Justin Reeves resigns

[Ned Ryerson]

2. The CEO only has to make the books balance, and occasionally speak publicly. He just has to say all is well financially and then shut up.

 

[hardway]

Okay then, that's generally how executive searches go - so the culture war comment was just pointless drivel then as I thought.

What did you think about the CEO appointment prior to Reeves? Was that the correct appointment?

 

[bigbuddyboy]

This is not a racist, homophobic or sex driven post.

Right yeah ok if you say so.

 

[number23]

This is good news. Reeves will be replaced “by a quality CEO”.

Anyone got Brian Cook's phone number?

Ahhh I knew we'd get there - the Gaudry appointment could ONLY be due to 'diversity' not because she had a relevant sports administration and executive level background that was deemed by the consultants in charge of the hiring to be worthy of the role. Yes - it was a subsequent disaster but you can find plenty of people here not impressed with Reeves and previously Kennett so I think gender isn't exactly relevant. But if you want to keep diminishing women getting roles in footy as solely being done for 'diversity' then have at it - it must be fun being so wilfully ignorant.

PS last post not a reference to you Tops and good news on the quality

Don't know what the facepalm is about. Businesses are being forced social procurement upon them to win work. May not be the case here. But a lot of rubbish is being pushed on to the workplace

First the immigrants take our jobs and then the women... The countries gone mad.

 

[Bugs1977]

Nah, go external. The more we start fresh the better after the last few years.

Agreed. We have almost always been successful doing it that way.

 

[Yardie]

Gowers saying just now that he wants to do everything in his power to reconcile Clarko with the club. Very hard to imagine him saying that if he has much confidence in the report. And Reeves gone.

Take this to the right thread.....oh wait.....to the main board......

I believe it is the right thread. Gowers was interviewed on the subject of Reeves’ departure.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

the stupid tweet from Jeff about Hardwick whilst also having an indirect dig just before the announcement of Reeves resignation.

hmm.

 

[Yardie]

Changed the club for the better? In what way?

Reeves was a big part of getting rid of a 4x premiership coach who was loved and admired by 98% of the players he coached. I don’t have a problem with Mitchell coaching but the way it was handled was messy to say the least.

Reeves also oversaw the cluster* of a review that made Hawthorn an embarrassment to the competition. He has also destroyed relationships in the club.

He was a dud

Not saying he wasn't but the players were the ones who came forward and said that the transition wasn't going to work. They were the catalyst for the early change.

Fair enough. I'll assume you take the players at their word.

It’s just woke nonsense that women make up 48% of the workforce but when they get a high level role want us to really believe that it was based on merit and not to appease the latte sippers.

 

[mcnulty]

Nope. Not until its tested.

 

[Yardie]

Nope.

Well let's hope Cyril doesn't come and read here then. We will never get him back to the club with people like you around.

Who said anything about Cyril?

 

[Flukey!]

When Caro said he would struggle to survive last week on FC, I was a bit surprised.
But she nailed it.

On reflection, few business leaders survive scandals or s**t storms

It seems the business of footy is a tough game.

My thoughts

1. The coach is the most important person at the club. Success on the field is the ONLY thing that matters, and the coach is the centre of all of that.

2. The CEO only has to make the books balance, and occasionally speak publicly. He just has to say all is well financially and then shut up.

3. The 1983 premiership has had a lot of publicity this year, but 2013 has not, it must be celebrated.

4. if this a step to reconciling with Clarko, then it’s the best thing that’s happened this year (apart from the great win last Sunday). How you can celebrate the 2013 premiership without him is beyond me.


Go Hawks!

Have some new thoughts.

Because that is.....

DEY TERK ER DERRRRK!

Oh thank god. I was worried for a minute there.

Just so you are aware. Cyril is an Indigenous person who played for the Hawthorn Football Club. He was responsible for raising the clubs awareness of some issues we had in the past that resulted in the club asking past Indigenous players how they were treated. He was the catalyst for the review.

Yes that’s interesting…the review gave the current Hawthorn a clean bill of health, even though Cyril and his wife said they didn’t feel comfortable here. Odd, isn’t it?

This part is beyond me too.
