    There a few vacabcies to fill

    We all know his footy background, but what has he been doing since?

    He is a good person, but does he have business or managerial expertise?

  • Quote

    A big YES to that. President material?

    Or maybe Hutchy just misread Demonland where a number of posters have been promoting him as our possible next senior coach.

    you assume he can read and think

    Coaching in the Ballarat league. Don't know what his business credentials are.

    That's what I was calling for. If swooper does join the board I'll credit myself with getting the ball rolling on that one... :)

    Tell the whole truth TD. Yes, he coach Ballarat in the Ballarat Football League, but now he is coaching Learmonth in the Central Highlands Football League. Depending on which school you attended, the CHFL could be seen as a step up from the BFL, but reality is, it's a step or two backwards.

    Won't harm his impact on the board, but I still laugh/cry/cringe/shake my head/etc at your suggestion that he should be our senior coach.

    Swoopers years at the club were easily my favourite as a supporter. Aside from the success he brought to the club his Melbourne side played a wonderful mix of tough, skilful football. It was a mostly beautiful era. All of us who were around at that time would remember it fondly

    However, as a director Northey would need to offer substantial skills to the board and not just be a feel good appointment

    What a coach....he gave some pretty ordinary sides real grunt . Having turned 70 last week , i would'nt wish any of our current problems on him .

  • Quote

    Sounds like nonsense to me.

    Well it is Demonland,......Roos for coach, Kennett for President, 70 y.o Northey for the Board, seems realistic, depends on how much drink you have consumed I suppose.

    Its not Lyon inspired is it ? :unsure:

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-
