Peter is astute in his business and a great guy.
I visited their winery about 2 years ago and he spent about an hour chatting to my dad and I about the dogs, his business, how Daniel was going, etc.
Great guy, hopefully his acumen is sufficient for this type of role.

So what is his metrics of success? That’s what I’m asking, don’t need to get offended. I just want to know what it is that deems him a successful businessman because I don’t know if he is.

And btw, any business in Australia is considered a small business until turnover exceeds 50m
Yes we know this, we said successful business
No one said large if you care to read comments........
He has his own brand of wines plus a a large vineyard and a cellar door which he built all from ground up
Multi million a year buisness from scratch that now booms
I would say that’s successful, wouldn’t you?

Having a bloke running a small business on the board isn’t exactly exciting... there are better candidates that can bring more of what we need (TPAs)

Tbh, and I really hate to say it, but I've got to agree with Coach here.

Everyone seems to be looking for that honeypot with endless amounts of money, but is that realistic?

As Coach said "Built a multi million dollar a year buisness from nothing" is absolutely massive for me and shows real business savvy and intelligence. For the life of me can't believe people are digging that out.

You can agree without having to say it mate... what it is is you guys are happy with someone that has run a business for a bit of time... I’d rather other skills on the board. There’s so many people looking for board positions these days, with skills knowledge and connections that don’t yet exist on our board.

That's the thing Peter Mortimer, Joe Thomas and Paul Dunn have pretty much the same skill set and history. They are all former players and have gone into business and done well.

So what they can bring to the board will be all pretty similar generally speaking. Don't get me wrong here I'm not shitting on them and think they will do a good job but it was a chance to bring in someone with something different.

You said exactly what I’m saying but in a more gentle way so people like coach won’t get their knickers in a knot

Another thing is this "Bulldogs DNA" gets shouted from the rooftops every time there is a appointment.

There is so many people already in the club that have a history here and know how things work. So do you really need to be limiting yourself to people with a established connection with the club?

Peter Mortimer is from the wine industry, Joe Thomas from the clothing industry. How is that the same skill set?

Different skills requires in different industries, Different connections. They work in different worlds.

The only thing they have in common is they both played for the Dogs.
