Swanns just stepped down at Carlton.

Hes denying links to the Lions job, funnily enough the same thing Roosy had to do half way through last year when Brisbane were going after him.

PJ likely to finish up at end of 2014 as our CEO.... will Swann take over?

Why would we need Swann when we have PJ?

Oh, you're under the misconception that PJ is leaving at the end of this season...

My understanding is that Jackson extended his contract til end '14. Maybe I am wrong.

Greg Swann would be a good get IMO IF Jackson stands down/finishes up. AFL would be good with that I would have thought.

I suggested in another thread the other day that PJ should stay on long term and I doubt he will go anywhere

Then a bunch of posters were quick to pounce on me and suggest that PJ is in his 60's and wont stay past the end of 2014 which is all he is committed to at this stage

So which one is it?

PJ is staying long term or hes finished at end of 2014 ?

Quite possibly neither at this stage.

I would have thought that if there is a suitable candidate, he will step down; if not he will stay on for a bit longer.

There is another possibility. He's not staying long term, but he's not finishing at the end of this year either. Two or three more years ought to do it.

I don't remember anyone saying he wouldn't stay past 2014, just that he won't be at MFC until 2020.

PJ's exit is an interesting one. You would think that they'd try to not have both Roos and PJ step down at the same time. If he stays on for 2015 then I'd like to think he'd stay on past Roos' tenure as Head Coach.

I have had a bit to do with the Carlton F club from a business point of view and the word on Swann isnt good. We dont want him near the MFC.

I get that feeling and whilst he seems to have done a good job to get the business on track, albeit with some pretty powerful benefactors he has had a little bit too much to do with the football side of things for my liking.

From what I saw of PJ the other night at the Club, he has unfinished business with us, reckon he is like Roos when he considers he has done what he was "hired" to do, he will look for a successor, it also helps that he gets nothing but positive feedback from the supporters

I'd like to think that PJ would stay to oversee the succession plan he suggested to entice ROOS.

If his assistant gets appointed at the end of the season, and Roos stays on until 2016. I can see Roos staying on as Football Director.

PJ would then stay on to ensure the New coach appointment is bedded down.

He is not the type to turn his back on something he has started but not completed.

With no insight at all - I also feel that PJ, when he decides to pull the plug, won't say - that's it - I'm off. I think (hope) like Roos - he will exit on his own timetable after ensuring we have someone in place to take over from him.

Pretty hard for him to land Roos by hard selling him on the idea of a succession plan and then not do the same himself ?

PJ needs to stay as his work is not yet done.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
