Movement on this front though this could be all speculation.

Cricket boss firms as Demons replacement

Nicho is technically an outside appointment but he should know the club and what issues it confronts. I would prefer that we got someone internally as there is less likely to be an unnecessary change of course but Nicho isn't without football experience  obviously.

 

 

Interesting possibility !

I know someone who works closely with him at ACA.  Prefer others is all I’ll say.

We need to get with the times and appoint a female CEO regardless of credentials.

I think we could wind back the clock to the days of Captain/coaches ala Big Carl Ditterich and make Daisy Pearce Captain/CEO.

Actually whats Big Carl up to?

He could start by shirtfronting Gil, Eddie and Kennett.

Not sure how I feel about this... "Fairfax Media understands Alistair Nicholson has been sounded out by the Demons to replace outgoing chief executive Peter Jackson, who announced earlier this month he would be stepping down at the end of the year".

Bit of a homecoming, I guess.

He has the football player experience and the sporting management experience, albeit on the player side. 

Not dissimilar background to Gale at Richmond and Finnis at St Kilda who both went into CEO Club roles from player Associations. 

If he is the club's choice then I'm behind him.

This is what I've been thinking, since Jackson was mooted as possibly leaving some time in the future, back in 2016/17.

Jackson has been a big rap for Josh Mahoney; and josh has lasted many clean outs of our admins over the years, and comes out clean. He does a good job of things.

 

I would not be surprised to see Josh take the role, which would mean we are looking for him to mentor a footy dept head.

My feeling is that JM is the perfect No.2! The kinda stalwart senior NCO that gets things done, that provides the best advice and is relentless in their commitment. However, I’m not sure that JM has the cut-throat mindset that is required for someone who needs to not only lead, but fiercely compete against their peers in what is a massive multi-million dollar industry. 

Love the guy to death, but think the CEO should be ruthlessly calculated, fiercely competitive, innovative yet outwardly humble - JM (the loyal legend that he is) is not quite what we’ll need post a successful season.

I'd rather Josh stay in his current role managing the FD. Purely because if he were to become the CEO, then we'd also need to bring in a new football manager, creating 2 unknowns.

Mahoney has been fantastic as General Manager of Football, long may it continue. Then we'd only need to worry about finding a successful CEO.

I have nothing to base my judgement on other than PJ was always very appreciative of Mahoneys abilities, so i was just trying to guess who might get that position.

I don't know anything about CEO operations, to really base any idea from.

PJ's thoughts will do me.

Word is Mark Neeld is available and looking for a slight change in role.

Regarding the "reality bus" he aims to implement "elite" standards both on and off the football field. ;)

That's the mail. Apparently he's two subjects away from finishing his MBA and wants to transition into a FD Admin role...

Having thought a bit more about mfc courting Alistair Nicholson to replace PJ, I feel a bit underwhelmed.  

If he gets the CEO gig, I hope it doesn't ruffle too many feathers with possible internal candidates.

Also, a bit surprised that our moves have leaked to the media.  Very unlike mfc of the Jackson era.  Maybe it was from the cricket world which tends to leak like a sieve.

I hope he's a better administrator than he was a football player I wasn't  a fan

Jen Watt could emerge as possibility as well.. watch this space. very very highly rated within the Club and the AFL.

She moved to the MCC less than a year ago so that would ruffle some feathers if she came back.

I would suggest that the two roles could not be more different.  The CEO role needs to be awared to someone with a track record in that area.

Is she the most qualified for the job?

 now is not the time for egos

I believe her role at the MCC is to give it a thorough overhaul, which requires time. Not about ego.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
