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.

    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 media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    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

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
