First up I like CS and he's done a great job. My point is if the club and CS part ways at the end of the year, could Eugene Arocca be an option as it appears things are not rosy at roo's.

Highly regard, done well at both ends of the AFL spectrum, pies to roos...

In due diligence, shouldn't we at least make contact at some point in the near future.

    What is happening right now at the Roos is proving my point about waiting until the season is over.

    The Roos have enough to worry about without having an 'acting CEO' and a 'crisis' to deal with.

    All those wanting Cam's blood, and they have quietened down since around 10:45 last Saturday, should take note.

    U talking to me? His only chance is if our players show some élan for the rest of the season and somehow save his hide.

    Any strategy for the re-appointment or removal of a CEO that revolves around how on-field results is foolish.

    He'll be judged on stakeholder engagement, strategic direction, and all the other boring crap you don't care about ADC.

    His last extension was the judgement of his performance prior to 186, his next one will be based, for better or worse, oh his record since then.

    Does this come with a "I believe in Cam" tag?

    If CS is re appointed later this year i have no problems. If someone like Arrocca is a better man so be it.

    Cam has done a lot for our club over the last 4 years. My only worry was EW, but that seems to be in the past. What led up to 186 inhouse must be fully dealt with, whatever it entailed. Learnt from.

    If CS was instrumental in getting Neeld and our Coaching panel i will back him 100%

    beamer sure looked like a new player last saturday night, so just maybe all levels of the club are on the same level now

    Next monday will tell more.

    My worry is that Cam can't tell what is good for the FD. Remember that Jim would have relayed his expectations to Garry regarding the FD initially.

    I wouldnt mind Arocca. Understands what good FDs look like, was probably hamstrung by North's cash flow issues.

    This Arocca fellow reminds me of the type that might have run a flower shop in old time Chicago and hung around with unemployed violinists. Whether good or bad for us I dunno.

    Call me stupid/ignorant/naive but ummm, what's wrong with the CEO we have?

    Look at his track record over the past 20 years. Ask anyone at Richmond, the Gutnick people, and Freo but not his mates.

    Interesting imagery.......

    What's that? Club acknowledges off field decision making does impact on field performance and CEO resigns. For shame!

    Did nobody tell him not to show up, call your mates and push the blame onto everybody else?

    This bloke has a lot to learn. ;)

    (I'm sorry, but I really thought we could get through a week here on D'land without this old chestnut again)

    I didn't realise the CEO would be judged based on on-field performance...

    Gove up ADC, you don't have a clue.

    Is that because he's Italian? Nice :wacko:

    Not sure about this, he seems to have had conflict with the football manager at North. Healthy debate is fine but I would be concerned he may have been getting too involved in FD business. Sound familiar?

    He goes on to say in further tweets that it is just a rumour that he hopes isn't true. I have a connection close to the North heirachy that is not aligned to Brayshaw. Basically said Brayshaw was talking out his rectum today but never mentioned anything re insolvency. They may be in a real battle at the moment but i highly doubt insolvency.

    I hate to say this but it looks like the Kangaroos are between Arocca and a hard place.

    ......boooyah!

    Champagne stuff WJ :)

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
