harley replacement - Matthew Pavlich confirmed as new CEO on 6 August 2025

[liz]

Really oddly, this thread isn't appearing on the forum home page, which is why I started a new thread. I only found it because I returned to RWO after watching 360 and found my post at the bottom of this thread. The thread still doesn't appear on the forum homepage. Any theories, moderators?

I'm not sure what you mean by "appearing on the forum homepage". People access the forum (and use different mechanisms to see new posts) differently, so it may be that what you're looking at isn't a view I use. On what I think of as my forum homepage, I can see the thread listed under "Trending".

There is an issue with index pages not always updating on a timely basis to show that new posts have been made in a topic. It can sometimes take hours before it is apparent that there are new posts to look at. Someone with a more technical understanding of the way the internet works might be able to put this in more correct language, but as I understand things, the URL sometimes points to a satellite server, rather than the master server, and this satellite server isn't instantaneously updated from the master server. It's weird, because sometimes you do see a forum index page immediately reflect new posts, and yet at other times you don't. But I don't really understand enough about how the internet works to guess what's happening.

I've drawn Dan's attention to this, but he wasn't sure if there was anything he can do about it.

Sounds like JL is currently comfortablce in his current rol and not having to be in the cut and thrust of coaching yet, Same goes for Adam Simpson loving his TV roles. Not sure eityher would be intersted in the Dees job besides if Goodies payour was about $1m they would have a bigger bille for JL (perhaps twice as much) Suggest at this stage Buckley the fav. Other 2 would prefer to wait a bit longer and maybe Tassie.

Matthew Pavlich's appointment as CEO has shocked Paul Roos, which he discusses in the first part of his ABC podcast:

He trusts the club has done all its due indiligence with its search and is not dispararging in any way whether Pav can fullfill the role, but surprised we didn't pick someone with more experience considering the changes in the last 12 months with Cox. He does however, acknowledge they do still have experience people around to support them.
