I know there has been a lot of chat about this but heard he has a job at a brewery waiting.

Email from the PAFC to members :


The Port Adelaide Football Club wishes to advise its Members and Supporters that Mark Haysman is standing down as Chief Executive Officer, after steering the Club through three seasons and putting it on the path to playing AFL games at Adelaide Oval.

Mark announced his resignation on Friday following the finalisation of the SANFL/AFL investment package for Port Adelaide and SA Football.

“I wanted to stay in the job until I was certain the Port Adelaide Football Club had the financial certainty that ensures its long-term success off the field and on,” Mark said.

“I am going with mixed emotions. Mixed because I have loved this job and have had amazing support from everyone, from the Club’s Members and Supporters to the Board. But at the same time I am confident I have achieved what I needed to achieve.

“I will move on knowing that the Port Adelaide Football Club is stronger; stronger because it has a secure future and an exciting future.

“I am confident the Club will arrive at Adelaide Oval just as the fantastic work Coach Matthew Primus is doing with our young team really pays off.

“This is an extraordinary Club and it has been my honour and privilege to be its Chief Executive Officer. I will leave the position proud of what I have done, but even prouder of what those around me here at Alberton have achieved.”

Port Adelaide Football Club President Brett Duncanson paid tribute to Mr Haysman on behalf of the Board of Directors.

“We would have loved for Mark to continue. He has done an outstanding job in a challenging environment,” Brett said.

“No-one knows more than the Board what Mark has achieved. The funding we will receive from the SANFL and AFL will allow Port Adelaide to deliver on the foundation laid by the Club under Mark Haysman’s guidance.”

Brett said Mark’s key achievements were building a business strategy that is turning the Club’s financial position around, overseeing the merger of Port Adelaide’s AFL and SANFL entities and being a driving force behind the transfer of AFL matches from AAMI Stadium to Adelaide Oval from 2014.

“Some of these are things people said would never be achieved, but they have been under Mark Haysman,” Brett said.

“The value of Mark’s work – his legacy – will not be fully realised yet. But in the years to come it will be. Believe me, he will be judged then even more highly than he is now.”

Mark thanked Port Adelaide Members and Supporters for their confidence and faith throughout his time as Chief Executive.

“I will leave humbled by the support and faith you have given to me,” Mark said,

“You are the lifeblood of Port Adelaide and my message to you is simple: stick with Port Adelaide as you always have.

“I hope you understand it is time for me to move on and pass the baton to someone else to guide us through that next phase in our history, the phase that will see you cheering on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

“Hold on to that vision. It is no longer a dream. It will be a reality and the Club wants you with it, there at Adelaide Oval as it realises all of the possibilities that will bring.

“It’s wonderful that we’ll get a taste of that in Round 24 this year, thanks to the efforts of the SANFL. So it would be fantastic to see you all there as we host Melbourne in what will be the first AFL match at Adelaide Oval and the last before the ground is redeveloped.

“Most people know that when I came into the position I didn’t come as a Port Adelaide supporter, but I came here with a job to do, and that job is done.

“In reaching that - and now fully understanding what this Club means to its supporters, and its place in the sporting fabric of this State - let me tell you I will be a Port Adelaide man forever.”

Mark thanked his wife Lihini and their four sons for their support during his time at Port Adelaide.

He also expressed his gratitude to the Board, his management team, and all staff including the players and those in the Football Department.

Mark joined Port Adelaide in October 2008, after serving as Lion Nathan Australia Regional Director with responsibility for South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.

Mark will stay with the Club at least until the end of July. The Club will work with the SANFL and the AFL in an exhaustive search to find Port Adelaide’s next Chief Executive Officer.

I've known Mark Haysman for years, he's a quality person, possibly not cut out for the shenanigans of AFL football. It's been my observation over the years that successful AFL football administrators have a fair bit on mongrel in them.

That's a fair call. But you'd think that anyone who's got to that sort of level of business has a fair bit of a mongrel in them...

Yes, don't get me wrong. He's no goodie-two-shoes, he's a very talented administrator who did well in the brewing industry and will continue to do so. I just feel, rightly or wrongly, that in the world of AFL football, you really need to be ruthless, to the point of being dishonest, and I don't think Hays is that style of person.

Good point. Next question, is Triggy ruthless enough?

Which makes me wonder about the heavily rumoured incumbent, as I'm not sure he would fit that mould you've mentioned AH.

That would be one of things Crows supporters would be saying.

Interestingly, Port are supposedly not just the only club in Adelaide in trouble but there's been no movement on the Crows board.
I'm not sure if that tell us anything, as I don't know that much about the club's operations. But the Power's board has certainly been taking a battering, hasn't it?

Fair point .. From the outside, the Crows always comes across as jobs for the boys.

For those that support them, they will point to few movements over the years as stability without knee-jerk .. For those that don't support the hierarchy they will suggest that the Crows are like the Aussie cricket team, harder to get into than out of.

just reading this thread from top to bottom and reconciling that with what has been in the media for three or four weeks I'm convinced Demetriou told Port if they wanted the multi-million-dollar payout Haysman would have to go.

My boss didnt take up membership with Port because of him. The club has gone downhill since Cunningham left and he thought employing a Crows supporter as the CE was a bad idea. Have it on good authority he drove out the Williams' ;)

I suspect that many people may have severely under rated Bucky Cunningham, Port lost one of their best leaders when he departed from the club, with Haysman now moving on I hope they offer him the chance to come back into the fold!

I dont think anyone underestimated how important Bucky was. Hell, most people in this state thought he was a shoe-in for what is Adrian Andersons job before Anderson got it.
