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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
