Glad I'm not the only one thinking this way.

The last one was Byrnes, and somehow during his time with us the Cats came across the intel about us taking Max Holmes so they sneaked in front of us to steal him. Then he heads back to Geelong and they win the flag.

I wouldn't be giving them any more opportunity to pick up IP from us.

I’m thinking the same way BBB, loved him as a player (thorough bred) I’ve watched him a lot since retirement a bit smug Geelongish, however maybe a good administrator or front man.

ps( I don’t think that it was coincidental that Byrnes, Daisy and our former VFL coach all left for Geeelong and they win the next flag.)

    I'd love JB at the club.  He was pretty strong on "footy furnace" on Pert tonight.

    I'd be surprised if he wanted to work at the same club as Pert.

    What did he say? 

    I presume the FD wants him, not necessarily the admin.

    I would be all for Jimmy taking the CEO role at the MFC.

    If what I hear is correct about Pert controlling the Caufield deal then he ain't going anytime soon.

    As soon as this deal has been made and started he can then be fkd off from the footy club.

    If what you claim is correct, and Pert lands the Caulfield deal, he will be CEO for as long as he wishes!

    Nothing in Bartel’s background says he is ready for a CEO job. Having not had a full time job in footy he wouldn’t even be ready for a head of football job. His role should be coming in under Richo and giving more of a strategy, culture, leadership angle to our FD and letting Richo focus on mentoring coaches which is a strength of his.

    That might well be right on Pert, but finding a quality high level business exec with experience in sports and ideally footy would be the aim.

    Premiership experience, sustained success, Geelong IP, midfield expertise, leadership, integrity, how to play wet weather football.

    To name a few.

    Well he's just stepped down as footy director of GWS where since 2018 he was key in the club's list management and coaching decisions as well as their restructuring of the football department. He was a member of the panel that appointed Adam Kingsley as head coach.

    You only need to look at GWS' recruiting, record and how they operate to know he's made a positive impact. He's also one of the most respected football media heads as well with his balanced, informed view points. Highly respected across the AFL with many useful connections and relationships across the league.

    If he's up for a new challenge then come aboard Jimmy!

    I don't know if he is or isn't, might be a natural, might have been doing a business degree on the side etc.

    He definitely has mixed in the right circles and has a balanced view on footballing analytics and communications.

    Fresh out of the game, fresh ideas, fresh networking lines, I reckon it would be a no brainer if the stars align.

    I’d rather him be our GM of Football and take over from Richo.

    If he did become GM, at least he wouldn’t be a ‘yes’ man and hold Pert to some sort of account.

    He’d also not let Pert get away with sticking his nose in places that aren’t of his concern.

    Could possibly be the reason he does or doesn't join us, depending on what happens with Pert 🙄

    He hasn’t sounded too impressed with Pert in some recent comments 

    But who knows, maybe he’d be up for the challenge? 

  • Quote

    Doesn't he either take Richardson's role or work alongside/just under him?

    Maybe with his work in the media he could bring some positive ways to sell the club's message, whatever the [censored] that means. We all know our clubs communication and ability to contain the narrative is amateurish at best.

    What are his credentials? Great player who has spent his time in the media since retirement.

    My question to that is, what are his qualifications?  Pert has had many years of experience in corporate management following his degree that he was able to complete during a time when footballers were not full time professionals as they are now.  Apart from volunteering on community issues, what's Bartel's experience in running a multi million dollar organisation?

    Bartel has told Pies no thanks

    Fingers crossed he comes to the Demons! 🤞

    It would definitely be quite an exciting challenge for him.

    Can he work with CEO Gary Pert?

     

    Anyway, we shall wait and see....?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
