It was only 7 weeks ago that Hardwick likened Humphrey to Dusty .

Trying to pump up his trade value for later on this year.

We don't need b and c+ Midfielders we need a graders.

I could handle that. Blair is one smart cookie although recently he did pick up Kosi.

Ralph Malph reckons Bummers ruckman Nick Bryan might leave especially now they have Goldstein in.

208cm, 22 yo, played 14 games. Beautiful taps.

Worth getting?

This. Be amazed if Blair is in the frame for CEO. As you say, diff skillset with Blair not having exposure to the financial and business acumen side just as a starting point.

Ameet Bains, current CEO of WB & past CEO of St K, was a list manager at St K. He has legal qualifications and experience, not sure what Hartley's past experience/qualifications are?

How much did Benny have of that when he took over? Jon O'Rourke would be a pretty handy partner to handle much of what he's missing currently.

A decent amount - 3 years as a solicitor and already near 5 years as a CEO (of AFL PA).

Had also been non-executive director of a company - AFL Sportsready.

Pretty decent Corp governance, finance, football industry and strategic background.

Just don't think Blair's strengths/experience match-up. He has a pretty niche role. Even in the leadership space it is pretty limited, he has a pretty small team under him compared to Livingstone (who ILHO would be the better chance of the two - but still a big longshot).
