It would be interesting if he fits in. Some of the elite around the club might look down on him for being the CEO of a club in plebian football code.

We get him, we get serious.

there are elite around the club?

they must be masters of disguise

Although he has had success at the Storm, I know him from an earlier incarnation, and the guy is a slippery character. I would be very careful of him.

Wow. After Waldren i would have thought Storm would have been squeaky clean.

Not doubting your word, can you elaborate at all?

I think the elite of the club haven't helped us much of late. Gauci may well fit the bill particularly in terms of his pulling power.

ill go one step further and say its the "elite" of the club that have put us where we are today. a club can only be as strong as its membership and the mfc membership with the power have failed dismally. the outdated attitudes and philosophies toward a professional sporting club have really produced todays results. as many posters keep repeating, results and success/failure are driven from the top down. MFCs "top" are a pretty ordinary group of thinkers. Amateur hour and it always will be. coaches , players come and go - the one constant is the supporter base and as a whole the MFC supporter base doesnt know its arse from its elbow.

The elbow is where the leather patch on the tweed jacket goes. Right? Somewhere south of the cravat?

I agree.... Just like other clubs..... Our culture is driven but our supporters..... Our culture sucks...... We are a joke!

Some here think how many rebuilds/five year plans can one club have...... Hows about we actually see out a five year plan, for the full five years....

With the storm being sold today and the management restructure that has followed, Ron Gauci has been flicked as CEO in favour of one of the new owners merry men.

I reckon he would be a really good appointment if Peter Jackson does not continue after his 6 month contract. He went to the storm post the kaka hitting the fan and from what I see the club is running like a well oiled machine.

No!

the club has been driven mainly by conservatives from the MCC Northern Stand... all too conservative for AFL, mostly,,,,,, better Suit-ed to cricket.

...... introverted thinking & attitudes, have created a Pacifistic Environment, which the young players come into contact with on a regular basis, & soon

they are unwittingly under its spell.

We end up with choir boys & businessmen, but No Warriors.

..... we need administrators with Aggression & Vision,,,,, Entrepreneurs, who'll take chance to make the opportunities such as the likes of the Olympic Swimming Centre happen..... and to drive a culture of Passion & of Inclusiveness that Jimma would have been Proud of.

.... the sooner we build a Training/Office-Social Hub, the quicker we can escape the Conservativeness thats strangled this AFL footy club.

I wouldn't be surprised if PJ stayed on as our CEO. He states that at the moment the greatest challenge in the AFL is the MFC. Then he said I love a challenge. Lets just hope he falls in love with the place, has all the power again. There would be a golden handshake from Andy if he did turn us around!!.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
