I hope he stays long term, hes just what we need, a guy with AFL experoience , fresh set of eyes, runs on the board..

and best of all he doesnt have the stench of MFC attached to him at all

He probably wouldn't be interested given his own business interests. As interim CEO I assume he'd be on consultant coin (i.e. costing a fortune), so a short term lark would suit him.

Nonetheless it's good to know that the club is in the hands of a man with many years of relevant experience and success while it finds a suitable permanent candidate.


I like, I like. 14 years at the Dons.

So did he leave EFC prior to this Melbourne job? and if so anyone know why?

He left in 2009 and started running his own consultancy company. It's in he link to the Melbourne FC website

Where does he stand on beards?

And does he have a sleeve?


Peter Jackson is all over it.

Like a cheap suit.

Smokin' new appointment.

Evidence?

MJT doesn't need evidence.

He just listens to the voices in his tiny brain.

"The Board is the first to acknowledge that today the Club as a whole, both on and off the field, has not met the goals we set 4 years ago. This is unacceptable and must be addressed."

Absolutely shocking.

The last time this club hired a well-known CEO, he wanted to throw money at a superstar and we dumped him because we wanted to go the youth route.

That has worked out superbly.

The ineptness of this club never ceases to amaze me.

No evidence from me but I would think they played more than a small part in the appointment. Don's picked up the phone and had a chat with AD.

He left to resurrect the flagging fortunes of his inexpensive imported suit business

The problem is we are inept at being inept, we can't even get that right. (tanking, getting rid of older players etc.)

Hopefully he will bring a supply of anti-ineptness pills and cure our stupidity.

Seems on the surface a sound decision but we will have to wait and see. From what I've heard the Bomber supporters say he was great at making money, but not so good at reinvesting it in the football department and he let the facilities run down; whether that's the way it was or not, who knows.

Yep just imagine signing JBrown on a $5m over 5yr deal when we were $5m in debt already,

We wouldn't have a club you goose.

 

I am also happy with this appointment. At the very least he will be in a position to cast an unbiased, critical eye over every area of the club.

Having said that, when he left Essendon in 2009 they weren't in great shape.

He also re-signed Knights on a 3 year deal, approximately 9 months of which he served.

[Admin edit: Confirmed as interim CEO]

Great if confirmed - I did ask what he was up to when news of CS sacking came through.

A big coup.

A huge task for him but he has a good history.

Maybe they are awaiting Gary Lyon's blessing / approval ;-)))

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
