Today afl.com.au is reporting that we made a $100K profit this year which Pridham has described as "acceptable on balance". I agree that it doesn't seem to flash a result but what it suggests to me is that Ireland's strength is footy more than number crunching and making money. While both are important, I'm glad not only that he has is strong in football and that has enormously contributed to our success since he joined the club. Relevantly for this thread, I'm glad that Tom Harley who will replace Ireland also has a strong football nous whatever his other qualifications. I would rather have someone that knows footy than someone who is just good at business. It balances out too because our success on field brings $$ into the club. If need be, employ more directors of business and finance to assist the CEO.
