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.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
