Think Laura Kane is poor at her job? Nope, that's just your unconscious bias

[Outtatym]

Do you then think she's better than Peggy O'neil or Kylie Watson-Wheeler?

Nope, but I wasn't highlighting them?

But you did ignore them/

She’s not great, but Andrew Dillon is worse. He can barely string two sentences together without looking like a nervous mess.

It’s a terrible one-two combo for the biggest code in the country. Meanwhile, the NRL is likely to sign a massive new TV deal that could even surpass the AFL’s. Maybe then the clubs will wake up and start demanding more from head office.

Demetriou was 42. Gillon was 41.

So much for Caro attempting to link then by claiming:
"It is worth pointing out that that Kane’s so-called youth is something of a misnomer. Andrew Demetriou, still in his 30s when he took over the AFL’s top football job"

Down right providing false information to justify her point

 

[Dee Train]

The facts speak for themselves.
2015: President of Melbourne University Women's Football Club
2017: Amongst the leadership team for North Melbourne's application for a women's team, with a role "educating staff and the male playing group on the differences between men's and women's football"
2021: The General Manager of the AFL, at the age of 31.

I have a conscious bias against incompetence and non merit-based appointments.

I can educate everyone in the difference between men’s and women’s football for free. One is highly skilled, fast and great to watch. The other is a low skilled, grinding shit fight bore fest. Job done

With all due respect, I don’t think you are qualified to educate.

I also hope you have daughters, and that they want to play footy.

The fact the don’t have an ability to make a decision and open the roof last night when it was hot, and two weeks ago when we played North when it was extremely hot and potentially dangerous is poor leadership. The lack of nuance and flexibility without wisdom and clarity to make sure things remain fair, shows the AFL executive is out of their depth. Brendan Gale would’ve been perfect in either role.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Quick side bar...

It sickens me when these AFL cronies romanticise about Demetriou.

The man was a total shonk and oversaw the biggest scandal in the history of Australian sport.

I do have a daughter. She agrees because she’s not beholden to the agenda that we must all pretend it’s an elite competition.

The pertinent question id: Has AFL become better or worse in the last two years?

While I don’t agree with the premise of the article, the AFL’s top “football” job has generally been considered to be the GM of Football Operations, which AD took on when we was 39. CEO is not considered a “football” job per se.

 

[Randomizor]

Wasn’t she recently given a handler? Doesn’t exactly scream competence to me

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

That depends on who's asking, and what their criteria is.

 

[Frappe]

Caro just earned herself 10 tickets to the Grand Final she can sell for $$$ tax free. Well played Caro. Well played.

Kane is useless and so is her boss. They literally have no idea what they are doing. And we suckers hand over our money ensuring nothing changes.

Is it any different to their predecessors?

Elite: a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.

It is by definition elite - regardless of whether your ego can handle it.

There’s ways of communicating that it’s of inferior quality to men’s footy without calling it a shit fest. Derogatory attitudes like that are really toxic to the 1000’s of young people who are inspired by it.

I’m pretty sure thousands of young people don’t give a **** what I have to say. They can watch and make up their own minds.

I don't know if Kane is competent at her job. I do know she's a poor public speaker.

I wonder if Opening Round is her baby, or Dillon’s?

That debacle - as well as how remarkably compromised the draft is - are the two single biggest issues in the game, yet both don’t look anywhere close to being fixed.

Also their inability take a decision re Brisbane Geelong game because they were focused on their bottom dollar.as opposed to player and fan safety. And the impact to the public.

They needed to be straight up much earlier.

FAIL

Opening Round is a shambles
It's embarrassing for the league

The lack of games free to air TV is an indictment on the current administration

 

[HairyO]

Nope. But they didnt have the most senior footy journo kneeling before them did they?
