Just hope that Peter Jackson has no ambitions for the role of CEO.

the timings are all curious though ..

indeed.

even if not by design...certainly by happenstance

Early days, and running the AFL a big leap away from running a club. I suspect the AFL would be wise to find a CEO from outside the Club gene pool, so conflicts of interest (or perceptions of) are not possible.

Interest comment when I think CW asked him did he feel any guilt about the EFC drugs problem.

He said something to the effect of " no I did not inject anyone"

I thought that it was quite pointed.

Interesting timing on the announcement just prior to whats seems to be ASADA's move on the Bombers.

Reckon his final main leaving task will be to manage the impact of ASADA sanctions on the EFC and the competition this year, with the goal to have a new CEO with a clean compeition by the end of the year.

I hope you are right PaulRB

It will depend on charges against EFC players being laid or not.

If they are laid then the EFC will go to court IMO and that may take forever to resolve.

I just don't see the EFC rolling over if charges are laid.

rolling over.....no

pushed by a bigger Dozer...yep

My only gripe about the current admininstration is that their bonuses are tied to maximising crowds meaning the fixture's sole purpose is to favour the larger clubs.

Vlad will step down at years end according to Patrick Smith.

Pity he isn't stepping down immediately.

has brought a yiro van and cant get the licence until years end.

just in time for summer festival season.

he will go down in history as one of the best CEOs the game has had.

it might get real interesting for us smaller clubs if the replacement is not gil, given that he's essentially in charge of the next broadcast rights agreement and the early purchase of etihad to help ease equalisation measures into place.

Let's say that Jackson is a chance.

Is that not good for us in terms of his perspective at the Dees?

His equalisation beliefs I am sure have changed (from his time at Essendon) and will be far more favourable than a Nisbett or Cook...

Agree rpfc Would go with my best wishes.

However I do want him the Dees for the next three years.

Whenever DumbItriou utters the word "integrity" I have a great laugh.

Sure Andrew - the "draw" shows stacks of integrity, as did the tanking investigation, its outcome and its penalties despite nothing being proven. And how about the MRP, and the tribunal?

And I haven't even mentioned the current farce re Essendrug.

Certainly time for you to move on.

PJ would be unlikely.

I suspect partly due to the fact that he didn't leave the EFC on the best of terms, but perhaps more importantly, he hasn't done anything yet @ MFC that is measurable enough to be considered, other than what we who are close to the club can see. I am not talking about capability, as I think he is extremely capable. He hasn't even had 12 months in the job.

More importantly from the AFL perspective is that PJ is needed here by the MFC to make the club strong again.

Nisbett, Cook and Ireland have been doing this caper for the best part of 10 years, They are significantly stronger candidates as a result of that.

I am of the opinion PJ is starting to develop abit of a passion for the Dees, and one of the conditions of the AFL funding our rebuild was that he stuck around for it

If it wasn't for people like AD we would be lucky to be going to the footy this year, he cleaned up Schwabs and Dons mess people have short memory's , my family and I would like to thank AD for his support to the MFC in last few years and we are thankful for the season that's about to start, I wish him well for the future.

Funnily enough I think you are both right.

Cook understands well the struggles faced by smaller clubs and is in favour of equalisation measures.

And fwiw, some of the better informed minds believe that Gil won't get a look in for the top job.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
