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.

Done a little bit more research

He is a member of our Foundation Heroes

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.

As well guys is about to join the board.

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.

Don McLardy has said that he is in it for the long haul, we will see how this pans out.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
