Steve Hocking Gone

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Taking over from Brian Cook as CEO of Geelong... Not sure if his tenure would be considered a success.

 

[Jaeger]

Good riddance.

Don't think it should be allowed, would have plenty of knowledge about the other clubs. Should be a 6-12 month break for any AFL executive to work at a club

Well done to Geelong for getting him though

 

[Whiskers]

Good news for us AND the AFL.

He has to be stood down immediately, right? He cannot possibly continue in his current role to the end of the season.

What knowledge would he have ?

Agree the conflict here is massive, but could say the same about anyone that comes out of AFL house or say AFLPA

what, so all these rubbish rules he has made up in the last 3 or 4 yrs will be changed back, if yes, you beauty, you can contest for the ball and knock out as many players as you feel like as long as you are within 5 mts of the ball, decent footy again!!!!

 

[Xtreme]

Good riddance.

And the crowd goes wild.

He spearheaded a dire period and the changes he implemented have sent the game backward.

Brian Cook was really good for Geelong, the replacement hasbig shoes to fill.

 

[hawkman]

What knowledge would he have ?

Not sure specifically but given that he is charge of below there is probably some knowledge he would be able to take from other clubs

Which rules do you disagree with? IMO the stand rule is a big tick.. stricter interpretation of the deliberate is a big tick, 6-6-6 tick..

 

[Lynchy04]

Thank ****

 

[Piggy2008]

players can contest for the ball without getting reported again, i hope hes gone and he cant go to geelong, i dont care

I agree, it would depend on the role though. A top executive should be 6-12 months though, lower levels maybe 3 months

This is an AFL directive, to offset future litigation from concussion.. This wont change with Hocking gone.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Can he take Christian with him? Geelong fans, what positions do you have open?

no contesting for the ball, x, no knocking out the players, x, no hip and shoulders, x, basically the players cant go in hard for the ball because of so called "protect the head"
thats only a few of many, hopefully the new floghead that takes over will change those but he probably wont

 

[Oscarman]

So which nuffy will take over at HQ?

 

[Sky]

I’m happy it’s gone to someone who’s been at the club and is aware of its values and not some newcomer

I think you have your head in the sand if you think this will change with Hocking gone.
