I thought we were going to go with that bloke labelled "a rising star" and promote from within?

Lost his job on Radio so he is free. I like him, whether he is the right fit I don't know and in saying that I have him in front of Wagner. |

| Would it possible y'know to appoint the best person for the job rather than another one of McGuire's mates? |

spot on Crimson
Micky Christian has a background that might fit the bill as a premiership player, stockbroker and looks to be a good thinker. But is he the best man for the job or is his name been put forward because he's been mates with Eddy since clubbing together in the 80s 90s?

So Pert is looking to jump ship.
I thought the captain went down with it? |

No way he is the best candidate going around. Next

hasnt been involved with an AFL club on a FT basis since his playing days... No.
I like the idea of Pert as Head of Football, if we land a gun CEO. If not, how about Roosy, Gary Ayres, or dare I say it... Bomber? |

I hear James Hird would like to get back into a footy club.
Sometimes it takes a fall to make one a better person & administrator.
I call it thinking outside the square

IF Christian can explain the machinations and complexities of the USA college electoral system, in laymans terms, then as far I'm concerned, he has the job, its all his, as he would be a bloody genius, and is just what we need. !

I like your thinking and I strongly agree with your premise that ability + humility is a powerful combination. If Hird has taken the lessons from his humiliation he might be an excellent recruit - but you'd have to test whether Hird's character was at fault or just his experience and judgement, the first time around. Many of the best people and best managers I know are those who have digested their mistakes and learnt from them.

Any or all. I'd take Bomber first.
