12 months in. Dogs hgone through 2 CEOs in 12 months. Prez known to interfere. Gordon causing problems again?

God I hope the AFL just buy us a CEO and we can forget about all this. Just focus on football at the moment.

Gordon causing problems again?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a damn mongoose.

It could be that very rare animal - the monduck.

What other problems has he caused? And if you're referring to the odd comment in the media, that would be laughable.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, what else could go wrong this week.

 

[JeffDunne]

They need a Peter Gordon in Brisbane.

I dunno about problems, but he does have a reputation for being pretty 'hands on' as a President. Kinda like Jeff was for us I guess (or Ian Dicker maybe?). There are times when you need the President to be like that, when the whole Griffen/McCartney stuff played out I thought Gordon did really well in managing that and coming out the other side. It wouldn't surprise me though if he struggles to step back and let senior execs do their jobs, which gets frustrating pretty quickly.

Nothing wrong with Gordon being hands on, there's a lot happening at the Dogs and he's directing it.

But there does need to be an endgame for him and the club otherwise either things will get stale or he'll become too big for the club.

This Stevenson bloke had 20 years at Nike which is impressive and obviously it's a massive company. Otherwise though he didn't seem to have a heap of experience. It's always hard for AFL clubs to find executives with the right mix of outside industry experience, time in the AFL or sports industry and the right qualifications.

If I were a Bulldogs fan I wouldn't be too worried but I'd like to know why Stevenson quit - and if it was to do with bad practices or just personalities. Then I'd like some reassurance from Peter Gordon about the long term plan.

The ambulance chaser claimed another victim?

Hasn't been a great few days at the Kennell.
Things seemed to be going well under Stevenson between record membership, Ballarat ticked off and the women's team (Alberti deserves most/all the credit for the women's team).

Any ideas on replacements?

Maybe Ted Whitten junior?

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

The Prez does seem like a git

Is Franco Cozzo available for the gig ?

At this rate they should just appoint Gordon as CEO, he seems to be trying to do the job anyway might as well make it official.

"Despite the promising on-field performances the club remains mired in more than $10 million debt."
LOL

 

[grouse mate]

Not great timing. Will be hard to gloss this one over because the guy relocated from O/S to take the role. Must be something big.

Like you wouldn't kill for anyone to use the phrase "despite promising on field performances" when discussing Richmond

Hilarious.

Forgotten about the 'Fighting Tiger Fund' just a few years back?

Nah they would be emphasising the word PROMISING!

Not at all? We weren't 10 Mill in debt then though.

What did Franco Cozzo say when he stepped in a can of grey paint?



"My foot is grey"

No debt, good facilities, still can't attract any players to your club. LOL

Guess we all can't have a bazillion members like the Tigers.
Because we all know that's the number that means the most to you guys down at Punt Rd.
