Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Just on SEN - Stephen Trigg available and discussing he'd be a good fit for Dees perhaps.

For goodness me, a twice failed CEO? A good fit? Simply wont happen.

it seems there is a fair bit of mates pumping up mates happening here.

Lucky KB still hates CS for sacking him.

We would have to listen to him flogging him on SEN as a great CEO if they were mates.

Huh?

While there are MCC reps on the board, where have any of the current board displayed any of the qualities that you have listed above? In fact, who exactly on the board do you take issue with? Glenn Bartlett (an old school tie MCC type if I ever saw one)?

Now I am convinced this is dee-luded. Just need a few multi colored letters and different text types, more bizarre non sequiturs (though your Don Pyke thread was a pretty true to form), references to the Northern stand and the social club and the gig will be up.

This current running of this club is the best I have witnessed since the early 70's. 

And I assume the board is doing this as well ?

 

CBF, you always lower yourself to play the man, when you have a weak argument, but still try to argue the point. just because you think your protecting the club. 

But we have to look at our failures, to grow from them.

 

This board has been under heavy scrutiny from the AFL, who have cast a strong eye over our board appointees, since they sent us PJ and Roosy.

And so they should have, because of the hopeless work done by our boards/admins over the past 50 years.

I am of the strong opinion that the issue with our past weak boards is the Mcc influence, and therefore the reluctance to change from that.

The club needs to change from where and what it has been.  It is not solely the lack of success that's been our problem.

It has all stemmed from the decisions made;,, from hiring of personnel;,,  to decisions made that effect the supporters and how they feel about our club.
 

We have been an absolute basket case of a club for 50+ years. 

Our support base has been weakened in that time, when other teams have gone from strength to strength, as clubs.

 

We cannot claim we are a power club now, as we have recently added a number of members who are climbing on, since we have got the excitement back.

 

The time to judge the strength of a club and its support base is when it's struggling.

OK. I'll bite. 

Again I ask, who on the board is suspect? You speak in broad generalizations but never put anything up to back up what you are saying except tales of the 50's when Norm Smith supposedly murdered people with a cattle stun gun, Anton Chigurh style, for being unable to kick both feet.

The only time I have heard league HQ ever express doubts about our board is when Alan Stockdale and Jeff Kennett were thinking of running for the board. And even that was second hand from PJ on 'On the Couch' all the way back in 2013. Where and when have they 'put serious scrutiny on our current board'? The board as far as I'm concerned has done it's job in actual oversight of the club while setting broader organizational direction e.g. Moving out of the gaming industry.

Secondly, they never 'sent' us Paul Roos. PJ headhunted Roos and was on the record as saying if he couldn't convince him then he would pursue either Rocket Eade or Mark Williams. If he was sent as you claim, those two would never have been in consideration.

For all your confidence in Gill and Co., he is now one step away from being forced to testify in a civil case into his conduct during the supplements saga (which the AFL made an absolute pigs ear of). He is the same Gill who put forth the most pizz weak condemnation of what was happening to Adam Goodes for fear of upsetting undefined stakeholders. The same bloke who lead an organization so arrogant that is was willing to tell Victoria Police that it would handle Dusty Martin and Chopstickgate. To me that smacks of an organization that values expediency and PR over actual corporate integrity.

Oh, he was also in charge when his mate Simon, as well as others, were busy with young female staff members. If those are the type of people who will be under consideration then forget it.

Your concept of football is bound to a bygone age that no longer exists. You can continue to live in a past that has little relevance to now or see things as they actually are.

Probably out of our price range but James Sutherland's done a better job than his current reputation reflects as the CEO of cricket Aus. Launched the Big Bash, made some big money with a TV deal, done the rounds with the players on a pay deal. Worth a phone call at least to see if he wants to move his office just down the street. The more competition the better.

I don't share your enthusiasm for James Sutherland. In my view under his watch cricket has gone backwards overall. I accept that there has been great progress in women's cricket and the Big Bash, but cricket is no longer the dominant summer pastime like it used to be.

Cricket does not now get the TV coverage that it once received.

I can remember seeing regular reports and even live coverage of Sheffield Shield matches. This doesn't happen now.

How many of us could name the best players in each State team, or which ones are pushing for national selection?

And when less cricket is shown live on TV interest in the game will dwindle considerably.

Recent on field bloopers and general boorish sledging do little to enhance the once popular sport.

Hmmmm!!! 

This from Chip Le Grand in The Australian today.

When he took over Cricket Australia in 2001, its total revenue was about $50 million a year. That figure is now about $500m a year

According to Cricket Australia records, 436,000 people played cricket in some form in the 2000-01 financial year. Total participation in cricket now stands at 1,429,523 — about one in every 20 Australians.

The important number for ­Sutherland is 135,223. This is the number of primary school-aged girls and boys who play the game. Nearly 36,000 of them are ­enrolled in Milo Cricket and 20,567 play T20 Blast. Neither ­program existed in 2001. A further 79,000 play junior club cricket.

Also record attendances at Tests last summer.

 AGAIN I say, this board/admin is doing the best job that I can recall in my lifetime.  note that means there is no issue with this current administration that I'm aware of.

 

AGAIN i iterate, that I have NO Trust with Mfc choosing board members in the future, as we lose the controls of the AFL.

I think we can assume that PJ ending is timed, as we move towards possible late September action, to not have the perception of AFL interference if we happen to win a Silver Cup.

And that also the job he was sent to us to do, is nearly done.

 

PJ did not headhunt Roos.  Roosy was chosen for us at the same time as PJ.  Some 'tidying up work' needed doing around the club before Roosy would commit.  Roosy had to make his mind up, but had done well prior to his announcement. almost a year earlier.

You really have to stop reading the papers and believing the Media PR spin, CBF.

 

CBF, you love to play word games, trying to swing perception Via deception.  I don't have confidence in Gillon at all.

What I have is confidence in the AFL mechanisms. And footy nous, more-so than their running of the games rules, etc.

 

Than you bring up your own moralistic biases,,,, which have absolutely NOTHING to do with what I referring to, regarding our past boards, and how we have gone about electing board members, over the past 5 decades.

 

What your saying, is plain rubbish.

Those figures do support an argument that Sutherland has done a good job. But I'm not sure I can believe the figures. Participation of over 1.4 million (which is actually one in 17, not one in 20) seems very unlikely to me.

Summer pastimes are the summer pastimes that they used to be! Most people get 2 weeks holiday max. Most people have no interest standing in the sun every Saturday for 8 hours a day.

There's way more international cricket and far more sporting choice now. No one is watching or covering the Sheffield Shield for a reason, but you'll still get passionate debate about selection on social media and forums before a test series.

The recent broadcast deal does put a bigger percentage of cricket on foxtel but there's still heaps on free to air on 7. 

I think Sutherland overstayed his welcome and probably like the players in South Africa there was a lack of leadership and some burnout from some difficult negotiations - both with the TV deals and with players. 

But it's a suggestion of a name who has worked in high level sporting admin. Josh Mahoney has managed Melbourne's footy admin which is probably about 40 million in revenue to work with. As mentioned above Sutherland is dealing with 500 million revenue! 

Sporting admin is a very shallow pool of talent, but other business administrators in sport often fail to grasp the important factors in running a football club. It's not an easy appointment to make.

No, I'd really should take the word of the bloke whose posts need heavy peyote use to get close to deciphering.

Why you posted those two articles (from the news media if the irony isn't lost on anyone) is beyond me as neither indicated that Roos was an AFL appointment. They just stated the terms of each's employment.

If you really would like to know how Roos was appointed, read 'Here It Is'. While Roos wondered if the Swans low balling him came about because of pressure from head office, he clearly recounts that during the closing stages of 2013, PJ and the players had to convince him before he signed on. There was no clandestine deal to get him on board in 2012 (if you are to be believed).

Your post started off as some kind of endorsement of HQ (as you wrongly have asserted that Roos was an AFL appointment) which veered off into some kind of bizarre rant against the MCC. I'm afraid to ask but when you say that 'the MFC can't choose it's board', what do you mean? That members aren't allowed to vote in board elections?

You come on here, talk absolute piffle mixed in with assertions that have no observable evidence behind them and expect people to take you on face value. If you want to come on here to do that and expect people just to nod their head and agree with you, you might want to go elsewhere.

What was that Talking Heads song you were mentioning again @beelzebub

How about James Sutherland?

He mentioned Melbourne in a positive context (not about CEO role - longstanding fan loyalty without success) in his interview with Gerard Whateley this morning.

Perhaps he would like to be the one to oversee that eventual success, without the constant travel?

I like Mahoney, but managing a football department is light years away from CEO of a multi-million dollar club. Has there been any precedents of footy department heads being elevated directly to CEO? There may very well be, but I don’t know.

My money is on Mahoney.

I wonder how much insight PJ has given to him on the business side of the club? If PJ did expose him to that and he took to that well then it may give him a leg up.

I suspect he's used to being a big fish by comparison to a footy club CEO which really doesn't carry much power given the role of the AFL. If not for the ball tampering he would probably walk into a role on the AFL Commission or the executive if he wanted to.

The ball tampering has brought a dark cloud over his administration of the great game of cricket.

I'm sure he'll pick up something in any event.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
