    Isn't Roffey that female goal umpire? Any relation?

    That's Chelsea Roffey. I don't think there is any relation.

    Impressive CV to say the least.

    I may be dreaming, but is it possible that the Dees could end up being run like a top line business? No runs on the board yet but it looks promising.

    Amazing list of experience. Good mix of business, not-for-profits and sports. Liked this one:

    "Throughout her travels, she spent time with leading organisations, such as the New York Yankees, Washington Redskins, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Manchester United FC, Arsenal FC, LA Live and Madison Square Garden."

    Make her the successor to Roos!

    Outstanding CV, which seems perfectly fitted for assisting with the rebuild of the Melbourne Footy Club from the foundations up. Welcome Kate, you have just embarked on a journey which you will never forget (hopefully for all the right reasons).

    ps. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you take out life membership of Demonland. Without question, it's the most informed place in the world about every aspect of MFC operations. (lol). :rolleyes:

    Is this part of Jacksons desire to properly use the branding of "Melbourne"?

    But does she 'bleed red and blue'? :rolleyes:

    I suspect you are right Maldonboy and as usual we will have a lot better idea about this time in 2015.

    However I find it hard to believe that this board could be worse than the previous one that dragged us to this point over a six year period.

    I'm betting she IS related . It's hardly a common name like Smith or Nguyen .

    That all good and all but the real question is does she play in the mid field?

    Former CEO of VicSport. Refreshing to bring in someone with a direct sporting background of this nature.

    • 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.

    • 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.
