Steve Hocking Gone

[Bearded Clam]

So the cheat is finally moved on..

what an absolute joke he was allowed to bring the game into disrepute as badly as he did in his tenure..

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Good riddance.

 

[Bearded Clam]

His job in undermining Tigers complete

Undermining the tigers?.., undermining the entire fabric of the game dontcha you mean..

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Hope his brother takes over

 

[Mr Magic]

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

Talk about a conflict, worse than the bankers and regulators!!!

He's been working for us all along. This doesn't make much of a difference. He just can't fix the game for us anymore, so it's actually a net negative.

Time for James Hird to clean AFL House. game will be better if he was given the reigns.

 

[Red mist]

Throws a player at the tribunal within the rules of the game while probably interviewing for CEO where he’d back that player 100% if CEO.
Self gratifying hypocritic.

 

[Piggy2008]

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

well you could contest for the ball a few years ago, could they just change it anyway, and if the player gets knoced out, then his problem, just come back next week or play out the game,

 

[Cubs2Lions]

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

 

[Meteoric Rise]

What knowledge would he have ?

Intricate Salary Cap knowledge for one thing.

 

[Hodgey 15]

 

[Mr Magic]

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

OMG surely thats a given not to be questioned

 

[CrowInFiji]

An absolute stain on the game. Geelong must be pissing their pants at the thought of being treated like everyone else. Luckily they still have strong media backers like Holier than thou Whateley.

As good a lesson as any in why you shouldn't be allowing clubmen to run the code.

 

[Infamy]

Probably realised how bad a job he was doing and went back to a more secure job with the Cats.

Good riddance, let him purely be an example of what not to do in the role

Not his area

In some companies he would be escorted out the door by security

yeah here’s hoping for those 11 games at our home ground like everyone else

 

[Dirty Bird]

All it took was taking on David Mackay and losing for him to realise his position was untenable

ALL HAIL DAVID MACKAY

Shhhhhh, don't spread the false rumours on here about the "messiah" who has caused the downfall of our game.

Let them choose whoever they want to choose, then we will laugh at them so much it's not even funny, when they circling around the Bottom 4 for the next 5 years of their existence as a result of their mishaps of choosing the muppet in town

happens in business. my mate sold his business and part of sale price included financing him to have a year off, a ‘gardening year’. the afl should follow this path.

 

[backtozero]

No surprise that an AFL employee makes a sideways move as a Vic club CEO.
VFL boys club.

 

[Mr Magic]

Does this mean Geelong can win the premiership now he is gone?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Finally should never have been appointed in the first place
