Heard on telly that Greg Wells may try to get on the MFC board. Quoted as saying something about like getting 80's players involved. Interesting, like he may be trying to distance himself from the junior old boys that plague us at the moment. Any opinions?

    He'd be at least worth listening to.

    Maybe we should poach Neil Balme.

    Call me sentimental, but I'd like to see Neil Daniher back with us in some capacity.

    I think he'd be really helpful for the young kids we got, take us back to basics.

    The reality is that the hardest positions to fill on an AFL Club Board are Football Directors. Ideally you need candidates who have a mix of footy and business experience. That automatically narrows the pool. Then they need to have time available to devote to their board responsibilties and a desire to commit that time to their board responsibilties. This is time away from from their responsibilities to their own companys and familes. We saw how hard it was for us to replace Andrew Leoncelli when he stepped down due to work pressures until Sugar Healy was persuaded to step up.

    thats what a football club already is, is a club for boys... what you really mean is a club within the boys club

    got to be speciifc on what this actual club is ?!? Is any past player a member of this club??

    Wellsy has a mature head on his shoulders & is a sound business man, & has played at a premiership winning club in its prime.

    He would be good.

    He could bring a Pre Gen X work ethic to the the Gen-x's & me's...

    its about time we went back to 'Adam', with our attiudes & values as a work-ethic & our fight for one another.

    Would be happy to consider Wells....He was a gun player, who i have heard has been successful.

    I played with Greg Wells in the old VFA.....He is a Bentleigh boy who has his own sign writing business which he started back in those days.....He is a very successful business man and has a good football knowledge or he did have....I don't know about now though.....

    Bentleigh Signs, very successful man, could do a lot worse.

    You would mean getting the 70's boys because that was the era he played in. Chris Connolly and Greg Healey are part of the hopeless 80's clique that got us into successive finals. If he got in 70's true blue demons like Gerard Healey, crackers Keenan and stan Alves now that would be something.

    Above all else, MFC needs leaders, on and off the field. Champions, past and present. Wells fits into that I guess, so get him involved. Doesn't have to be on the board; Greg Healy is footy director.

    Get Gerard Healy involved, Stan Alves - anybody of champion status and is a past player. Those 2, among others, left MFC to find success; they ought to have a lot to pass on.

    Heavens knows we have no champs on the field; so we need to get ex-champs involved. What the hell is Neitz doing?

    • 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.
