Deemotivated
in Melbourne Demons

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?

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

    Keep that in the memory...Thanks.

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 the outdated attitudes and philosophies toward a professional sporting club have really produced todays results.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

    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!!.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
