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....?

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
