I know Brian quite well. I think he and his wife Claire are keen to travel. They've only been able to have brief stints OS the past few years. He's also keen to spend more time with family. He has a soft spot for the Dees as he started his senior football with our U19's. IMO he be a great get for a board position or similar. He would similarly have been ideal for a position on the review panel had he been available. Both Brian and his mentor, the late Frank Costa, resurrected the GFC leading to their 2007 flag. As a football administrator he has no peer.

Get in his ear

Given that he's got a year to run at the Blues now is not the time. May ask about his future intentions but I doubt he'll know. Pretty sure he was hesitant to commit to three years with the Blues. Right now is the busiest time of the year for the likes (life) of Brian.

No to Graham Wright

 We have seldom  won with pies cast offs. 

Petty helped get us a Drought breaking premiership/s AFL VFL and AFLW. 

You can be as negative as normal OD but you can’t disprove that Perty didn’t help us win our 3 Flags. !!! 
End of story!!

I am perplexed. What has Petty got to do with this thread. We did not get him from Collingwood. Yes he played well as a back man. He is not a forward that will get us a flag IMO.

Just cherry-pcking = confirmation bias.

Why not compare to say St Kilda or North. Look at who Freo have lost over the last few years. etc. etc. 

Not only are your posts tirelessly repetitive, they're superficial.

If you think our player trading in the last 3 years has been ok then good luck to you.

I think it's been dreadful & taken us backwards & heads should roll.

And measuring us against North & Freo is a road to nowhere.

You and OD should meet and see who is the most  negative. 
Get a glass out and see if you can get anywhere near quarter full.

And you can lead the conga line of cheer squad of apologists as the Club's leaders destroy what should have been a golden era but is turning into a train wreck.

Instead of 2 or 3 flags we are the AFL's laughing stock.

Well done.

Very good get for Carlton. I’m annoyed we didn’t throw our hat in the ring as replacement for Pert.

What does a recruiter and list manager know about being a CEO and running a million dollar business???

If Melb sacked Pert and appointed Tim Lamb would it be a good or bad appointment.

He was appointed as interim CEO of Collingwood at the end of 2022 so he's already had exposure to the role.

    The key defender has the height and has showed out from time to time with his pace in defence but has progressed slowly in his two seasons at the club. Will need to improve in 2025. Date of Birth: 14 May 2004 Height: 196cm Games CDFC 2024: 17 Goals CDFC 2024:  0

    Like most big men, Verrall is taking time to develop as a ruckman but has shown some encouraging signs. Finished ninth in the Casey Demons best & fairest this year. Date of Birth: 11 March 2004 Height: 199cm Games CDFC 2024: 17 Goals CDFC 2024: 6

    2024 Player Reviews: #50 Ben Brown

    Coming to Melbourne after seven years as a leading goal kicker at North Melbourne, Brown was well known for his unique, extremely long run up on set shots for goal. After some early setbacks injury wise settled into the full forward position in time to play a big role in the 2021 premiership win with three goals. Unfortunately, the remainder of his time at the club was hampered by injury including the need to undergo knee surgery. He retired from playing football at the end of the season after 4

    2024 Player Reviews: #41 Kynan Brown

    Brown, the son of former Demon hard nut Nathan Brown, made a couple of cameo appearances as a substitute which included a brilliant run down tackle which may have saved the game against the Kangaroos. Had some outstanding games at VFL level and finished equal sixth in the best & fairest at Casey.

    AWESOME FOURSOME by Meggs

    The rejuvenated Demons out tussled the Tigers by 13 points to make it four wins on the trot on Saturday which means that the slight possibility of a finals appearance remains alive in 2024. This is despite the AFLW handicapping the Demons against their peers yet again (more later). Lots to celebrate as it was Kids Day at Casey Fields and both teams ran onto the ground modelling their Pride jumpers.   Kate Hore won the toss and kicked to the Clyde end. Thankfully, the notorious Casey

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind.

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 03

    Part 3: Happier Days by Whispering Jack It would be fair to say that when the Melbourne Football Club entered the free agency and trade period earlier this month, its reputation was flagging, if not in tatters. The club was taking a battering in the media and social media over a number of issues, some real and others imaginary and even fabricated, relating to the running of the club, team performance and its culture, a build up that’s been taking place for more than twelve months.

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g
