Good appointment from a stability point of view

Only if we get a suitable mole to replace him at AFL HQ.

SO HOCKING BROUGHT DOWN THE TIGERS AND NOW HE'S GOING BACK TO GEELOL




.... did I do it right?

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Richmond fans melting hard

 

[mac_cat]

Excellent news. It always seemed like Steve was being groomed as Brian Cook’s successor, and his four years at the AFL has just broadenEd his knowledge and experience even further.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

He’s still got a few months to bring in any changes to help geelong before he comes back to the club.
But seriously a very good appointment who knows the club well and would have learnt a lot from his time atthe AFL.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

This is just too good to be true, Richmond heads exploding.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Oh no. Richmond will justly win the next 10 flags now.

No - but he would be privy to highly sensitive club information - like eg - how sick the current StKilda Balance Sheet looks

Just my opinion ( and they should do this for retiring govt ministers as well ) then if your with the AFL in a high up position - where you have got access to very sensitive financial and other club information - then you cant take a club job for 3 years ( at which point that sensitive information - isnt sensitive anymore )

You go back say 20-25 when Geel were on their knees financially - so say the AFL Operations person at the time is a Carl or Haw man - and he goes back as CEO of their club - hes privy to info - oh Geel are financially ratshiit - the liquidator is just about to be appointed and change the locks . That highly sensitive info should not be the knowledge of another clubs CEO

I thought 3 peats were meant to be easy?

 

[Strange Cat]

Oh they be melting hard today

The funny part is Benny Gale will be running the AFL in a year or two anyway so.....

I think its more than Tigers fan's that have not been a fan of Hockings work. The stand on the mark rule is terrible , even worse than its on show in country football to.

I understand what you're saying, but Mark Evans had the same job as SHocking at the AFL and from there was appointed CEO of Gold Coast.

Therefore there's a precedent so they can't really change the rules after that.

 

[STPer18]

You couldn't have scripted this any better to just further fuel the inane conspiracy theories. This appointment is worth it for that alone, good stuff.

He was head of football operations though right? Don’t think team financials would be under that umbrella.

Hope Brad Scott does, so we can sneak Chris in to make a few tweaks that help our team

Last act as he goes out the door is to pass a non-breakable rule that from henceforth no more rules can be changed after making it that all ovals have to have a maximum width of 118m

 

[dazbroncos]

This is just gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Certain places and posters won’t make it..

Go Catters
