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.

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... :)

Pretty sure he's been running pubs back as far as when he was coaching us.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
