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)

    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 :)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
