New CEO, New List Manager

[go_the_dockers]

Didn’t he resign after losing Peter Gordon’s confidence? Not sure that’s a ringing endorsement.

Simon Garlick quits as Western Bulldogs chief executive, lost confidence of club board

Garlick quits, Dogs seek new chief

It is understood some Bulldog figures were unsure if Garlick, 39, was the best man to see the club through its next stage of growth.

Concerns centred over whether the former forward pocket had enough commercial experience after the board conducted a management review in the off-season.

“Simon’s decision to resign provides us with an opportunity to look at our management and rebuild that as well,” Gordon said.

Should be important to note that they kept him on the board after moving him on from the CEO position.

Its an interesting one to be sure

Edit: Was misinformed by Dogs supporters, came back later apparently

 

[fnerd]

Yeah if it’s true not sure what to make of his appointment.

Considering in brayshaw , Marvin and clement we had already 3 fantastic candidates... that said can someone actually confirm besides brayshaw that the other 2 applied?... or as is generally the case with ceo their candidacy is kept a secret??

I think he only came onto the board this year?

Couldn’t see clement giving up the seafood gig, he was one of the big promoters to raise the coin. Brayshaw ain’t leaving vicco

Can’t confirm Clement but given the media talk you’d have to assume that he had - since that’s where talk started.

Marvin was spoken about a lot on here and only media mention was someone saying we should target him - I think this was purely speculation.

however, can I confirm this. No

Was Footy Manager at the Bulldogs for 3 years and then progressed to CEO, went to a Brand Building firm called Bastion as CEO and now apparently to us. Good experience, should be ok.

That's more impressive in my eye. From the report above he was told they werent sure he had the commercial experience to continue on, so he went to a brand building agency to aim to get back into a CEO gig later on.

Yes he played some point in appointing the dumpster fire that was McCartney but they didnt win a flag in 2016 out of thin air, some points have to go to him for that.

Big no on garlic dogs were great in the late 00s
Garlic 2010 to jan 2015 dogs were a basket case
After he left they came good again

 

[ChimpaWompa]

they were a highly skilled but imbalanced and aging list pinning all their hopes on winning a flag in the late 2000s early 2010s. then the inevitable drop happened which isn't great but a lot of the real basket case stuff can be pinned on the coach I reckon. they also drafted really well during this period and played finals in 2015 didn't they?

Nice to know. Great bloke, but lacks a bit of commercial experience. Hopefully other members of the board can fill the gap.

 

[MadMundy]

Glad to give him a shot, welcome on board Simon!!

I’ve been hoping that the Bulldogs from that time provide a good blue print for us. Went close to a flag but then fell off a cliff, and then rebuilt over 4 years out of the finals.

I think they’re okay off field now too or perhaps it’s just that winning a flag means everyone ignores the finances for a while. All very interesting.

Only gossage running with this, no other media or Freo are talking about it.

A CEO aint a coach

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Yeah until something comes from the club I think we should all hold fire.

 

[RonnieRaven]

A CEO aint a coach

I understand but if your under qualified in commercial and don’t have the experience of being in a successful Football organisation it’s just a worry
Like jlo he’s been at eagles and pies that got close but never won like Ross

 

[Van_Dyke]

Yeah until something comes from the club I think we should all hold fire.

Or even just from a better source than Gossage

 

[JunglistPosse]

Gooch has a nice ring to it

 

[RonnieRaven]

Not fussed still pay my membership just a couple negative thoughts to expel before 2020 positive Pete takes over

he did say it was an exclusive. Not sure why someone at Freo would give a guy working for the West Coast media team an exclusive though.

When has this ever stopped anyone speculating on Big Footy?

 

[Sweetback]

Graham Lowe was a big reason the dogs turned things around a few years ago, and it’s no coincidence they went backwards when he left.
