    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

    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.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
