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.

This picture just made my day.

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.

Cats' Fox back in the mix for top job at Demons

[Mousey 47]

great news and good job by stynes and crew to persuade him to come back into the comp

[JACKATTACK 17]

... and a good thing too, I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone out there prepared to take the job.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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

c'mon baaaaaabyyyyyyyy......

Well done. Brings back memories of my youth. I obviously had a boring youth.

[Redleg 37,970]

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.

[Beamer 1]

The Fox deal is 75% done.

From what I've heard, Fox isnt entirely happy with our approach to the future but wants the job.
