THE MELBOURNE Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of George de Crespigny to the role of Chief Commercial Officer.

Seems to be replacing Peter Maynard from the structure but maybe it is a change in the structure.

I guess we will find out - he was the General Manager of the Brumbies just below the CEO and that would be some of Matthew Green's responsibilities...

More changes to come I am sure.

If the Chief Commercial Officer a new position?

If not, who last filled this position?

I think its an elevation of a current role but more in sync with normal corporate structure... my we are going places arent we..lol

- Matthew Green – Chief Operations Officer

Is listed on the website of current head of finance/admin department. So I guess either the new guy comes in ahead of him or he's moved/been moved on.

de Crespigny could well be a successor to PJ long term if things go well. Resume looks pretty good.

Wasnt he that guy who piloted the qantas airbus after the engine blew up?

Good man to have on board if he has experiences in avoiding plane crashes, because we basically are one.

Maybe the bombers should have appointed him....

Get it - Plane crash, bombers....

Sorry couldn't help myself!!

We are a train wreck, I don't think a QANTAS pilot could help.

Well its normally incumbent upon the current role sitter to find their replacement. Quite common practice. Makes sense if such but also as part of our new "21st century best practice" business structure we would have a Chief Commercial Officer.

Slowly but surely we rebuild

I'm assured by a club insider that this is not the situation, but I hope this is not a case of "we need this guy, let's create a position for him". This practice has caused the club untold problems in the past.

If, however, it is the case of a considered re-structure and the club sought out the best person for the role, fair enough.

we need cash flow and sponsorship. It should not be the job of the CEO to do it all.

It is a clever move if he is the right choice.

Office next door to PJ....

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
