I know 2 Board members from different club who have said that the only Footy bosses worth their salt (compared to the corporate world) are Brian Cook and I think Nisbett from WCE. Having said that, if you can be at Collingwood for so long, you must have some good things going on.

I smell he has a better offer elsewhere.

Of course I would love your thoughts to be fact!

that maybe, OD, but we have the backing & persuasion of the 'knights of the round table'... so you never Know your luck in a big City?

... did you ever consider he may be getting (Sic) of stripes? :rolleyes:

You could look at it from a different direction and say most people could be succesful at the Pies.

Good Player List, Rolling in money and will be into the next millinium, good management around you, supporter base will take whatever you serve up.

I reckon I could make a reasonable fist of it at Collingwood.

Seems to be a lot of confusion on here about his role. He was not a Board member, he was not the CEO which is what Cook and Nisbett are. He is the guy who is the head of the Footy Dept. This is the position PJ has said he is creating and is actively looking for someone to fill. This is the position that Mahoney is fulfilling on an interim basis at the moment and has to apply for along with everyone else. This is the position that will report to PJ and will replace the 4 people who were reporting to Schwabb.

My guess he has a job to go to and told Eddie who said ok, get stuffed I'm making you work out your 3mth gardening duty. This is almost the most important position PJ has been looking to fill, he would have worked with Walsh at Nth. Connect the dots!

UPDATE: Apparently he's just been interviewed on SEN and has categorically stated he hasn't spoken to anyone else. So who knows what's going on. You usually only leave a job like this in the middle of the job ie the season, if you have another job or have a falling out with your employer and you get the flick or resign.

Agree with most of your post but don't remember PJ being at North.

Bit of case of whatever they say making news as well.

Harry O and Eddie are always in the news, it's just this time they made a bigger splash.

Not convinced the other 4 players said anything too out of line either. And you can add Dane Swan to the list.

Buckley is revamping the club to do things his way. He would've learnt that under Mick and with his natural confidence/arrogance it's not a surprise either. It's just a question if it will work.

Well you're talking about CEOs there, and Geoff Walsh is not one of those.

However, Peter Jackson is.

In addition to that, Cook is not the messiah he is beaten up to be.

He's just had to fire the Cats GM of commercial ops after they have performed poorly financially this season, and he is under some scrutiny from the board.

A very capable CEO, but hardly infallible.

No one is infallible 'Mach', but his record is 2nd to none. At least he has taken quick action to change things up.

yes but does he have a manager or other, looking after his affairs of state.

paper talk is only worth the old friday fish wrappers, but these days its to throw out the seefood leftovers into the bin.

we'd have to be in the box set.

hawks aren't looking for someone to fill this role - they poached fantasia from the bulldogs to service this exact role, unfortunately he's been very ill since jumping from dogs to hawks.

so these clubs are looking for the (equivalent of) gmfo:

melbourne

collingwood

footscray

walsh would be ideal for all three, but he's just left one of them...

very weird what's going on at the pies at the moment.

there's also a strong possibility that there'll be a vacancy at the peptides in this role.

Can you name the only AFL Senior Coach Peter Jackson has appointed?

Hopefully he has learnt from the mistakes at Essendon in his tenure as CEO that saw them decline into mediocrity.

Also saw them win the 2000 grand final and almost be the perfect team.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
