Ron Gauci... get him

Featured Replies

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 have not seen you much lately dc

But that is back to your best.

keep them coming I need a little more cheer around Demonland


All I can say is I have seen him act in a very divisive manner.

Keep that in the memory...Thanks.

smooth mkII ?

 

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 the outdated attitudes and philosophies toward a professional sporting club have really produced todays results.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?

If Gauci ends up at Essenscum I'll be a tad disappointed. Anyone think it was a coincidink Robson resigned not long after the Gauci was noted as a free agent?

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....


On the ABC, they interviewed Gauci who stated he had been an essendon supporter for a long time. Was keen to apply for the job...

Oh for fs sake!

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!!.

this is what I am hoping and it would be the best thing for the MFC

Apparently has his hand up for the Essendon job. Hopefully doesn't get it though. Wouldn't mind him. Met all the KPIs at Storm.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • 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.
