    Glen Bartlett (born 10 June 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and East Perth in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

    Bartlett was used most as a key forward at East Perth. He joined West Coast for their inaugural VFL season in 1987 and won their 'Best Clubman' award after playing four games for the year. Despite this he was delisted and returned to East Perth with whom he kicked 69 goals in the 1990 WAFL season to win the Bernie Naylor Medal. He received another chance to play in the VFL when he was recruited by the Brisbane Bears but he did not move from Perth. A trade was considered with Melbourne Football Club for a full forward however Melbourne went for ALan Jackovich instead. Bartlett spent 4 years as Captain of East Perth before retiring after achieving life membership at the age of 26. Bartlett represented his state in an interstate match against South Australia in 1990, kicking three goals from full-forward in the first half. Bartlett retired to concentrate on his law studies becoming a lawyer in 1996, a partner in the workplace relations team of Clayton Utz in 2000 founding the Perth practice. In 2008 Bartlett moved to Melbourne and was appointed Managing Partner of Clayton Utz Melbourne in late 2010.

    I had no idea he played AFL. Bolded part was interesting. :)

    Good luck Glen. Played 4 games with West Coast. Like the 4 games Brian Cook played for us and now successful CEO at Geelong. Perhaps a good omen. No more old boys baggage.

    I don't mean to be rude, but are we basing this on nothing other than Jay Clark?

    I'd be hesitant to accept this as fact without some other, more trustworthy source, confirming things.

    If it's true, however, it's a great get for the club, IMO.

    Would be extremely awkward if you're all emailing him and he hasn't actually been appointed

    Is it official yet?

    Nothing on the MFC web site!

    Maybe PJ will announce it on the couch?

    If this is true then I'm reasonably happy. As I said before he isn't exactly a radical but I'm glad we have a bloke in charge who has spent time outside the MFC bubble. He doesn't have any baggage from previous MFC bun fights does he? (please correct me if I'm wrong)

    If he's half as good as the other President Bartlet I'll be happy.

    I hope not, he was pure fiction.

    If true welcome aboard Glen and good luck!!

    You'd rather a young and vibrant 48 year old president who gets along with the AFL as opposed to an old fart 70 year old politician who's just there for an ego boost, I would've thought.

    as Jethro would suggest....."you'd think !! "

    He spoke well at the lunch on Saturday.

    Certainly had a steely resolve about him which I found pleasantly surprising.

    If the rumour is true, I am pretty happy.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
