WOW!  Mahoney misses out on CEO job (to Pert) and now is demoted by Pert to a far lesser job to report to his previous underling (Richardson).  That would be brutal by Pert.  If that happens it smacks more of politics at the top than sensible organisation re-structure.

If the Richo reports to Green (or any individual board member) we have the reporting and accountability all wrong.  I would be very worried by Green's appt to the Board if his role becomes managerial. 

Wait and see what the actual info is I guess. 'Reporting to' can be different to 'managed by' though. It could just be that Green is the conduit between Mahoney and the board? Nothing's official yet anyways.

    Oh yeah, wasn't disagreeing or anything like that, more just saying that I've only heard bits and pieces so the details around it all might be different to what I've said.

    I just posted this in another thread but Mitch Cleary said something similar during an AFL Exchange podcast yesterday: Richardson getting a larger role including head of football and head of coaching sort of stuff, Mahoney getting a different role involving list management.

    It may well be that a decision has been made in the last day or two (explaining why it's now leaking out) and a formal announcement may be imminent?

    Ah cool. Didn’t see that post. 
    thanks for the info.

    any word on some of our uncontracted players who arent in the clear trade or delist bucket?  Specifically Hunt, bedford, Jordan, Neitschke, Chandler or M.Brown.?

    Obviously list sizes will play a part but given re-signings Im surprised Hunt hasnt been raised anywhere - either as trade or re-sign.

    Thank you DrEvil for the update which all sounds very Credible and mostly achievable.

    While I can respect Goody's knowledge of Brodie Smith haven't we got a defender ( albeit to mind opposition smalls and with run and carry) in Lockhart plus Riv on the other HB flank to Hibbo with Salo hopefully up forward flank way still available.

    A third Or fourth rounder Might get a good Draft prospect at say 50/55 or a Wantawsy  speedster from Somewhere or A Tom Phillips or even a Jarrad Polec with a combined 3 and 4 rounder!!

    Or am I being a bit nit picky not trusting Goody's  judgement ??

    And our Hawks 2nd rounder at 23 just got pushed out to 25 with FA compo. Possibly 26 if Jezza to Cats compo comes through. And that's before academy or f/s bid matching. It will be 30-35 in the blink of an eye. 

    If possible, I'd look to trade it in a  bigger package to move up into single digit number at draft time.

    Our 2020 2nd, Preuss, Tmac and future 2nd or 3rd for GWS pick 9?

    I'd be absolutely staggered if that's the case and Mahoney wasn't just removed totally. not doubting your intel but it sounds like if that were the case, Alan RIchardson would be the GM of footy, and Mahoney would be in a new undefined role. 

    Personally i don't mind it but i can't see Mahoney being kept on, if not in his current position.

    Yeah, the person who told me about it said they'd be pretty surprised if Mahoney didn't start looking around if the rumoured changes happen.

    My concern with Richo as head of footy is list management during his time at St Kilda was very ordinary from the outside looking in.

    He might he good at the rest of it, I've no real way of knowing.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he landed at the Bombers. i don't mind the Richo GM of footy idea. certainly got the experience.

    Not sure if Richo will be involved with the list management though. I think everything is being redefined a fair bit. Mahoney could still have a big hand in trades etc IMO. I think it's going to be more about managing the coaches, communication, effectiveness of the footy department. I'm guessing though.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
