It’s rare for a journalist to demonstrate business acumen – we are not known for being adept at any venture that requires a balance sheet – but Melbourne Storm chief executive officer Dave Donaghy is an exception, in more ways than just this. A born leader, the 36-year-old former journo was the youngest CEO in the NRL when he took the Storm helm at 32, and has helped to produce results that stand alongside any sensational Billy Slater try. He is a positive force to be reckoned with, driving success even in an AFL-mad town. Reporter Luke Dennehy met Donaghy for this week’s feature. ●

COVER STORY
A
t age 32, Dave Donaghy was named chief executive officer of Melbourne Storm – the youngest CEO, by a long shot, in the National Rugby League and the club’s history. Born in the central Queensland town of Gladstone – NRL heartland – it’s been a speedy rise to the top for Donaghy, who had arrived in Melbourne little more than a decade earlier to work as a rugby league journalist. The chief job could have been a daunting prospect for Donaghy, now 36, who back then was the same age as some of the team’s star players, and had just become a father for the second time, with daughter Pippa. However, in his switch from the press to sports administration Donaghy had amassed a long history of experience at the club, including a stint as the media manager, steadying the ship during the salary cap scandal, which broke in 2010. He went on to a role as general manager of the Brisbane Lions in the AFL, but returned to the Storm three years later; within two years of his homecoming, he was CEO. “I think because I was in the industry, it didn’t feel foreign to me from that point of view,” Donaghy says of being appointed so young. “But I must say, when I look back at that time, maybe they were mad to have appointed a 32-year-old. But I’m glad I got over that and took the opportunity when it was presented.” Some of the high profile backers of Donaghy, including one of Storm’s major shareholders Gerry Ryan of caravan company Jayco, continue to be huge supporters and mentors. “I had a lot of encouragement internally, and certainly the board said to me that we’ve all been very fortunate in our business careers to have some success, and at some point in our career someone gave us an opportunity – over to you,” he says. They wouldn’t be regretting their decision. In many ways Donaghy has had the Midas touch with Storm, Melbourne’s only NRL side, helping to implement a plan by the major shareholders, chairman Bart Campbell, Matt Tripp and Ryan. As well as winning the NRL premiership in 2017, since Donaghy started as CEO he has led his team to an extraordinary boom off-field. Those achievements include increasing the club’s membership from 15,000 in 2015 to 25,000 fans and growing, 18,000-plus average match crowds at AAMI Park, and turning the business

A focus on culture and character has helped a young CEO recalibrate the fortunes of Melbourne’s NRL club.

side of the club from million-dollar losses to clocking a profit. A modest Donaghy puts it down to a team effort, not his leadership. “There are only 16 of these jobs in the country,” Donaghy says. “So in terms of a dream job, yes it is. But it’s an amazing job because of the people we have got here.” There is no question that the wider NRL has an image problem related to the off-field behaviour of some of its players, including former Dally M medal winner Ben Barba of the North Queensland Cowboys, who was recently banned for life by the league after allegations of domestic violence. However, at Melbourne Storm there is a culture that is envied across the NRL. Donaghy and his team have carefully worked at how they deal with the reality of a team full of young men, many of them away from home for the first time. “We have three full-time staff in the players’ wellbeing space and we’ve had a psychologist who has been part of staff for the past two years and she is outstanding,” Donaghy says. “They are all young men, they’re all exposed to challenges throughout that period of life, and how they deal with it is really important. “When they come to the club we are putting them in the right environments, we are training them up and educating them on expectations, what’s required of them – not just being a Storm player, but being a role model.” Proudly walking through their offices at AAMI Park on to the vast, empty stadium, Donaghy speaks warmly of the club’s family atmosphere and its attitude to “bad eggs”. “Talent’s one thing, but character is probably more important,” Donaghy says. “You’ve got to have talent to play the game,
Wo r d s
LU K E D E N N E H Y ●
there is no doubt about that, but you have to have the right character to fit in here. You need to buy into what the football club’s about. If you buy in, you succeed.” In the very old days, the players’ common room may have had a fridge full of Victoria Bitter in the corner, but now the space is full of kids’ toys. “It’s so great to hear kids’ voices screaming through the building,” Donaghy says. “Often they are a young [Cameron] Smith, or a young [Billy] Slater; there have always been kids floating around Storm for as long as it’s been in existence, and long after I’ve gone it needs to continue because family is such an important part of the club.” The legacy left by the now-retired champion Billy Slater and former long-time player Cooper Cronk is not just of on-field statistics but also a contribution to the values and culture at the Storm. Like Donaghy, they are natural leaders. Add to the mix the loyalty and passion of the long-time coach Craig Bellamy and captain Cameron Smith, and there is a lot for the young players to be inspired by. Being a CEO in any sporting club, especially at a club like Storm where there is a lot of interstate travel, is very demanding. As well as young Pippa, Donaghy and his wife Sharyn have a son Hugh, five. “You can’t do this job by yourself,” he says. “I’ve got this gratitude for her and the kids and how they’re able to understand it’s a pretty [demanding] job. “She is very tolerant.” ● NRL SEASON 2019 \ Melbourne Storm opens the season against the Brisbane Broncos on Thursday, March 14, at AAMI Park, Melbourne. ● melbournestorm.com.au

ournalist Monica Tan had just hit her early 30s, had travelled the world and was revelling in her dream job at The Guardian when a crisis of sorts struck. Despite the odd trek in Tasmania and trips to Perth and Melbourne for work, the self-declared “hipster, Asian girl townie” barely knew the country of her birth; that vast expanse of Australia beyond the urban fringes was a huge mystery to her. She set about changing that by chucking in her job, stuffing her Toyota RAV4 full of water tanks, jerrycans and sleeping bags and setting off on a sixmonth, 30,000-kilometre trip through some of the most remote parts of the continent. Stranger Country reads as a highly entertaining travelogue and a searing critique of race relations in Australia, and the ignorance many
have about key aspects of our Indigenous history. We feel as though we’re in the passenger seat as Tan takes us to Lake Mungo, Kakadu, the Kimberley, the Lurujarri Trail, Alice Springs and Darwin. She absorbs Aboriginal culture and traditions, while learning about the dispossession, massacres and other shameful episodes of our past. She gives a great insight into the important role Chinese Australians played in building the country,. Lighter moments abound as Tan comes across

or someone who makes a living telling jokes, Nazeem Hussain admits he isn't the funniest member in his family. “My mum [Mumtaz Hamid] is actually the life of the party whenever she's in a room,” says Hussain, who was raised by a single mother after his parents split and his dad migrated back to Sri Lanka. “And my younger sister [Azmeena], who just became a partner in a Melbourne law firm, is also loud, quirky and very funny. Next to her
I'm the quiet one and she's also my biggest critic.” The Melbourne comedian, who quit working as a tax consultant in 2013 to produce his first TV show Legally Brown for SBS, says he doesn't regret making the career switch. It has led to plenty more work, including his Channel 7 production, Orange is the New Brown. But his new comedy show, Basic Idiot, is as close as it gets to real time with the popular star.

“It's a show largely about me,” Hussain explains. “I'm a dad now and am mindful that I have to be a father figure to my kid and navigating fatherhood while also maintaining the rage. It's all very complicated – so the show is sort of me reconciling all of my different lives.” The popular comic attracts more than 500 people to his comedy shows during festival season and navigates the topics of racism, politics and religion while dispelling stereotypes along the way. He has a dig at Aussie culture and Muslim faith. His most famous wisecrack was about being confused for an Uber driver when turning up to have dinner at the restaurant instead. “Stand-up is the purest form of comedy and it's the most memorable for everybody involved,” he says. “It's live, personal and in the moment and you can't ignore the elephant in the room. Sometimes
something happens on the way to a gig and I'll include it in a show. If it's newsworthy, you have to go there and audiences are most excited when an act is relatable.” Hussain, who met his wife Shaheeda Abdulla while studying at university, says he always wanted to be a young father – together they are raising their young son Eesa. And what does his mum make of his career switch so far? “Well, she initially wondered how I would make a future telling jokes, but now she can see I am doing OK,” he says. “She loves the shows, comes to half of them and laughs before the punchlines. If I refer to her in the show, she stands up and takes a full 360 [degree] bow. I don't think she's going anywhere.” ●

im Kelly has been part of Melbourne’s Catholic education system for 30 years, but this year he’s taken on another challenge as the foundation principal of the new Glowrey Catholic Primary School in Wollert. The school is at the heart of one of Melbourne’s busiest northern growth corridors and, at full capacity, will be able to accommodate around 600 prep to grade six students. This is Kelly’s third role as principal, but he says being able to build a school community from the ground up is particularly rewarding. “What you set up at the beginning is critical further down the track so it’s an honour to help build a school’s culture from day one,” he says. “Glowrey will be a school where students come
first. It will be a place of high-quality education where each child’s learning and social and emotional needs will be catered for, and a place where gospel values are lived and are visible in all that we do.” The school is named to honour Sister Dr Mary Glowrey who was born in 1887 in Birregurra in country Victoria. She was a humanitarian and medical doctor who may become Australia’s second saint after Sister Mary McKillop. Glowrey spent much of her life from the mid1920s improving access to healthcare in India. She transformed a modest mission into a hospital and her work and legacy continue in India today, with millions of men, women and children benefitting from the healthcare systems she put in place. The Glowrey Catholic Primary School motto – Service, Love, Justice – embodies the life and faith of Sister Dr Mary Glowrey, Kelly says. “She had a great love of God and of people and a strong sense of social justice,” he says. As part of the school’s first Catholic Education Week, Kelly and the school’s staff and students are
“For us, the theme is about making sure our Catholic identity is at the forefront of what we do.” embracing a series of events and activities inside and outside the classroom. “We will attend the Mass for Schools at St Patrick’s Cathedral and will take a representative group of students to the mass. New schools are showcased there and presented to the Archbishop and we will be part of that. I believe we will lead the entrance into the cathedral with the Archbishop and be involved in the liturgy of the mass, too.” The school will also celebrate by holding its first open day with families and the community invited to visit and learn more about the school, its facilities and its Catholic ethos. “We will showcase our learning and people can walk through the school and see the students at work and see what we are doing here. Our staff will do tours and students will also talk to visitors about what they are learning.”
TIM KELLY
Importantly, the week and its theme, “Growing Young in Christ”, will also be celebrated with students in the classroom. “For us, the theme is about making sure our Catholic identity is at the forefront of what we do,” he says. “Our students are currently learning about the life of Sister Dr Mary Glowrey and we are celebrating her life. There will be some fun activities for students to take part in and we will have a school assembly to celebrate the week, too. “Catholic Education Week is very special for us this year as it’s the first time we will mark the event. We have a new school and much to celebrate. In the busyness of school life, I think it’s a wonderful idea for everyone to stop and celebrate all that Melbourne’s Catholic schools offer to their communities.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Drawn to the block for its quiet, court position, the builderowners of this property decided to design the house themselves. The news they were expecting twins prompted a rethink of the floor plan and dictated an April 2003 completion date. Fast-forward to 2019, and the residence, with its roof windows, solar panels and C-Bus automation, is still ahead of the game as a stylish promoter of filial harmony. There’s also an engaging duality here, with the facade discretely sweet, and outdoor areas boldly fashioned for fun. “It’s been a sanctuary for us AND the kids,” say the nowseasoned parents. “While they got some privacy upstairs, we had plenty of space downstairs, and everybody enjoyed leisure time out-of-doors.” A wide driveway leads to the backyard garage-cumworkshop. Wrapping the front and left side of the house, the verandah is paved in the same pale earthy tone as the rendered facade. Step through the front door to an airy hallway. Turn left for the study, and right for the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Past the powder room and laundry, the ground level becomes a roomy hub blending kitchen, dining and living areas. Chefs gets gleaming appliances in a glossy, glass and stone setting.
