Jamie had said he needed a break, and it seemed a terrific fit for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given my network with the governing football bodies and other teams, it gave me more confidence I could do it [the president role] the diligence it needs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As well as the football history, having run our own business for over 20 years, I&#8217;d like to believe I have strong business accruement and have an eye for detail and accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The club is in a great position and fortunately I&#8217;m the next leader to steer the ship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123060\" style=\"width: 401px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123060 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/IMG_8032-scaled.jpg?_t=1702422216\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"601\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Nigro has been the senior coach of the senior football side for the past five seasons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Nigro said he has a series of goals and visions for the club in 2024 and beyond, however much will hinge on the details surrounding AFL Barwon&#8217;s competition structure proposal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There certainly will be a couple of changes, but our coaching staff and most of the rest is already very stable,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of it will be the transition into 2025 and what AFL Barwon deem to be right or wrong moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether the competition changes direction will certainly impact on how things go.
