News Chris Davies departs for Carlton

[GremioPower]

Anyone using click bait here deserves a serve.
Especially when it goes at one of the better people we have.

Come on, chiwigi! The whole point is to create a debate. If we can’t talk, we can’t learn, mate. Traps are tools. They are neutral. They will be good or bad depending on their usage.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Probably the clubs most valuable asset imo. Genius.

Maybe second only to Zak Butters

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Looking forward to more Summers of George

Best news since forever.

Caro kept putting his name up for Hocking’s job, but when I asked him about it I got an unequivocal impression he was just not interested.

CD feels he has a big job to do at Alberton, that he’s only just started, and he’s going to see it thru to complete success … which may include him being our next CEO in minimum five years time.

I love the bloke. He’s unique.

I have a feeling CD is more than happy behind the scenes. Neither head coach or CEO. Strong regimes never put the true power on display, no they rather play in the shadows

Calls a spade a bloody shovel.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

He is a fantastic GM. Unlike Koch, Kenny and KT (when he was employed), I have never questioned this bloke.

 

[bomberclifford]

Calls a spade a bloody shovel.

He was great at the supporters evening we went to last year. So bloody direct and to the point.

The Summer of George was, in my opinion, the absolute peak hilarity on this board in the entire time I've been here. The only thing that comes close is the Triggamania thread.

At least he doesn’t call it an entrenching tool.

You always get the feeling he would like to entrench it into the crows

Indeed he is no fan of West Lakes, except that it’s a construction site temporarily occupied by technicolor ponces … and he is no fan of the SANFL either.

He loves his job, and his capacity to successfully and significantly widen his scope of responsibility is only just starting to become apparent now that KT is history.

O ye of little faith

 

[TeeKray]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - he's the sort of bloke you'd be happy doing literally any job at the football club because you know he'd make a damn good fist of it.

Is the fist float making a comeback?

 

[FishingRick04]

I think Chris is great. However every departure allows for new thoughts and potentially an even better hire.

 

[PowerLil]

Absolutely love this news

 

[shewho]

This is great news. He is very good at what he does. Probably the best in the AFL. Shane Grimm is also doing a great job as Chris’ 2IC. What Shane did with the Magpie top up players this year was sensational and Shane did spot Lachie Jones. Keep these two guys and reap the rewards.

The fact he knew about the summer of George is hilarious

Selection night team meetings also quality

Or worse

Think positive.

 

[FishingRick04]

Think positive.

I think this guy can’t see anything on the bright side of life.

look hopefully Chris is with us for a few more years, but ultimately everyone expires in their role.

Agree. Even I myself expired in my role as China advisor thanks to KT / Koch end of 2018 but my expiration expired long ago, end of 2018 if I recall.

it’s natural, we all do, business owners employees. It’s rare to have a 10 year plus employee that isn’t there just to collect a pay check.

I saw a business consultant in 2019 talk about employees should be transitioned every three years and our role as business owners is to help build them,
Transition and re hire. From what I’ve seen it’s about right to be honest
