We have been so well lead for 3 decades thanks to Peter Gordon and David Smorgan. It’s a very strange time in AFL football now, I obviously hope she does well.
I know this has next to nothing to do with the Bulldogs but I love Star Wars and after a rocky start with Disney, this week the Mandalorian just finished and was by far the best thing Disney has done since buying Star Wars. She’s had a mighty week then.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Great choice!

No negatives in this news.

 

[Bro_Pro]

Ha! Yeah well there you go!!

 

[Northernsoul74]

Bit like the Varcoe coaching decision, I have no opinion on it because I would have no clue if she “can president” as much as I have no idea it Varcoe can coach. More qualified people than me entrust her, including Peter Gordon, so that’s good.

 

[dogwatch]

Welcome KWW. Yo-Jimbo will be rejoicing at the ascendancy of the hyphen in 2021 (first JUH, now KWW).

I wonder what initiatives she might take to put her own stamp on her presidency. Or will it be steady as she goes?

I've had dealings with sports administrators outside of the AFL bubble who have been impressed with her in meetings.
Very complimentary of Gordon and KWW. Everybody knows how good an operator Bains is.
Rechter.... not so much.

Hoping that Bont is in Mando season 3 now

Very impressive of her to film such a passionate, unscripted, inspiring speech from the heart. Brought a tear to my eye hearing the raw emotion in her voice.

Wowee. Another true bulldog. In 1959, my grandfather also made a box for me to stand on.

 

[Chicago1]

Very impressive introduction as President. Things seem to be going swimmingly at the moment at the WO.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Kylie Watson-Wheeler is numbero Uno or in short WW1.

Playing at Marvel Stadium and having Disney Plus as a sponsor has a certain symmetry to it, too..

Very impressive of her to film such a passionate, unscripted, inspiring speech from the heart. Brought a tear to my eye hearing the raw emotion in her voice.

Replace ‘Bulldogs’ with ‘Disney’ and ‘Peter’ with ‘Walt’ and it’s the exact acceptance speech she used for her other job.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Wowee. Another true bulldog. In 1959, my grandfather also made a box for me to stand on.

Thats a bit fancy. All I got to stand on was a mound of graven topped with the empty cans that my grandfather had consumed.

[Scary_Foot_9]

Gotta lol at the emphasis on MARVEL STADIUM. Corporate synergy is a hell of drug.

Anyways I think she is very impressive and will do a great job.

 

[bullish23]

Great we have groomed someone for the role. Show‘s we are a smart organisation with succession planning an important feature of how we operate.

It’s a massive job, and I wish Kylie all the best, with our full support.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Copy Cats.

Yeah but we were first with AFLW

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Copy Cats.

Yeah but she grew up supporting our club, she isn’t some American implant.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Another great bonus of her appointment is we should have access to the Disney corporate secrets. Finally the mystery of why Goofy wears pants but Pluto doesn’t will be revealed to us and us alone. Oh happy days.
