    Quick give him some peptides....

    Too soon???

    He still has a reputation and the fact that he is only there for 6 months limits his ability to make serious changes and possibly limits his authority.

    I don't know why you would think he would have limited authority? He's the CEO! If he exercises his authority he'll soon work out who is or isn't capable or on board and that's where the serious change starts.

    Having said that I'm not sure about the need for much further drastic change but to simply continue to move away from harmful people and period at the club. I expect he will be able to smoke any remaining rats out.

    ...and you point is that luckily we didn't appoint Ian Robson, Essendon CEO since 2009 to run our club.

    Peter Jackson is credited with turning them around while there.

    Wasn't there for the Dank stuff so bit of a long bow to try and blame him.

    Yes. When was our last one again?

    And Knights came in 6 years ago if you want to talk about the past.

    In the end, if you think he's no good for us then you're a fool.

    I don't know what you are expecting Stu......As I said in another thread.....He will review the business side of the club which last time I looked was running at a small profit......What if he looks at the FD and agrees that you can't turn a club around in a year and a half and thinks that the FD are on the right track???.....Will you call for his sacking?????.......And WE played against ESS in their last premiership....And because I don't think he is the Messiah does not make me a fool.......Just makes you look like one.....

    I didn't say he's the messiah, I was merely stating he's a quality football person with excellent credentials. You obviously have a low opinion of him purely because he signed Knights, yet you ignore the premiership, financial strength, and membership build he was a big part of.

    Maybe you think we should have just kept chugging along with our "small profit" and "FD on the right track" though? Nice plan...

    James Hird inherited a very good list thanks to a lot of hard work by Matthew Knights.

    Even Essendrug scum who called for his head will admit it now.

    Hird & Bomber made the job of Knights untenible.

    & both of them are looking very suspect today.

    Hopefully he will put the frighteners on the football department and rid them of the bad hobbits they have been developing.

    Hopefully he will bring the warring parties at the club together, only joking, that will never happen.

    Whatever the root cause/causes the bottom line for our club is pizz poor onfield performance. What CAN this guy realistically be expected to achieve in 6 months to start some sort of recovery from the mess of the last 7 years?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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?
