The job is to run the footy department which Lucas has zero experience doing. I love Scotty and he seems like a really good player agent in that he genuinely cares about his players. But cmon.
Dual Crichton winner. Very impressive as a game analyst on sen broadcasts, good communicator. But I suppose it depends on what phoenix is doing, because theres a definite conflict of interest involved if he gets any more involved at the club.
So that’s how I go about getting into a prestigious international university, I have to work at Essendon for a period of time (Hird, now Kerr).
Does Woosha need a coffee boy? Does Mark Neeld need someone to assure him he wasn’t that bad a coach (granted, tough gig to do with a straight face)? I’ll do anything to get into Harvard!
Chris Heffernan is another one, but would need to step down from the Board. Is highly regarded. From the Club:
“Heffernan’s football knowledge and business acumen make him an outstanding addition to the club’s Board,” Evans said.
“He is well respected as a former player and highly rated as an emerging business leader. A great combination for the club’s Board.”
Heffernan played 170 AFL games for the Bombers and is a member of the 2000 premiership team.
Since his retirement in 2007, he worked at Deutsche Bank in New York for three years in the asset and funds management business reporting to the Global COO.
He returned to Melbourne in 2010 and joined Ernst and Young as a member of the mergers and acquisitions team that assists large private and ASX listed companies achieve their strategic objectives’.
There were a few games that I watched on TV this year… and I really noticed that after wins especially, when we see the boys walking back into the rooms to sing the song, they all give high 5’s and hugs to all and sundry (Woosha, Paul Little, Tanner, etc etc etc) But they always seemed to walk past Kerr.
I found it strange.
Now seeing this post makes me think not so strange…
If we wanted experience Steve Hocking and Chris Bond are two seemingly respected names in the role.
May have someone lined up though. Hoping so anyway.
