The AFL will be watching the MFC very closely for the next few years, you can bet your Granny on that.

Angry Anderson would be the perfect fit. He already knows the inner workings of the AFL.

You could be sure a win at all costs (legally) mantra would be spruiked.

As he was the protagonist of tanking.

I am not saying it is right or wrong. But you can be assured the AFL will want somebody they can work with.

    Are you asking a question?

    emh, yeah, & issuing a challenge to see if we could budge him from his perch?

    I don't know his contract status except he rejected North, who the "AFL apparently" were trying to set Cook up, as their man in the Roos office.

    Maybe at the end of the 2013 season Cook could work for the AFL, in the MFC front office???

    Has the business accumen and would have a good handle on where we are at, but personally would like someone without an MFC background.

    The club needs fresh ideas and a new outlook that would come from an outside view.

    I'd prefer to have Greg entrenched on the Board,,,, with a person of high business standing, But a "Thoroughbred Blue Collar" sleeves rolled up, manly way about him...

    pull no punches, Micky Conlon to add the rough to the MFC imagery... I'd rather us go for a Gary Pert style anytime.

    Greg can wait, his role isn't there just yet.

    Cook has a great record at both West Coast and Geelong. In both cases he had a club operating out of a stadium where demand exceeded supply. That makes life a bit easier on the financial front.

    The miracle he achieved at Geelong was convincing the bank (the NAB I think) to take a haircut of some millions. Without that the Cats may well still be rooted.

    If he has any more miracles in his bag of tricks I'd like him to throw a few our way.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
