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 ?

    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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
