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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
