Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,681 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 According to Hackinson on Footy Classified, John Northey has been approached to join the board
Adam The God 30,753 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Was waiting for this thread. Love this idea.
monoccular 17,761 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 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?
Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,681 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 He would be there as a football man
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Or maybe Hutchy just misread Demonland where a number of posters have been promoting him as our possible next senior coach.

MadAsHell 4,217 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 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? Coaching in the Ballarat league. Don't know what his business credentials are. Or maybe Hutchy just misread Demonland where a number of posters have been promoting him as our possible next senior coach. 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... Edit: Spelling
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 you assume he can read and think Perhaps I should have said someone who works for him read Demonland and mentioned it to him...

Red N Blue Society 165 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Really? Swooper? Thats great if hes up for the challenge!

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.

FarNorthernD 5,863 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 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
dee-eee 231 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 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 .
bluey 1,124 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 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.
beelzebub 23,392 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Sounds like nonsense to me. Its not Lyon inspired is it ?
What 18,810 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 he must be over 70 years old now he looked like he was 50 back in 1990
Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 he must be over 70 years old now he looked like he was 50 back in 1990 You are dead right HH. D.O.B. 29 June 1943 He is now 70 years + 3 days.
