History lesson - For those too young to remember, Joe stepped in and helped steer the club away from an Ian Ridley and Hassa Mann led attempt to merge the club with Hawthorn. A vote that was rigged in favour of merging by a high level of corporate votes from sponsors etc. And those members who voted yes must still be feeling a little guilty. 

[censored], It is clear that our previous presidents prioritise their egos over the club's best interests. Who leaked this chat to the HS? Green or Gutnick? I hope it was not Green. If it was, I would not want him anywhere near the board, let alone the presidency.

History Lesson - Gutnick was willing to switch allegiance and back the merger if the players agreed, according to a later statement made by Ridley.

This is true. Everyone can laugh at him now but he did save the club. He also got Neil Balme sacked as coach and replaced by Neale Daniher, with immediate excellent results.

History Lesson: I think I would trust Ridley's word over Gutnick's anyday. And by the way, I was an anti-merger.

How many times has it been said that he’s pretty much in a caretaker role? He won’t be permanent. Jee whiz

Don't get me wrong - whilst I supported at the time and always will support, Joe coming in in '96, I don't want Joe anywhere near the club these days and disagree with every one of his statements he made as a result of his lunch with Green. (except maybe the Goodwin one (although I'm not jewish))

Separation of church/synagogue/mosque and football club, thanks very much.

so joe invites greeny to lunch, does all the talking, then rings up robbo to tell him what he told greeny

greeny should be more careful who he has lunch with.  first lesson for new pres.

Yup, hopefully Green does see this for what it is.  We already have problems with stuff leaking to the press, dont need advise from another snake.

The person who I believe should move on is Gutnick himself - I once supported the bloke but that was 20 years ago. Today, he has zero credibility when it comes to football.

Bizarre that Brad Green would even reach out to Joe or even take the time to sit down and seek advice..

Laughable.

Seriously, I had my doubts about Green having the nous for this position, even in a temporary capacity. This certainly doesn’t settle my nerves.

Gee there's a reason to be concerned that the old boys' club has finally won its way back into influence over the last month. Why is Brad Green meeting with Joe [censored] Gutnik? Is he gonna sit down with each of us amd get our opinions?

Joe has a very interesting history. I wouldn't be taking any advice from him on football matters.

What next ?  Getting Cam Schwab back as an advisor !!

I’m an atheist and all of my atheistic, agnostic, and believer friends, think that Joe has lost the plot.

That irritated me so much I wanted to go on a long rant but the collective effort here is superb.

Joe Gutnik is not a man we want pulling any strings or holding any proxy influence around the club. He used to be 'just a bit' bonkers and his extreme vanity served the club well in a crucial moment, but these days he is absolutely a noxious menace.

I was certainly pro-Joe back in 96 when he and Brian Dixon stopped the merger which would have killed any interest I had in footy altogether. 

 

But now....no....I am not sure how the paper would even publish such a nothing article must be desperate for more "Melbourne in turmoil" content

Edited by sisso


Back on the topic I agree with Joe on one thing... Goodwin needs to go!

what's next? greeny has a lunch with jeff kennet for advice, duly reported by robbo.

at this rate we won't need the planned reviews 😂

Why would anyone listen to Joe? He fired Neil Balme who went on to have a brilliant career overseeing multiple flags for multiple clubs (not as coach tho). Joe went on as thoroughly discredited businessman. He knows nothing about football. It is bewildering that Brad Green agreed to meet with him.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
