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.

    Dermott was there for the fan vote, champion player but dumb as d s...

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
