Brad has never led a major business/organistion and may be wondering (or have wondered) "...what do I know about chairing a footy club - or anything else..?"

Rest assured Brad your'e doing just fine and are a credit to yourself and your  playing reputation.

Lucky to have him as one of us.

    Feels like Green is doing a good job allowing the club to focus on what’s important by putting to bed some outside noise. 👍👏

    Brad's achievements in a few short months.

    • Seamless and bloodless transition to lead the Board
    • Drove the FD and Board reviews (and will oversee their implementation)
    • Negotiated the departure of our CEO
    • Facilitated the arrival of Steve Smith (pending voting) and succession plan to be the next Board leader
    • Ended the off-field legal dramas taking the unwarranted heat of our coach and our club.

    In a few short months he has neutralised the topics creating negative media attention. 👏👏👏

     

    I will confess I was a bit 'meh' when he joined the Board and thought replacing Roffey was just window dressing.  I was very very wrong! 

    If he does nothing else he has been incredibly successful in laying the foundations for our stability, growth and success.

    Change management is one of the hardest things for any organisation to undertake and Brad hasn't put a foot wrong.

    What a load of rubbish, think you overestimated his super human abilities in these matters.

    So you don't think he was a big part of everything?

    Obviously he isn't doing it all on his own, but he's definitely been a driving force in getting these matters sorted.

    The previous administration couldn't/didn't get it done, and under his stewardship its done.  Not sure why the negativity.

    He did captain the MFC and lead a group of players - think that counts for something leadership wise and not many of the business/organisational type expert leaders that might stand for president could bring that to the table.

    While realising that it's still obviously pretty important he is able to lead the business/administration side, I would think that having a player/captains perspective is something that is pretty darn important to have when leading a footy club and probably exactly what we need right now to provide the sort of space to let the players get on with things and get us back on track on feild next year.  We start winning games consistently and convincingly next year and just watch all these off field issues evaporate in the eyes of the media.

    I can see that yet again the positive attitudes in Demonland are shining through.

    Because facts matter unless you don't think so.

    Pert is leaving of his own accord or is Green lying on that matter

    I very much doubt Pert would be leaving, at this point without the Review

    So you've never sat around a serious Board table or understand good governance?

    Some demonlanders drive me spare.

    Given the remaining Board is largely unchanged Brad can take credit as change agent for sure

    I'm still a bit sceptical with Green but I certainly acknowledged that I feel he has been really proactive and especially with his communication of late which I respect and something Roffey clearly lacked.

    As members, it's good to be informed every now and then on what's happening around the club.

    Well yes according to Green, but apparently he negotiated to keep him on as a consultant so there's that?

    Agree, great summary. 

    On top of that & under his watch;

    • Clayton and Christian are back in the fold and not saying/doing things to embarrass us
    • We obtained another top 10 pick in a strong draft 
    • He's communicated outstandingly well to the members, and; 
    • Called out non-sense, gutter reporting (eg. Clarrie cleaning out his locker), via his personal Twitter

    Green is all about the supporters.  He knows who are the backbone of the club and is communicating better than any President in recent times.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
