I think the optimum tenure time for a CEO/President is now down to 5 years (used to be around 7 a decade or so ago).
Chapman has definitely been there way too long.

The AFC does not have a clear plan and vision towards the next flag - the mission statement is to be competitive.
One of the posters on here had that confirmed in a discussion with AFC senior management.
Walsh laid out a definitive plan - '2017, we expect to be challenging for a Flag.'
That mentality is no longer there, it is now, 'we aim to be competitive over the next few years.'
It's insane, right?
We were so close, and should've snagged at least one flag - and then we literally did everything we could to * it up.
Every single appointment since the death of Walsh has been a backward step - and almost every significant decision (ie, Collective Minds, Gibbs trade), has been a disaster.
We haven't shot ourselves in the foot - we've shot ourselves in the face; repeatedly.

That's some serious research there. Kudos! Then ... **KABLOOIE**
Caro on 5AA saying what a joke Chapman's interview was, and asking the same questions we are - if every one is 'elite' - why are we so s**t, and why do we need a review?
Rowey and Bicks not backing away from it either, which is nice.

Come on Rob. Time to stop embarrassing yourself.
The first time, when it happened, or the second time he promised it, when Essendon got their pissweak sanctions.

Rob is just incredibly lucky that he was involved with a club who have supporters who are so easily pleased (not all). How long would he have lasted at Hawthorn or Geelong?

Well you could have ******* told me before I did that research...
It was actually interesting reading the research you provided!

Rowe sort of went there when he said Chapman had pre-empted the review (Rowey reads my posts for sure) but he wasn’t strong enough.
For the chairman to say what he said about our football department, shortly before an independent review, is totally out of control.
Rowie is deluded. He thinks once we lose Chapman will come out on Monday and go hard.
Now why would he do the recent interview if that was his intentions? He would have just shut up until the following week.
No, they are now in full arse covering mode where this all is on the players. Which given the issue they’ve got with morale and player retention is so ******* dumb.
This club is run by a pack of selfish morons.

Yep.
Geelong's had the same CEO for 20+ years and two presidents over the same time.
West Coast's CEO has also been there 20+ years. Their COO has been at the club since 1993 and moved up to COO in 2008.
It's not about tenure - it's about the right person being in the role.

This!
Is one of the main reasons I started the thread. Chapman's pre-emptive strike said:
"I've been a great Chairman. Roo has been good enough to be the next great Chairman. Burton has been a great, soon-to-be-elite Head of Football. Pyke has our full support".
The ONLY conclusion is that the players have failed.
Events since the 2017 GF have slowly accumulated within me too, like the proverbial straw on the camel's back. GF loss/ Mind Kamp/ hamstring injuries/ lies-and-cover-ups/ 1st-to-12th/ NO sackings, same crap retained (Burton/Hass/Hart/Campo)/ poor development of youth/ losing game plan, and so on ... I'm starting to wish I supported another team which has never happened before.
Yet it's impossible for me to switch allegiance.
However, If I was brand new to the sport and was picking a club to barrack for, PORT Adelaide would probably be the last on my list
It’s a measure of the hopelessness being felt. I’ve wondered to myself whether it is truly possible to change teams. I thought about the Bulldogs, the animal which I have much affinity towards. I’d watch them play, learn who’s who but would the passion ever really be there and would I really be able to not want Adelaide to win. The Chapman and Fagan led Crows with their incompetence, spin and outright lies are forcing these questions.

The general feel of everything he said oozed blind arrogance and self-congratulation, to me.
He has to talk the club up, he’s trading on his name and his role as Chairman of the AFC is critical to him having any public profile whatsoever.
Roo can give the excuse he didn't fail as a player no wonder he can blame the players unless they play like him

I don't really understand the ideal tenure thing for coaches, chairmen or whoever.
Blight shone brightly but burned out quickly.
Sheedy won premierships 17 years apart.
Some people are great in a short time frame. Have an impact, shake things up, get a response. But people tire of them quickly.
Whereas others can reinvent themselves, foster ongoing relationships, find ways to keep themselves cutting edge. They can be there longer and have a positive impact.
There's no ideal tenure length for Chapman because he sucks.

Just needs to do a marketing degree and win 2 wooden spoons as coach in the WAFL to round out the CV.
If I was new to the sport and didn't know about Port being scum, the whole "we exist to win premierships" thing would sound pretty appealing. Even if they're s**t at it, at least the goal is clear. Far more appealing than our "make the 8 and anything can happen" and "website hits are up" bullshit.Events since the 2017 GF have slowly accumulated within me too, like the proverbial straw on the camel's back.

The leader of the bunch.
Doesn't sound like he's leaving in the immediate future. Rowey quizzed him about it yesterday. Apparently they review his position in November/December each year.
This is amongst the lowest points in the club's history... why isn't this guy gone.
