No, needs experience has none.

Dermott gave a dark horse in Peter Schwab as coach but I think he has all the experience and skills to head the football department. Administrator, coach, media commentator and premiership player. Coming up on open mike this week, when I saw this I thought he would be the type of person we could do with.

From a very good source. Not confirmed as not in media yet!

Would prefer him on the board or in a spruiking role like Connolly's as I suspect he will probably be asked to look for work elsewhere when his suspension is up.

I think David Schwarz would make an excellent media personality.

When PJ said we needed to bring in the best people in the business, I'm very doubtful that he was implying Ox. Your "good source" is yanking your chain.

Nup. Get him back at the club but we need a bloke with experience in that kind of job. Get the Ox on the board but not in that job.

Peter Schwab WOULD be an excellent head of FD.

No No No

He could be a figurehead President, but he'd need a great team to support him

Repeat after me: Presidents aren't just figureheads. Presidents aren't just figureheads. Presidents aren't just figureheads.

Relevance? Mahoney is probably (surely) one of the primary people Jackson talks about when mentioning people too inexperienced for the role they are in. It seemed apparent to me at the time that he was appointed that it was because he was contracted but not required as a coach.

Head of the football department is vital, not something we can chance, maybe he would be better as a forward development coach or something, could think of much worse influences working with clark, dawes and hogan, possibly watts if he plays forward.

He's an intelligent bloke Mahoney. Know him through a friend but never get any good info out of him. But your right, it's a bloody big role for someone as inexperienced as he is.

I love the Ox, would love him really involved with the club.

Could he be worse than what we have? Possibly not, I also think he is also smart enough to seek advice.

Sorry, but being no worse than what we have already doesn't hold water. We nee LOTS of high quality, experienced people on board. What people management skills and experience does the Ox bring? He's a media personality FFS. The only reason he'd be smart enough to seek advice is because he's he has no real smarts himself. Don't get me wrong, I really loved the Ox as a player and love the way he supports the club and wears his heart on his sleeve, but that's about it. No thanks.

Passionate people often make an immediate impact among a group which is especially true with a young list

Passion can also be blinded with the emotion and make blunders due to lack of experience

IMO Peter Jackson is the seasons best recruit and will make decisions and recommendations based on what is best for the whole club which is my preferred option

Jackson is no dill and will use passionate people like Ox in spots which do the most good

There are lots of problems at the MFC and this season will be important

Ox is a great thinker but also a passionate peoples person. Something we lack.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
