New CEO, New List Manager

[Purpellian Anchor]

Seems a very good appointment ...well done board.

 

[Moonrat]

Crushed Brayshaw didn't get the job!

But good luck to Garlick, hope the feral WA media don't roast him and he doesn't get the chop too soon!

He’ll just breathe on the media ..

Simon is really impressive. Comes across as very intelligent, a good communicator and charismatic. He set the Bulldogs on track for a premiership so clearly he’s capable. Time will tell but I think we’ve made a good appointment.

 

[Sweetback]

He’s much better at reading out his speech than Justin was.

Luckily both were good at answering questions - that's the more important test. Liking everything I'm hearing - now keen to see it all in practice.

 

[Righteo]

A former CEO of a marketing firm being a better public speaker than a footballer? What an incisive observation.

 

[Monument Hills]

Can see why masten wanted to come to Freo when he heard the flavour was improving

 

[SHill Shall]

Yeah - although as we know Masten will chew on anything

And this matters in relation to JLo how?

 

[dockshark]

I was really impressed by his press conference, there is a real sense of genuineness in his delivery that I like. Seems as though there is a theme here of looking for value, principle based leaders with high emotional iq.

Really looking forward to what next few years will bring.

But they're both former footballers?

 

[Sweetback]

Jesus, everyone needs to chill out. This Hill stuff has you all tightly wound. I didn’t mean anything by it. If anything it does show you shouldn’t judge someone by the way they read off the page; it’s always easier/more natural to respond to questions off the cuff.

So from a pre prepared speech you gathered that?
It might pay to give him 5 minutes in the job before bringing out the glowing platitudes.

No, if you watch it the prepared speech is only a couple of minutes.

What impressed me was the way he handled himself through the questions, his body language and thoughtful considered responses.

Suggest you watch it for yourself.

Yes, positive but too soon to be glowing. Lets wait and see. Lets see if he has the ability to match Nissy and navigate Freo around it.

Match Nissy in his ability to ignore a drug problem that cost one life and ruined many others?

 

[Freo Shark]

Match Nissy in his ability to ignore a drug problem that cost one life and ruined many others?

Yes thats been a blindspot agreed.

Coat himself in a film of Teflon.

 

[Superkoops]

This doesn’t look like the former dogs CEO. He was certainly a bad smell at Adelaide though.

 

[fnerd]

Well yes, he is/was a former ceo of a marketing firm....I’d imagine presentation of oneself and by extension his business is a highly important trait for him

I have worked with numerous execs from marketing companies over recent years. Trust me, they don’t all come across like that.

Oh I,'ve watched it, the same cliches that are rolled out by all execs of all the clubs.
They roll out what we want to hear and we lap it up.
Show me something different that Garlick said that Rosich and his predecessors haven't already fed us.

You really don’t know what goes on behind closed door.

He's not talking about what he said but more the way he said it. Authenticity and emotional intelligence are pretty hard to fake. Like Dockshark said its in the body language, choice of language and the nuance of how things are said.
