His position as a director isn't a concern in my opinion.

A number of AFL CEO's have sat on club board's in the past, and they will continue to do so in the future. Peter Jackson being a very good example, and he is the second best AFL CEO in the business (behind Brian Cook).

Nettlefold's relationship with the current board is a very professional one, and does not extend to the sort of personal, egotistical relationship that existed between Mr Butterss and Mr Thomas.

Furthermore, he is well regarded as a great operator in business - not just because of his family, but in his own right as well. He is quite polished and articulate, and well educated in the financial aspects of running a company.

Add to that his football experience, and he has a resume that exceeds many current AFL CEO's.


If his performance requires discussion at board level, he will simply be asked to leave the room ... fairly simple I would have thought?


Finally, Archie Fraser gave a strong recommendation in Nettlefold's favour ... Archie, whatever you like to save about him, is not a man to make rash/ego-driven decisions, so his support for the appointment is important IMO.


Congratulations Mr Nettlefold ... may you have every success!

Don't know the guy so can't judge him but personally I would have liked to see at least an EOI go out so what was in the market before committing to a new CEO. Then again, I'm not in the loop so maybe there was.

I'm not sure there's a need for those with vested interests to become cheerleaders on here (honest appraisals are welcome, of course)...but at least they're not exactly hard to spot.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
