Peter Jackson is not an interim CEO, he will be here well beyond 2014

Our funding depends on it - he said that today

    I'd be expecting it to look something like.

    Spargo (acting president, you'd expect will be one of the remaining members of the board)

    Greg Healy (another board memebr, but the only one with a football background)

    Jackson (obviously)

    Harley or Ling (recetnly retied AFL captain from a succesful club)

    Matthews (coaching great who from what you hear has no desire to coach again so you'd think wouldn't come into consideration)

    Reckon they'll still need a panel as this will be an extensive search and we'll iadvertise and interview some potential rookie coaches but also invite the likes of Eade, Roos, Williams, Ratten and Ayres in for chat without the need for them to apply.

    PJ will leave no stone unturned.

    I don't think it will be so formal, if Roos wants it he will get it...if not it will be Eade. You wouldn't expect either of these guys to go through the powerpoint presentation.

    I think we need to sort the board out before we can appoint the new coach. Look at it from a perspective candidate’s point of view, I think you would want the board and structure in place before you took the role on. The FD is a big enough mess without throwing the boardroom on top. Plus I am not comfortable with the current rabble of a board being allowed anywhere near this appointment.

    I would like to see the board situation resolved ASAP so that we can then move the rest of the club forward. Anything else is really two steps forward two steps back.

    Not wrong rjay. I wasn't very clear, but when I said that they'll invite the likes of Roos, Williams, Eade, Ratten in for a chat it will probably be just that, a chat to get their thoughts. I wouldn't expect any of those names to be put through a presentation.

    Any rookie coaches that they interview though I'd expect to be death by power point.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
