News Pav to Sydney as CEO

[Purple Jesus]

Hey Freo fans. Just curious if any of you know what Pav's CV is like? I figured if anyone knew (and might give a serious answer) it might be you guys.

He runs multiple businesses. He's not just a media hack.

 

[purplearmy]

Congrats to Pav. Wish him all the best.

Makes me sick that Pav is going to the Swans.

Why can't our club get its act together?

Because we're not in the market for a CEO and we don't keep Pav locked in a dungeon marked 'property of the Fremantle Football Club'?

Do you think Garlic is any good?

I rate Garlick very highly. I've heard him speak at functions. He's highly intelligent, a great communicator and he has a good football brain. From a business perspective we're in great shape. And don't discount his influence on our list management. I doubt Wallsy walks around with a blank cheque on who he can recruit.

 

[poshman]

Strange that he got the gig. Not sure he has the experience nor skill set for a CEO role

Nothing like the experience or skill set. Similar to Bell when he was made GM of footy. Playing the game and a media role is not experience. Neither is being a "founder" when you have no day to day role in business execution. Hope he and his family are well and that Sydney sucks.

Didn't people have a big sook on here that we only hired ex-freo when we had Bell and JL on board?

Yes and sometimes you miss on talented smart people.

 

[basashi]

What can we do to stop this? I havent seen a lamington drive for a while.

I doubt Wallsy walks around with a blank cheque on who he can recruit.

The only reason he doesn’t is because garlick knows he ll spend too big on the food caterers at marvel every trade period.

 

[chaosball32]

I will never recover from this.

I love it.

 

[WhoneedsMcLeod]

Good luck Pav and thanks for your loyalty and massive on field contribution to our Freo journey.
You are a champ.

 

[Deathly]

Would think Pav is still on the playing list after reading this thread.

Haha yeah true

I guess its the shock of it all

Pav is Freo Royalty.

He was our first true legend/superstar of this club.

He never left when he could have numerous times as a player didn't expect him to leave now.

I thought maybe down the track he would be the football IQ that would end up on our board.

I guess it happens all around the game.

Great all time players who play there career at 1 club then move to other clubs to be coaches.

Its just our 1st true experience of this in a different capacity as CEO.

That highlighted game that you’ve highlighted, who did they play & who won?

Well I am just a sport fan grew up in a League family that loved sport cricket, soccer & didnt mind Aussie Rules.

I was born in 1994 so basically the same age as the Dockers.

I played Aussie rules in 2005 for a year ironically it was the year the Swans won the comp.

I did cheer for the Swans very early on but they never captured my full attention.

I don't mind them and prefer them over GWS here in Sydney.

But i just liked Freo's jumper at the time watching them it was exotic the purple, red & green and the name Fremantle seemed cool. Probably around 2006/2007 was when i started to follow Fremantle more closely and jump on which was 12 or 13 years old.

Funnily enough my team in the NRL is Parramatta which is where my heart is through family roots so naturally you would think i be a WC fan from that if i basing it on colours.

Just like the name Fulham in the EPL seemed cool i didn't realise or research they were rubbish or average like Fremantle just attached to them.

Outside of NRL where i didn't have a choice i didn't choose other sporting teams growing up that were automatically successful.

My 4 sporting teams i support the most (Parramatta, Fremantle, Fulham, Miami Dolphins)

A nice blend of mediocrity, rubbish, underdog, frustration & rare joy.

Fremantle look the closest atm to finally winning something. And i have been cheering them long enough now to feel the same satisfaction as i would once Parramatta break there drought as well.

Love it ... good on ya

 

[Sully90]

Haha at least he has experience in coaching and within a club

Pav has a token commerce degree and boundary rider

Doesn't Pav have an MBA as well?
