    Well its to late for a press conference now right?

    Maybe tomorrow - the thing is if they announce a press conference for tomorrow the media will be waiting in bushes outside Neelds home ...so what do they do?

    The meeting should have started at 10am to allow for this

    maybe they are discussing the new improved blazers that bear better homage to our unparalleled heritage

    That's the whole point. you watch and then come on here and just whinge and whine, why put yourself through it, as I have said before it doesn't matter whether you have supported the team for 5 minutes or 50 years, if you don't enjoy it why bother, it hints at latent masochism........a lot of posters don't whine and whinge on here, they offer constructive thought, there is a group on here that is just "sack everybody we are crap"

    Read all of my posts and then read yours again... I wouldn't take a popularity vote if I was you... I have posted many a constructive thought and don't assume I do not enjoy supporting the Club (or posting on here).... You say : " a lot of posters don't whine and whinge on here, they offer constructive thought "... believe me Satyriconhome, you do not appear to have ever been one of them !! I am not going to cast aspersions on you except to say enough DL members have already done that and I do not see any point in just adding to the list... You are to me a non entity and I just say to you... Enjoy your life and leave yourself COMPLETELY out of mine..Capish ?

    The ABC journalist's report is quoting someone who was at the meeting.

    "To Members and Supporters,


    In today’s Board meeting Peter Jackson presented his early recommendations for our Club following his first month in the role of CEO. Peter Jackson has been asked by the Board to examine every aspect of the Club and today he outlined a number of changes he believes are required to take our Club forward. In coming weeks and months we will seek to change the structure of the Football Department as well as a number of other aspects of our business.

    Today, as with all Board Meetings, there was a presentation from the Football Department from Mark Neeld, Neil Craig, Todd Viney and Josh Mahoney. Our on-field performances have not met expectations this year and everyone in the Football Department continues to face ongoing assessment in their roles as do those employed in other areas of the Club. The Club will make no further comment at this time, in relation to the senior coach position.

    We are extremely pleased to announce today that following the Board’s request to Peter Jackson to extend his tenure as CEO beyond the initial 6 month contract, he has agreed to stay in the role of CEO until at least the end of 2014.

    I will continue to provide you with regular updates.

    Don McLardy"

    PJ officially staying on

    Great news

    how can they be quoting someone who was at the meeting when supposedly the meeting is still going??

    In addition, surely there would be confidentiality agreements in place regarding the discussions of those board meetings, and protocols on how information is to be presented.

    If someone has leaked information to the media from the meeting, they should be removed from the club immediately.

    PJ! Got our man!

    The rest will fall into place. Well, hopefully ...

    New Coach appointed (interim) Possibly Craig..... Neeld to remain on the Coaching Panel ????? Just saying :blink: Probably just as accurate as all other forecasts on this topic ...

  • Quote

    well, looks like it must have just finished if McLardy has released a statement.

  • Quote

    ABC also saying Neeld confident of avoiding the axe .

    At least they have both sides of the story covered.

  • Quote

    Jackson to stay on is good news.

    The rest of that statement indicates that changes are definitely afoot. It's a matter of when, not if.

    Sure is. I wonder what percentage of the 1500 AFL accredited journos actually write about matches? Probably a small minority.

    No, the small minority maintain the tautology reference library.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
