    It would be great to have a prez with such significant football experience. Also a pretty young guy which i think is a positive. Him and PJ might be a considerable force and i hope a force that is able to convince players to stay the course and the right coach to come on board. Critical appointment

    'New Melbourne president announcement imminent'

    EXCLUSIVE: Neil Mitchell believes Glen Bartlett will be announced as the Melbourne Football Club's new president.

    Bartlett is a leading lawyer and a champion of West Australian football both on and off the field.

    He is lifetime member of the East Perth Football Club and won the WAFL goalkicking award in 1990.

    Bartlett was also vice-captain and full-forward of the state team.

    He won the West Coast Eagles' best clubman award in his one and only season in the VFL in 1987, in which he played four games.

    Bartlett has also been president of the WAFL players association.

    He and his family moved to Melbourne from Perth in 2008.

    Neil Mitchell believes the announcement will be made as early as today.

    The Demons have been searching for a full-time president to replace Don McLardy, who quit earlier this year.

    I hope this is true but I hope he is moving into the job with no strings attached. If he is taking the job as part of some peace deal with Stockdale, there will be more shenanigans behind the scenes for years to come. If Stockers thinks he can cow the board into ceding to his agenda, prepare for a campaign of undermining leading up to EGM in which he and his gang of cronies walk in. It's what happened to Joe and I wouldn't put it past him or Ron Walker to do it again.

    I like this move a lot. As mentioned in above comments I really think him and PJ can be a strong force in the football community and the fact that he has actually played the game and has years of experience in the business sector will be really beneficial to the club.

    Ron Walker is dealing with health issues and we would be his last concern.

    Fair enough but my point remains the same. No deals with the MFC establishment should be done to make Glen Bartlett president. Just take RW's name out of the equation.

    Thank god. Now to fill the board, get a prize coach and establish some stability. What a mess.

    Sounds promising. All this has to be sorted soon if the old girl is going to retain players.

    I wonder what he did that made him the 'best clubman' in 1987. You'd think being their first season in the AFL awards such as that one would have been carefully considered and therefore, presumably, well deserved.

    Neil Mitchell usually gets this stuff right.

    I'm glad. I think Bartlett will be a good choice. Much better than Stockdale, I think.

    Supplied the half time oranges that were perfectly cut in to quarters.

    Hopefully this will cascade into announcements of other appointments

    It was reported in the media that Walker is battling cancer. You can put axe and the pins down.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
