Shame on him.

He has been involved in changing the fabric of the competition and as a result, my club. Then jumping on board with the people this was all designed to feed.

He may be a good person and his intentions may have been good ones if you give him all the benefit of the doubt.

It doesn't change the fact he has played a role in the deconstructing of the SANFL as it was once known and jumped ship to the club that has principally torn the SANFL apart.

Interesting appointment by Port Adelaide, despite criticism over the years Rhode has been one stable element of the football department over the last 5 years that has been critical in turning the on field fortunes of the club around.

Best of luck, Chris.

Oh.....

SANFL ANNOUNCES NEW CEO
The SANFL is pleased to announce that Jake Parkinson has been appointed as the next Chief Executive Officer of the organisation.

He succeeds Leigh Whicker, who retires from the SANFL later this year.

Mr Parkinson has considerable commercial and leadership experience, having held a variety of senior roles with Lion over the past 12½ years.

He is currently the Regional Director SA/NT for Lion, where he has overseen a sustained period of growth.

SA Commission Chairman John Olsen said Mr Parkinson would “usher in a new era for the SANFL.”

“Over the past 12 months, the SANFL has successfully tackled some of the biggest challenges in the history of football in South Australia,” Mr Olsen said.

“This has included the transfer of the AFL licences to the Adelaide and Port Adelaide football clubs, expanding the SANFL competition to include teams from the Crows and Power, securing the financial uplift for the AFL clubs through the move to the Adelaide Oval and, with cricket, helping set the stage for future prosperity at what is now regarded as one of the best stadiums in Australia,” he said.

“All of this has now positioned the SANFL on the verge of a new and exciting future as we seek to consolidate our track record as the best in Australia for game development and build on the 100,000 who participate in our game every week.

“Jake’s passion and vision for the future of this organisation was outstanding and we are delighted to have secured such as well-regarded leader.

“Furthermore, while our highly regarded Chief Operating Officer John Lyons did not apply directly for the position, we are pleased that John will continue in his exemplary manner as our COO in support of Jake.”

Mr Parkinson will start in his new role in mid-October.

“I believe the SANFL is an outstanding organisation with an aspirational brand as a centre of excellence for football on the national stage,” he said.

“My vision is that every time we engage with someone – whether it be with a parent at kids’ footy, a volunteer in the community or a player at the elite level – they see an organisation with its heart in football in South Australia. I think we have a very exciting future.

“I am also thrilled that I will be surrounded by people of the quality of John Lyons whose experience will be invaluable to me over the coming years.”
PAFC. Forever.

I heard Rhode had to leave for health reasons.

He cant even get thru a metal detector at an airport now due to all the knifes in his back from Port fans.

I know what you were saying.
Sorry, my one-word answer was shorthand for: it's probably the case because beer is such an integral sponsor in football, at most levels, and these guys would meet regularly, sit next to each other at lunches and form relationships through the networking that entails, which sees them move into footy admin through the relationships they've formed. Nevermind, for all of the women that get jobs in footy, it's still a pretty-blokey world, as is brewing.
