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 ?

I have such a man crush on PJ.

The guy is a God amounst Gods.

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

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
