    I heard a similar reference to him this morning. Apparently he is an Insurance Broker and has links to MFC.

    Now this is purely speculation. I wonder whether the link is Don McL. because he is in Insurance

    Insurance broker - sh#t, sounds like the charismatic frontman we're after.

    It could be worse. We could have an Orthopaedic Surgeon.

    He was also on the board of AON who are the largest insurance broking firm in the World. The MD of AON is also a big Dees supporter.

    Had his own company Freeman McMurrick which was one of the largest Australian owned insurance broking firms.

    I don't doubt that McLardy and Freeman know each other through their respective businesses.

    Pretty cashed up guy from what I understand.

    Was all done a couple of weeks ago.

    Even had a thread on it.

    He was going be in charge of " stake holders and sponsors "

    Obviously you all missed it

    Our board is stacked with top quality successful people.

    I don't see how replacing McLardy with someone similar makes no difference to me.

    I see McLardy only growing with the tribulations we are suffering as long as he gets united support.

    What we need is consistent and quality football advice to the board. If we can combine that with continued financial success and growth of the club we will get somewhere.

    Pretty much the role of the board should be to keep making money and learn to spend it wisely. Our board can do the first of that, I'm not sure they can do the second part.

    Gee we used to have a guy who was president of a global ad agency and was a big Dees supporter. Seemed cashed up. What was his name???

    Left us $5m in debt, hired McNamee without Board approval, didn't like going to rd 1 because we would get belted and he had better things to do and now mouths off about the club and how bad it was at every opportunity.

    What was his name????

    Oh yeah that's right. Paul Gardner. A complete disaster.

    One of the CEO or Club President need to be a high profile, media savvy person, but not both of them. I'm OK with McLardy staying but only if we get a CEO with some urgency, passion and profile. If we get a CEO whose skills are more "behind the scenes", then move McLardy on and make that the high profile position.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
