Williams is the target

[matrix]

Obviously chocco is the target.
It was mentioned the day after watters was sacked.

No surprise there.

Interviews weren't held at the club. But one of the coaching selection panel did have a little look around Seaford earlier.

[spot on]

Would be really disappointed if it is Kingsley. Nothing against him at all. We just need a strong person right now and that should be choco.

I think pretty much the opposite.
How good would Kingsley have to be to get it?
He'd have to knock them out!

How's that going Tony? I'm assuming we're looking at a management gig, although we do have an assistant coaching role going begging as well.

I am very in favour of our bald headed friend in any role he wants. Even CEO. I know he has been toeing the AFL line of late and boring the pants off some, but frankly as we need as much $ as they will give, anyone who speaks "Demetriou" as well as having had a media role (and therefore media skills) is a bonus. And if they happen to be a former premiership captain looking to relocate back to a Southern bayside climate, I say roll out the red carpet ...

Would that be an ex-Geelong captain. It was rumoured yesterday that he may be being considered for the CEO position.

What qualifications does he have?

I would hope not as he has virtually no suitable business experience to make him ready to be a CEO.

We cannot afford a learner as a CEO,

Bachelor in commerce, on the AIS academy, ambassador for various charities, he isn't entirely ignorant.

[Dr Spaceman]

Hilarious stuff.... About as much so, as the SEN callers who call in with best whatever's .... And the run home boys think it funny....

Interesting, so if not negative.... We look for any other excuse to have a crack?

Recovering nicely from the funny-boneectomy I see

I think that entry also misses the bit where he has been the AFL's General Manager for NSW and ACT for the past couple of years, the gig he just resigned from with the AFL's blessing.

So whilst he may not have traditional commercial business experience, as you say K, not entirely ignorant. And possibly nothing a good CFO couldn't balance. Certainly has had some exposure to trying to promote GWS in a difficult market.

Harvey not considered

[Dave McNamara]

Tom Harley is the man we need!!!

Oxford education.
Corporate development for BHP... now there's a real company. Knows how to find 'a way' to get things done.
Great grandson of our second PM, Alfred Deakon.
Very connected within the (once was) Liberal party - the current governing mob in both Victoria and Federally.
On the Board of the Melbourne Zoo - the Moorabbin restoration will of course need a proper Animal Enclosure.
Best of all... chairs the admissions committee of The Melbourne Club! Just watch our membership sky rocket when we are able to offer a unique affiliate rights package with every adult male St Kilda FC membership sold!

That's a reason to incarcerate him not recruit him.

Hilarious. But I think we might be stuck with the bald one who knows which end of a football to kick. Then again, another AWB-like scandal somewhat fits our recent media aspirations ...

[bennymac5]

Harley would be a great appointment. A very smart and professional man. In saying that, he lives in Sydney and I can't see him being too interested in the job. Where did the rumour come from?

Hmmmm...

That'd be Harley likely.

[Dave McNamara]

Anyone have any info on Williams progress....

Interviewed well. Really went to 'town.

[Cairnsman]

A CEO with Harley's football background and standing in the game...sounds interesting.

[sainters4eva]

I've always liked Harley in the media. Not biased and a solid citizen.We could do a lot worse and if he is to be an AFL appointee well, as somebody else said, at least they will get a good picture of the field we are having to compete in. Even better that the AFL 2Ic is a saints supporter.

i was quite surprised that was missing....

Was he wearing a tie?
Did they have Alan Scott on video link up saying he would never get the gig?

So did we interview Choco, McPhee and Kingsley? Wow, crack field that.

[spot on]

Tom Harley would have to be the youngest CEO in the afl, I think he would be great thou. Terrific leader and sounds like a good bloke. He has recently quit his role is Sydney too

[satchmo]

But is he the BEST we can get?

[stinger]

Obviously chocco is the target.

it was actually mentioned before he was sacked if my memory is not playing tricks.......
