I'd say it will take him roughly a decade to be able to get down all our issues on paper so don't hold your breath Striker.

But seriously I'd say late this season he'll probably be reporting his findings to the AFL. Whether or not we get to see what he comes up with, who knows.

Gerard Healy mentioned during the commentary that it would be delivered to the AFL within the next few weeks. I'd say we'll be able to move on Neeld during or just after the bye. Considering we play St Kilda after the bye (we might be a legitimate chance there), it might be the perfect chance to unveil an interim coach.

Hang on why would he be delivering it to the AFL. Should he not be delivering it to the Board and if not are we under administration because my impression is that the CEO reports to the Club Board first and then the Board through the President to the AFL.

Further to this, everyone calling for the AFL to step in take a deep breath and just think about what you are actually calling for. Do you want the AFL/Vlad running our Club. There has to be a better way.

There is no report in the sense it has been put here. We have a new, albeit acting, CEO, doing what any new CEO would do. Obviously, part of that is reviewing what has been happening, proposing a way forward, and implementing whatever changes he sees as appropriate.

Also, he's not answerable to the AFL, he made that clear in his first press conference. He's employed by Melbourne and answerable to the board.

They are already running our club via financing.

To be honest, I do know what I'm calling for.

The AFL holds the licences to 8 AFL sides. Of those eight sides, five of them have won flags over the last 20 years, 4 of them having won more than 1. They've accounted for ten of the last 20 flags despite being a minority of the competition for most of that time.

While there is the independence side, the AFL have control of the funding already and could kill us tomorrow if they wanted. Obviously they don't.

Of course not. The broadcasting agreement states 9 games a week.

We have 4 years to get our act together or die or be relocated(nice and warm in the NT)

There isn't a better way. MFC has shown itself unable to competently manage its affairs.

You are seriously dreaming if you don't think Jackson is an AFL appointment under veil of the structure you outlined.

Does it ever make you wonder why a person of Jackson's calibre with significant senior business interests with AFL would do a "charity" 6 month stint at MFC? As Demetriou has said the AFL has "recommended" Jackson.

If the Board had any sense they would be co operating with Jackson and the AFL.

I think we are effectively under the AFLs control now. We may have become an unofficial expansion club in terms of the level of support we will receive from the AFL. It's embarrassing but necessary. I mean apart from the Ox we haven't exactly had people banging down the door to get involved.

Really? I'm a member and don't remember being involved in any decision or even being told we've been put into administration.

I think we need to be very careful making assumptions about corporate responsibility. As far as I'm concerned, the corporate governance scheme currently in place is that Peter Jackson reports first, foremost and only to the Board. The Board, as part of its licence (franchise) agreement is accountable to the AFL. I have no doubt the AFL is taking a keen interest and that Peter Jackson's appointment not only has the support of the AFL but may well have been encouraged by the AFL, but whether we like it or the AFL likes it, Jackson is still accountable to the Board and us as members.

Conversely, and what follows from the above, is that as members, we need to take responsibility for appointments to the Board. So, rather than just blaming the Board, we should be actively considering how to improve it. I hope the next round of elections will be a very interesting time.

Any more detail iva?

The board have been scheduled to meet about now for weeks anyway, plus Jackson has stated in the media that changes were going to happen in the FD, don't read into it too much.

Sorry Binman, I can't. Would love to, but I have been asked not to say anything further and I have given that undertaking. All I can say, there will be a meeting this week, with changes to follow.

You bloody tease.

My mail, which I'm assuming is what Iva's possibly alluding to is the decision to Move Neeld will be made early this week and he will coach his last game against the Hawks. Source has a 60/40 record so whether concrete or not we will see.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
