’t turn into Rain Man Vader.

Thought the speech by Olsen was very good. Much better than Chappie. Tim seemed very nervous, so not your natural media front. He'll find his feet.

It was a general reference not to that particular post....c'mon you're smart enough to have worked that out.

John speaks well and says all the right things. Esports and Baseball will be gone very soon. Tim ticks all the boxes for a new CEO.

 

[Scorpus]

Remember when Rucci said the most likely candidate was Essendon's CEO, who has presided over some of their worst ever years?

And we ended up with a solid operator from successful club Hawthorn instead?

Fun times

Hey it’s not like we came last, geez

 

[Vader]

Hey it’s not like we came last, geez

Except that we've seen the same behaviour, from the same posters, regardless of whether we were finishing minor premiers or wooden spooners. There is no correlation between ladder position and posts from these "supporters" shitcanning the club.

What a surprise to see Rucci put 2 and 2 together and got 5.

Then there are humourless individuals like yourself who take everything way too seriously. Like when you thought Ned needed defending because I said he had skinny legs. "Well can YOU run a marathon?".

 

[BrissyCrow]

I canned my membership because I wanted change and it looked like wouldn't get it. With the announcement that Fagan was leaving I decided to renew my membership. Todays announcement I think is another step in the right direction. I like that we have gone for a non South Aussie person and I like that Sivers comes from a successful background in Hawthorn. But one of my personal requirements was that he /she had a strong footy ( and I mean real footy) background. So I am very hopeful that we are truly heading the right direction. Perhaps there still needs to be a few more people to be cleared out like Roo but I will stay hopeful and make a judgement next year when membership is back up for renewal.
