AFLPA boss Matt Finnis accepts the job as St Kilda CEO

[Dr Spaceman]

Champion.

Starts with the letter C.

As does CEO.

Ours is Matt Finnis.

Reckon he'll go okay.

Happy.

A few interesting snippets towards the end of this article:

"But Finnis' contract dictated he repay to the players' association a significant proportion of the five-figure study tour - a repayment the St Kilda board has undertaken to take over."

"The Saints' culture has been the source of concern within and beyond the AFL and Finnis' stand against Essendon last year would not have harmed his prospects. St Kilda began chasing him in December and would not take no for an answer with McLachlan, a Saints fan, strongly supportive and reportedly influential in the appointment."

Brendan Gale didn't relocate the tiges...

He channeled supporter passion he knew was there.

Anyone who watched the retirement game for Kosi Blake & Milne, knows we're under utilised.

Someone needs to stir up the saints fans, hearing that he grew up on bayside & understands the relevance of the saints in this area, hoping he's the one that attempts to take up a stronghold of the peninsula

Great post (again) K.

So that's the CEO posi' shored up.

Now, if Saint's man Gilliam can land the AFL CEO gig... the ducks will be lining up for our return to the Junction... and finally an end to the Saintas' potential being 'under utilised'.

Juggernaut time!

Ive decided you arent Patrick Smith but you must be Walt Disney.

Is Pelchin in charge of him too?

I'd have eyes in the back of my head... And my ears open working at Seaford...

Sharp knives slide into backs easily

As CEO, he implements the agenda of the board and president in running the club, so I guess Pelchin and the rest answer to him and the board.

So we've paid out another big sum to get what we want (study tour payment). Summers better know what he's doing

10 or 20 grand isn't a massive number in the scheme of things.
