Well it seems that Brett Lovett the former Melbourne Demons player has been sacked as Coach of the Sandringham Zebras in the VFL.

Here is a link to the article about it: http://www.theage.co...1009-1lft3.html

Perhaps he would be a good replacement for Garry Lyon as "Director of Football" .....?? However, I suppose it is up to Mark Neeld and the MFC board.

I would prefer for Garry Lyon to stay at the MFC in some capacity though.

Anyways, I would like to hear people's opinions on whether or not we should consider offering Brett Lovett a job back at the Demons?

He could be considered to take over from Gary but I think the decision is a board one.

Neeld would have little say about who is being appointed to the board in fact I would be surprised if he had any.

I think Gary is sounding people out I thought I heard Gary might be putting the hard word on Gerard Healy.

We wait and see this is an important position which will take time and consideration.

Diablo, someone is taking the pizz if they suggested one Gerard Healy :wacko: Sure it wasn't his brother?

Anyway, in the past the position was filled by a board member, so first you would have to get elected when a vacancy was available

DC I don't think Andrew L's position was ever filled.

Maybe wrong but that is my memory of things from this years AGM.

I think you might be right but would it still require a vote or could the board just appoint a replacement to AL without members voting

Anyway whoever gets the job also has to be prepared to take on board member responsibilities which is another issue

My understanding is they could appoint someone now and if there was no challenger at the next AGM the person is elected unopposed for a term.

Might have been I vaguely recall Lyon mentioning On triple m he was looking for others to take over and mentioning Healy's name.

It was Greg Healy not Gerard Healy.

I dont know what the MFC constitution specifically says but it is usual practice for any director appointed by the Board retire for re appointment at the next available AGM.

Unless Brett Lovett has anything special to provide MFC I am not sure I would be appointing him to any role in deference to the best available candidate. If its indeed him then appoint him. Otherwise we are becoming an Old Boys club. Prefer appointments on merit going forward not just because you played at MFC.

The Football Director requires an 'old boy.'

Nepotism is sometimes required.

Board member. Ear to all at the club. Footy IQ required. Loyalty definitely needed.

An 'old boy' is what is required.

The Whole Old Boys Club thing is the biggest Myth in Football. So many clubshave so called "Old Boys" running the place with Key people who have played for the club intricate to the way its run and coached.

Carlton - kernahan / Ratten / Williams / Bradley all heavily involved in club workings for example. They atre their because they know the club and are good at what they do.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
