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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
