New Head of APL

Wonder how much this guy knows about football. Could be a good thing in terms of turning the game a bit more profitable, but we keep steering away from what makes football great

And yet we keep being told that's why we need these 'broadbased' non-⚽ types to run the game here, in order to 'cut through' to mainstream-🇦🇺...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wonders aloud also how much he knows.... however and it's pure assumption and guessing on my part...

APL, were looking for someone to lead the organisation from a business sense but more importantly to have skills in marketing sport and media negotiations.

IMO the stand out CEO we had was our first in JON from a rugby background. JON marketed the Socceroos like never before and was behind some very clever marketing at the time.

He also recognised the one team per city was wrong and although he set it up he wanted in season three to expand to 10 teams with new Sydney n Melbourne teams.... it's history now Frank said no so he quit.

Marketing and the next media deal are so important...

For those South of the broader....the NRL appointed the head of NSW racing and he kept both jobs..... without doubt the best sports admin appointment in the NRL history and arguably the best appointment in Australian sport over say the last 15 years.

PV, new little about the NRL prior to his appointment.

Let's hope nay let's wish and were we can help him.

you do know I bolded the section purposely eh ?

Worse his background is a bean counter as well lol......

Rosich joins the A-Leagues with over 25 years of senior leadership and commercial experience in elite sport, including 16 years as a CEO across the AFL at the Fremantle Dockers, in racing and major events at the Victoria Racing Club (VRC), and most recently leading an innovative medical technology company BrainEye !
Eggball is his fav as well - here you go again APL followers.
Rosich was recruited by football scouts on the lookout for future young stars in the West Australian football league, based in Perth. He played a handful of games for top teams Subiaco and West Perth before injury cut short his footballing career at the age of only 20.

With a passion for sport, in particular Aussie Rules, the next step was to find a job that would fit a young sports nut whose ambition was boundless.

It's a critical and important appointment...

All levels of Australian professional Football will benefit if he is successful and all levels will suffer if he fails.

My hope is they got the right person personally I have never heard of him before.

But I wish him every success

Middy,
PV is no comparo even though yes he has done a great job in NRL role.
He is not CEO but Chairman for NRL.
Plus a local, played NRL as a kid, so he knows/knew the game DNA..
APL has signed a Vic originally a sandgroper playing afl - he's quoted its his game.
Kudos to his work resume absolutely but does he know football ?
I think he knows "events" very well and that just maybe good to find new sponsers but what about the rest it needs ?
Oh - $'s is all that matters and granted thats what it needs in bucket loads.
I wish him success for you believe me.
No, the Championship and right down below will not suffer anymore than it has the last 20yrs.

I hope you are wrong.

Further I hope he is an outstanding success.

Arguably, the most successful appointment from a different code to Football is Don Garber who was appointed the governor of The MLS around 2000.

I can only assume the net was cast far and wide and this guy has been chosen ,

Professional Football in Australia at all levels needs to lift and key in part to this is marketing and media deals...

IMO, the only CEO who passed this test was JON, and he quit 18 months into a five year appointment.

I really hope he succeeds but acknowledge your doubt's

Just out of curiosity, what's his background? It sounds Slavic but it's not Balkan because that would be Rosić. Perhaps Russian or Ukrainian?

Keep in mind quite a fair few of 'em in this country(and elsewhere such as the US & Canada) added the H for ease-of-pronunciation purposes; otherwise they would've been prone to having their surnames mispronounced w/'ick' at the end💡

as I said at the other thread, the history seems to show that administrators from other codes seem to inherit stereotypes about football fans...I'm not confident he will have a productive relationship with active support which seems pretty important for the a league to recover

No arguments from me on that score...as I posted earlier other than JON, all have failed on many fronts.

Having said that I am always willing to give an appointment like this the 100 day treatment in that let's wait and see...then if needed it's all in boots and all but from the get go that's for me anyway to early
