We seem to hear little about Mahoney in current discussions.

Can someone tell me: what was his position at the club i.e. what did he actually do and how does his new job differ from his old one?

    As Head of Footy Ops he is the interim boss of the FD and reports to Jackson. Everyone below him reports to him (Craig, Viney, Harrington, Taylor)

    He used to have a similar title but who TF knows where he was in the structure.

    He had the title but Schwab had the job. At least that's been sorted out.

    What rjay means by this is that Schwab had 4 people in the FD reporting to him, which means that there is no clear boss of the FD - leaving Schwab as the man with all the knowledge and decision making powers.

    I honestly had no idea this was the set-up when we first did it. I thought Craig was the boss and reported to the CEO and Mahoney did the piddley crap Craig didn't want to do, but to have 4 lines of communication upward - while it allows more information upward, not having a clear boss of the FD would not help it function to say the least...

    Thanks guys, I was never quite sure where the line of command went with Mahoney, Craig, Schwab et al.

    Seems to have been a bit of a balls up eh!

    But I suppose my real surprise is that with all the corporate heavyweights on the board no one saw fit to tighten up the lines of communication/job descriptions!

    i think Josh Mahoney is rated pretty highly for his footy brain, but he doesn't have the experience or the skill to be the head of footy

    I guess its entirely up to the new coach if he stays or not, but he definitely wont head the FD

    It isn't up to the new coach - hence the new structure. The only people who should report to the coach, and therefore be appointed by the coach, are the assistant coaches.

    As for Mahoney, I think it's up to Jackson. I expect he will either become the head of FD, or he'll be redundant.

    Perhaps CS would call each of them into his office to critique his new blazer designs?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
