News Chris Davies departs for Carlton

[agmsy]

Chris Davies has gone from zero to hero on this board in 12 months.

We've now returned to our regular scheduled programming.

Feel like this thread needs more love. Way out of his depth!

Been in charge of the football department since the end of 2014...not much good has happened since then.

Good bump.

Realistically, if you look at all our deals we've overpaid and under received in trades for years.

The one thing we've done well is lure players and secure FAs but that won't continue at the current rate.

 

[Macca19]

Needs to get us 4 top 10 picks from this position to make this significant list change at all worth it.

Hopefully the 2 new ones come before pick 6.

I want Burton also.

But even then, despite all the big name recruits, none of them have actually resulted in us being a better team, so I'm not even sure that can be seen as a positive.

Started with giving Matthew Lobbe a lifetime contract despite Ryder coming in, so.

 

[Power Raid]

Seems like we are aiming to dig deeper in 2019

Chris Davies vs Peter Rhodes and I take CD all day every day. Keep the faith

Chris Davies vs Peter Rhodes and I take CD all day every day. Keep the faith

Genuinely curious to know on what basis you make this assessment. What are his key objective achievements to date that make you think he's doing a good job?

Could not agree more .. have had several conversations with CD ... CD and co know what they are doing...

 

[Magus]

Where's GremioPower at?

 

[RossFC]

So CD are you an SANFL plant or one of us? Show us "the signal".

Nah that was Rohde's final deal.

CD was appointed in August 2014 but joined in November and he worked as Rohde's assistant learning the ropes for 6 weeks or so and he tagged along to the national draft and PSD and rookie draft before Rohde officially left some time in December 2014. From the OP of the other Davies thread.

PORT Adelaide is excited to announce SANFL general manager – football Chris Davies will join the club in early November as general manager – football to replace Peter Rohde who announced last week he was leaving the role in December.

Again, generally curious to know on what basis you make this assessment. He may be a great conversationalist but what objective KPIs could he possibly be meeting as the head of a grossly underperforming football department?

 

[badbeats]

Ken knows how to talk too, maybe they can both quit and join the public speaking circuit.

Whatever the timeline of Rohde properly leaving, the deal doesn't get done without Davies' ultimate say-so.

You'd hope.

Rohde would have done the negotiations. It would have started before the Doggies offer for him and accelerated after that. Davies would have sat in on the negotiations but it was Rohde who put the deal together. Davies as 2nd banana wasn't going to say no to it.

Dogs offer was in 2015, after Lobbe was re-contracted.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Dogs offer was in 2015, post-contract.

Ok I got the 2 years mixed up, but it confirms my thought that a 4 year deal was put together over a longer period and not rushed as I posted previously, so Rohde would have driven negotiations over several months, not Davies over 2 weeks.

 

[S.Patrol.G]

I rate Chris Davies, even if he does use his phone while people are talking.

 

[PowerBaz]

I like what we are doing. Thumbs up.

 

[GremioPower]

Where's GremioPower at?

Watching from afar.

 

[wannabejack]

Watching from afar.

Is that the Afar region of Ethiopia?
