As most of us clearly don't know exactly what our List Manager's job description was , we should be careful in criticising. We have someone on here who knows better than most what that was and if he c

I'm so confused around the structures at the club I have no idea if what PJ is doing is right or not. When Craig came to the club and was given his title the MFC attempted to explain his role/duties on the club website. I was baffled then and still are. Was Vineys role different to Harringtons? Is anyone doing Craig's role now his is interm Head Coach? Who were the 4 employees reporting to CS? I was under the impression that Craig reported directly to the board to minimise CS's influence over the FD. This was reported after 186 and when Craig was appointed

Craig may have been reporting directly to the board, but I don't think anyone was reporting to him.

He was only there as a "mentor" - that's my understanding, at least.

It's the fuzzy logic and indirect reporting lines that lead to the inefficiency we've displayed as a football club.

I can only assume Schwab was trying to give the appearance of staying out of the footy dept, so he could assume the role of GMFO that he really coveted, along with CEO.

Otherwise, there's no logic for why he'd set up such a snakes and ladders organisational structure.

Very happy to see him gone.

The list is a mess and Harrington has been responsible for "managing it" since 2009.

He couldn't polish the turd quick enough?

I am sorry - it isn't so easy. We did not have a great list before he came and we don't have one now.

Just because his job was made redundant doesn't mean he should shoulder the blame.

There is plenty to go around to over a decade of coaches, recruiters, and administrators.

P.J. was pretty clear that his sacking had nothing to do with performance. I'm not in the reNeducation camp that buys all the spin but I think that Harrington's is more a redundancy than a sacking. We pay boatloads to coaches and officials and for what? The whole process needed to become streamlined.

Goodness me, what are your career prospects once you are made redundant at the MFC, a club that needs list management more than any other club in the history of the AFL?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
