Unless he becomes our CEO, then whatever role we could offer him would be a step down. He's highly regarded as a sports administrator and leader, but not sure we'll see him back at the club.

Interesting timing though and he was considered heavily for a role at the club in the past few years.

    Will be interesting to see what comes of the revenue sharing model.

    If 7 are successful at pulling out of the broadcast agreement then the players could lose a huge chunk of shared revenue if they are guaranteed a percentage not a set amount.

    My guess is big Nicho heads to the safer waters of steady business rather than sport 

    All the players want  a percentage of the revenue, now that the revenue is going down big time I bet they want to change that. The AFL must be spewing, Paul marsh would want to change the model again. Greed always stuff U in the end.

    Maybe he just wants a quieter life... like the CEO who becomes a plumber.

    Actually, I've never met a former CEO who has become a plumber...has anyone??

    The problem with the revenue model in addition to what you have mentioned is how you measure revenue.

    Does it include sponsorships for example where the power clubs would be receiving 2-3 times the revenue of a lesser club.Does it include Hawthorn's poker machine revenue etc etc

    Having had to draft many agreements relating to revenue/profit sharing it's not easy. Once did a revenue sharing model for a takeover of some finance whiz kids' business. Looked fair but they came in doubled the staff upped the revenue by  around 50% but also of course doubled the expenses and eliminated the profit . Learnt a lesson from that one.

    NFL teams do sneaky things like change the ownership of parking and food and beverages at the stadiums to different companies. 

    It’s useful to set a benchmark but big Nicho would have to be clever to make sure he put protections in. Not easy to do given the mess cricket fine themselves in.

    • 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.

    • 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.
