    he should be the permnent CEO, not interim

    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.

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

    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.

    Just heard Peter Jackson will be our new CEO, not sure if its interim or not.

    [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.

    he should be the permnent CEO, not interim

    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

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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
