Now he has taken us to the top, and has the club stable will Brian move on. Vlad looks like he is going to leave the top job. Surely cookey will be a shoo in for it.

I would have no problem with that. He was been wonderful for our club and who would begrudge him of another serious challenge in which i'm sure he'd excel.
 
I would hate to lose him, but I think he would be the odds on favourite to take the job. He almost had it when Vlad got it, but wanted to 'finish' business at Geelong...

The talk from inside the club is that cooky felt indebted to geelong until they won a premiership, I am now hoping like hell he has settled in enough to want to stay on. There is no doubts his talent as a sporting administrator is recognized australia-wide and has and will continue to field job offers much bigger than the GFC.

He is an administrator that is impossible to replace.
 
From Sportal. Looks like it was a load of BS

Demetriou staying put

AFL Chief Executive Officer Andrew Demetriou has denied he is set to step down from his position, and said he is very much looking forward to 2008.

A report on The Bulletin website suggested that the AFL head was set to step down from the position he took up in 2003. The report said the AFL was searching for a new CEO after Demetriou told the AFL commission he wanted to step away.

But the 46-year-old denied he was considering leaving his position and said he remains committed to the AFL, despite suggestions he was looking for a quieter life.

"I have no intention of resigning my role and I was not contacted at any point for the story that has been produced," Demetriou said.

"I am looking forward already to the 2008 season and the work that myself, our executive team and our staff will need to do with our 16 clubs to match such an outstanding result we have just posted this year, with all-time records in attendance, participation figures and club membership numbers," he said.

Demetriou took over the job in September in 2003 from Wayne Jackson and has overseen some of the AFL's biggest-ever financial deals, including the landmark $780 million broadcast agreement.
 
Should have become CEO instead of Vlad, but glad he didn't. I think he might - shock horror - actually enjoy life at Geelong. He and the team get along well and he can pretty much do his own thing. Certain the guy will never have to buy a beer again in Geelong.

I bet he's glad to have left WC.
