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

Tried out for Manchester United as a kid and also represented Tasmania in Junior cricket in case you didn’t hear the commentary every single time he lined up for goal.

I don't. I want the best people. Couldn't care less where they're from.

Bartlett has apparently asked Green to join the board as Football Director. Demons want Green on board

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?

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.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
