:) Wow. That will make me sleep better. Thanks BB. It's wise of him to talk to the people to get a better feel for the job, and talking to Demetriou, Gough and the like seems to be positive IMO.

Even if Fox doesn't take on the job, the following is positive:

Gough is believed to have painted, like Demetriou, a positive picture of Melbourne's future while not dismissing the club's challenges. Both the AFL and the MCC have unofficially guaranteed they will continue to financially support the Demons next year to the tune of at least $1.5 million.

Demetriou refused to comment when asked about his meeting with Fox, but it is believed the AFL has been encouraged by the depth of talent among Stynes' hand-picked group of directors and by the club's determination to decrease its debt and by its overall prudent financial management since Stynes and his team took over.

Anyhow, if Caroline Wilson is on the money, we should know soon.

I am just wondering what has really changed in the past 2 to 3 weeks that has put Fox back in the race. <_<

Maybe the endorsement of the chiefs of the AFL and MCC and the positive publicity about the debt reduction, Casey situation and the harder recruiting attitude.

Just guessing, but I think Schwab pulling out may have had something to do with it. If he missed out to Schwab, with the spectre of "jobs for the boys" hanging over such an appointment, he would not have wanted to be seen as having missed out on the same job twice in 6 months.

Firstly it wouldn't make his own credibility look great for future applications, and secondly for the club, the process of the Schwab appointment would have appeared to make any other application purely token at best, which would have further stretched the club's credibility when it comes to appointing these top end positions.

To remember where Geelong were and to see where they now are, and to know he has been a part of that, learning from the best in the business in Brian Cook and Frank Costa, gives me hope. Different club, different dynamics - but a mess is a mess and they fixed it. Jimmy and the board seem really keen to get him and appear to have wooed him back.

I just hope he genuinely wants the job and then actually lands it. He obviously has the support of the major external parties - being the AFL and the MCC and has spoken with them.

I would not know him if I fell over him, but he's got my tick already - and I hope that makes a difference!

I think Schwab pulling out of the race may have had a little to do with it too. Fox may have pulled out initially thinking it was a foregone conclusion that Schwab was going to get it. Fox meeting with the MCC and AFL regarding the Demons position may have had something to do with it too. Then again, there may be some other circumstance..

I reckon this just about summarises it. One way or another Fox has already invested some time into the process sohe must be more than a little interested. Leaving everything in the past..in the past i think an appointment such as his might resolve a few other problems.. sponsorship being one. Youd only have to presume as a potential you might be happier knowing the ship was to be sailed well !! Speculative I agree..but not without cause.

That's probably it. But last I heard there were 2 guys who were considered the front runners (I've got no idea who they are, it was in the paper), so maybe he missed the boat.

The crucial chief executive appointment at Melbourne now appears to rest largely upon whether Fox chooses to remain a contender. He was quietly persuaded by the Demons to return to the frame last week and has spoken several times with the club, which has also interviewed Hawthorn's No. 2 executive, Terry Dillon.

You would think its Fox's if he wants it.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
