He can't be that experienced as he has never managed a football club before. A strong leader has a solid understanding of the industry they manage. Oh well, time will tell if he any good or not, but I have a feeling we lost another opportunity.

Agree time will tell.

    The reason I have taken such an interest about this appointment is because I been a CEO myself and was in that role when I had my stroke. There is a lot of pressure/expectations on a CEO and rightfully so.

    During my working career, I had to rebuild organisations due to poor inexperienced senior management decisions which was the result of selecting the wrong CEO. It will take years to recover from this type of mistake, if not longer, which is likely to result in brand damage, loss of experienced and skilled staff etc.

    The result of making the right decision with regards to the appointment of the CEO is the club is much more likely to achieve and sustain success. The difficulty with this appointment IMO is his inability to show success in the role as a football club CEO.

    I don't know our new CEO, but the clubs interview with him didn't make a good impression on me. But as we both agree only time will tell if this appointment is value adding to the club or not.

    So all I can say now is GO THE DEES!

    I've just had a horrible moment of losing all faith in Australia's health information services.

    Circumstantial confirmation that this info hasn't been updated in at least ten years, and also that this particular item might not actually be a myth.

    Myth: People with type 1 diabetes can’t participate in sports or exercise

    Fact – Many Australian sport champions have type 1 diabetes, for example AFL player Jack Fitzpatrick who plays for the Melbourne Football Club.

    To be fair, this instance is just a straight-up case of public sector cuts based on false efficiencies. It might genuinely be ten years since anyone has had actually had the job to keep public health information up to date or useful, because it doesn't lead to any saleable unit or middle-manager-measurable KPI.

    I believe it is called 'running the government like I run my business' and the punters love it.

    Anyway, I did find the reference to Jack Fitzpatrick as a 'sporting champion' to be amusing as well as alarmingly dated.

    I was loitering in Lancefield today when this senior lady asked me if i'd escort her across the road as she was feeling " a little shaky".

    Ever the gentleman , your good old Uncle Bitter assented. The good lady noticed my Demons polo top and introduced herself as Jake Lever's grandmother.

    She was a delightful lady and we had a pleasant conversation about the Dees.

    It was a nice moment.

    Hey Uncle B. Long time no see (in other threads). Was wondering how you were fairing.

    What a small world. I hope you told his granny that she just met one of the most legendary characters on DL!

    P.S. where the hec is Lancefield?

    We have now possibly reduced our major issues down to two:

    We can't kick a football accurately and

    We can't play four quarters.

    We can't get the account number right for transfers to the umpires.

    Hi DF good to see you in action.

    Hope you are well?

    I been focusing on attending live WAFL games as I only have to travel to Joondalup. I live South of Perth and Joondalup is North. Why do I support clubs that are so far away from where I live 😕 😒 😢 🤔 Well when you support the best you can forget the rest.

    Unfortunately, it looks like Melbourne is falling apart again. Personally finding it hard to understand why we lost four finals games in a row. So I have been keeping a low profile lately.

    Oh my WAFL team is playing poorly as well. But we are getting an expensive electronic scoreboard so there is that.

    Perhaps someone can help me out here. On another thread a poster used the familiar term "first world" - as in first world issue. Obviously, the term "third world" is used often and is familiar. But has anyone heard the term "second world" used or written anywhere? I cannot ever remember it being used - and while i can guess, what does "second world" actually mean?

    I think it could now refer to the current USA.

    A country that doesn't know what it was at present.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
