Just stumbled across an article by Mark Stevens. Interesting thought but I cant see Mike doing it.

hmmmm :huh:

its tempting to dismiss it out of hand for probably silly reasons.

No sillier than some other ideas.

There are precedents

    Yes it is sillier than other ideas.

    Pros
    - Good relationship with the AFL

    - Knows his footy

    - Good for public image

    Cons

    - ? Business skills

    - ? Passion for the job

    I'd say he'd make a good President if we are going down the CEO runs the club in conjunction with the AFL and the board just provide basic oversight route. If we want a more engaged board we should focus on someone at least willing to run for President without being coaxed.

    Stevo trying to blow his way to footy journo heaven.

    Good for the board, but not sure he is president material unfortunately, pretty sure bartlett is our man.

    Better option than Stockdale imo. His contact list would be huge. Journo's know everyone.

    At least on the board. With Roos on the couch would be a club in house show!!!

    We are talking about a man with no presence whatsoever. I do not understand what the benefit would be. Who cares about media contacts!

    Um youve been around Melbourne and footy in the last 30 odd years.. Alf Brown aside

    Are you serious?

    Yes WYL. Perhaps I'm missing something here but we are talking about the bloke who always looked a little confused aren't we?

    The media either ignores a club or stitches it up. This would happen whether Sheehan was President or otherwise. If the selling point is media contacts we are in a heap of trouble.

    Yep we are in total agreement RtG.

    And I would have thought 'respected footy journalist' is somewhat of an oxymoron.

    he was the chief football writer for years. I was not his greatest fan most of the time concerning his writing, but his standing in the industry is what it is.

    We need exposure on many levels RTG.

    Mike as Prez or on the board is worth consideration. These journo's lived and breathed footy 24/7 for about 8 months of the year.

    Old Dee, I knew that was coming. We can do better. You know it and I know it.

    Maybe on the board. But surely not President.

    For all those harping on about 'Business Minds' you'd be well served to have a look at the vast majority of our board over the last 10 years.

    The feeling around town has been that most business people check their business brains at the door when they serve on a footy club board. If football has been your business, then maybe you'd be well served running a football business?

    It's not exactly a radical thought.

    i agree, i remember Eddie as a Ch10 journalist in the late 80's.

    now i would never have imagined him as a successful Collingwood Prez.

    Mike as a retiring journalist might be an asset as a Board Member.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
