I agree with the original post - it is really, really important that our CEO, as head of corporate decision-making, involve himself more in the football-specific decision-making at the club.

Because it has worked out so well in the recent past.

Sigh.

Point taken about PJ getting involved with footy dept, however the head of FD actually reports to PJ!

So if anyone here thinks PJ is not taking an interest in improving our dud list, you are all kidding yourselves. It might not be him directly , but he is the CEO and his eye will be firmly on getting members to sign up and attend games. It is all all interconnected

    So you are suggesting that Jackson says to Mahoney, "Josh, make sure we improve the list".

    You did kinda leave yourself open in calling for the CEO to improve the list.

    I'd offer a really good contract to Dangerfield or Boak to come home to Melbourne, talking 6 years, over a mil a year and offer pick4 and Toumpas as the trade, both free agents at the end of next year, if the club thinks they might leave they just might consider it, and the players are Victorian, an offer like that to come home is always worth looking at

    Boak? lol leave a club that's on the up, a club captain and just signed a 5 year deal.

    Not a chance in hel the guys bleeds power.

    No, but I have a mortgage on an opinion goose.

    I don't know what's worse; the repayments or the fact that he has to tell me what he thinks about EVERYTHING...

    Absolutely the CEO has a role. He is running the busness and that business is winning games of football. Where he differs from our last CEO is he will let the experts worry about the detail but he will definately but all over the big picture. His decisions will impact on whether we can afford to payout contracts, he will be the one to make any case for priority pick, he will have a say in what we can afford in terms of offers to any free agents and players wanting a trade. He will consider the impact of list decisions on the bottom line and ability to sell the club.

    Its not one or the other but the ability of a bunch of people to work together and make to right decisions for the club going forward.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
