Not suggesting she join the Board.  You forgot the twins possibly also.

Her husband can give her a dig out with the twins i'm sure

We need people who know how to get the best out of this club. Is he that person? I think Yze is our next coach 

I hope not...and nothing personal against Adem but if he is it will mean that Goody has failed.

...and I couldn't stand going through another rebuild with a novice coach because that's what it will mean.

 

I'm another that has followed him on Twitter and as others have said he doesn't come across as the most analytical of minds. Bit whiney, bit black and white for my liking.

Obviously has football credentials, but I want a bit more from potential board members...

 

Got the [censored] from 2 clubs as an assistant coach and doesn't come across well articulated on Twitter as well. In fact, he's said some things that makes you shake your head.

Good player Greeny, but putting him on the board level just because he is 'red and blue' would be a mistake imo.

Get the right and best experienced people around that will take this club forward, not backwards.

Only position I'd ever offer him is a goal kicking coach. That's it.

Not sure how I feel about this to be honest..

I am with you.  Our club needs a Graeme Richmond ruthless type.  Anyone out there that fits has that quality.  We have been a nice club for too long!

The Hawks at one stage had Brereton and Dunstall on their board.

Dunstall on the other hand was and is a very smart operator. Dermott talks the game, Dunstall understands it.

It's a Dunstall type we need on the board.

Who is it?

I don't.

I want the best people.

Couldn't care less where they're from.

Sometimes the best people are those who have a vested interest in the club, or those who can offer an alternate view. I never voted in board elections because I wouldn't know any of them from a bar of soap. I'm sure they're all very successful in their own professions but it doesn't hurt to have a footy person on the board as well even if they may not make it onto a corporate board.

I think that this decision reflects a lot of Demonland opinion that we want to see more Melbourne people Involved in the running of our club. Come on Greeny get on board, you are a great choice.!!!!!

He is a great choice  to become a board  member and one of my favourites when playing.  Hope he has the time to fill that position. He was an underrated footballer and IMO was hard done by when the captaincy was taken off him after one year and then Neeld sent him to an early retirement.. What a shambles. Neeld set us back a few years. 

Anyone know of his credentials to be on the board?

hope we are not going for the old boys club vibe


I just want the very best people for the job. 
PJ showed us that. Sentiment is not important in a Board Room 

I have met Brad a couple of times, lovely guy but he didn’t come across as a shrewd businessman so i wonder whether this is a clever decision

Yeah, he's about a 6 or 7 on the Andrew Bogut scale.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
