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

over qualified - lol

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

Impressive CV to say the least.

Quote: "She has a strong interest in governance, and is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and regularly presents workshops and forums regarding good governance and strategic planning practices".

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.

Business isn't my forte' so I will take the money savvy D'land members word on this.

Seems good?

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!

Very well credentialed. other than that...have no idea

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).

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

But does she 'bleed red and blue'?

Impressive CV to say the least.

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.

wonder if she has an eye for desks ??

She certainly seems to have a great history.

Should have plenty to offer the MFC

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

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

If she has had experience at 'not-for-profits' she should fit right in at Melbourne

wonder if she has an eye for desks ??

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.

Related to Chelsea?

Very good selection. We look like we have a good, balanced board.
