One Prattism goes something like: You need to get the best man available, and if they are available then there not the best man.....something like that. We must be paying squillions

Maybe Pratt is covering the cost through Visy like he is for Ashman, de Bolfo and others (some to be confirmed)

I was really hopeful for an injury to Marc Murphy, now this...

(A little bit of wee actually came out)

Brilliantly worded and diplomatic press release.

Michael Malouf leaves with dignity and on his terms.

Pratt comes out of it smelling like roses. :wink:

Mrs. Cazz has some severe explaining to do as Miss Agro Junior had to be revived with smelling salts after hyperventilating and fainting in shock.

"MM Out" - what were you thinking Mrs. Cazz.

Visy is slowly becoming a major sponsor with the assistance.

So now we have a highly credential CEO and Football Manager :-D

Agreed. It sounds like very promising news.

Sorry for the heart attack guys. :shock:

Never occurred to me. :oops:

I feel like such a loser - I didn't think of Murphy at all.

Pity about Malouf - I had high hopes when he crossed from council. Best of luck to him and to us.

Sort of edit: just read the CFC article - that is a @#$%&! brilliantly written press release.

Well....change it back...there's no reason why everyone else shouldn't suffer the same heart ache the rest of us did

This is good news. Do'nt worry about where he has come from, the man is a top class opperator. And i love that smooth transition stuff, that speeks volumes for our new press man.

The Board of the Carlton Football Club today announced that it has appointed Mr Greg Swann as CEO.

Mr Swann joins Carlton after a highly-successful career as CEO of the Collingwood Football Club. He has accepted the terms of a three-year contract and will commence duties as soon as possible.

Even off season news is now good news at Carlton.

I LOVE MY FOOTY CLUB! :-D

Mrs C is evil.

I love the synergy of Swann joining the wobbles in 1999 at the start of their rejuvenation and now starting at Carlton.

What did Pratt say about potential candidates?
if they're available they're not the best out there?"

Only hope he takes us two better than when he was with them. :wink:

Not a sneaky leaker to be seen.

Mordan · **Posted:** Fri Mar 23, 2007 7:43 pm

Yep AGRO. As much fun as it is receiving the inside word, it's better still when no one gets the leaks.

Don't know a lot about Swann, but can't find a lot of criticise about Collingwoods off-field performance over the last 3 years.

And the 5 years before that were better again

Exceptionally good news, and Swann has the runs on the board.

Even better would be Eddie's reaction.
