What makes him an overlord and what's with bringing in stockbrokers and insurance salespeople?

We need more lawyers on the board :lol:

I think Howcroft was very entertaining at AGMs for a while and then things stopped being funny.

Not often you are wrong WJ but on this occasion you are way off the mark.

Clearly there a need for more Accountants on the board.

After all the Pen is mightier then the sword!

Plus it may stop the Club giving out all its money to incompetent people as our lawyers seem to be unable to prevent.

Steve Morris is a very close family friend of mine, so naturally I'm ecstatic about his appointment. He's been involved with the club for years, and is just about as passionate as you can get. Might be a biased view, but he's a good acquisition - Very smart man.

Can't even get both his kids to support the club...

Just starve the kid, Steve! That'll learn him.

Yes, young Sammy is a St Kilda supporter unfortunately. Might be the best time to try and convert him!

Howcroft out, Morris in.

As always, we thank him for his service, and welcome our new overlord.

Forever, will they be tied to the critical mass of our shared failures.

Huzzah!

Good to see...

A bit more regeneration to go and I would like to see someone representing our younger and future members on the board with the next appointment. We need people who are right on top of new media and in touch with young peoples viewpoints. With an older membership base we really need a different perspective to help us move forward.

I'm reasonably young, rjay...

I think we just need to start winning to entice younger supporters.

That would be a start, but it would also be good to spread the age profile of the board.

I just think I'm young 'rpfc', my birth certificate keeps adding years on though...it must be lying or else I might, just might be deceiving myself.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
