I do understand that many are unlikely to remain in current positions for the simple reason many of those jobs will be redrawn. You could well be right rjay that Jackson is operating in the manner you describe.

I think Mahoneys abilities are looked upon favourable by Jackson but where they can be best utilsed in a FD we'll only know when we see the nature of the new beast.

Id be curious as the the model being envisaged. I think Jackson likes efficiency both in design and implementation. ( dont we all ) so am leaning towards a far more streamlined FD ( possibly less personnel ) but with roles expanded somewhat and higher caliber people doing them. Payroll doesnt change a lot but synergies and outcomes would change dramatically.

Decision making becomes more effecient and time spent in 'meetings' decreases. Less talk, more action :)

See it pretty much the same as you here and think that along with the board these things are vital to the clubs future. I have faith that this time we will get it right.

Basically I agree with you and bb.

However I had the same faith in 2008 and look where that ended!

New board member: Glenn Bartlett.

Ex Eagle, East Perth stalwart.

Managing Partner, Clayton Utz in Melbourne.

From what I understand a very, very good get.

this official? nothing on the club website

I'll leave it to others to post generic links to public information.

What a smug response. How about you just post the link? There's nothing on the MFC site or either of the main newspapers websites.

Completely understand your point 'old dee'.

The AFL have stated that they will have a say in the composition of our new board. The Commission meets next Monday to discuss our assistance package, so it may become clearer after that.

Bartlett ! I was worried it may have been Kevin.

Has anyone heard the results of Trotters Audit on the current board.

Or does the amount of resignations suggest the results are done?

I acknowledge that but as the rebuilding of the board is a dynamic and ongoing thing I dont ( for mine ) see why that would wait for an announcement. I think Monday is more about the $ Value and a heads up on where its likley to sway re draft help.

If Chook is right ( and have no reason to suspect he may not be ) then its a very different type of board coming our way. Very business at hand style. A handful of 'outsiders" cant hurt. In a way then wed be just widgets, that is to say the 'blinding' passion and bias would be absent. Not altogether a bad thing in business

I would add " and approve the new board members / President"?

Apologies - that reads far more obnoxious than it was intended.

There is no news link to the best of my knowledge. I'm sharing a tip.

Any tips on Roos?!

MFC better check on the spelling of his name. It's Glen in the text of the website and Glenn under the photo.

I note he's ex-WCE. As a matter of interest (and this is definitely not be interpreted as any criticism of our new Director) but I couldn't swap allegiances just because I move interstate. Could any of you?

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt but he is starting on the back foot

Hate East Perth with a passion

No.

It is good to know he was a Foundation Hero and a member for a few years, the idea of picking up non-Demons for the Board is abhorrent to me.

He played 4 games there 25 years ago. Left in less than harmonious circumstances.

He's a Melbourne supporter since childhood.

    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
