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

 

Yes I have, and I will tell you something the president doesn't implement anything until the board approves and a president doesn't take all the credit for anything, I was answering a post where it was implied that he has done it all simple as that try reading reading first.

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

Who knows we don't maybe it was like the pies where he was asked to do a poison pill sometimes you have to something that not best for you but in the name of progress.

that's your opinion and your entitled to it but he is still doing work for the club if there was anything untoward he still would not be doing work for the club.

Transitioning only. The Review wasn’t favourable towards Pert, that is information passed on to me…

Well I'm sorry but that's hearsay but I'm happy to listen if you can prove otherwise.

You still didn't answer my question.

I’ll reserve judgement on Brad however he is off to a good start. I know a number of connections to Brad and have heard mixed messages on his past dealings which have me still slightly skeptical. I hope he continues the way he has started.

I have told you what i know, from a very reliable source. Pert announced his resignation before the review was concluded 

A review he was part of…..

He's been open and upfront with the supporters with the happenings of the MFC. As supporters we want to feel included in the direction taken by the club and board. Can't fault him so far,  he's done a lot more for us in recent times than any other President. Keep it going Brad.

Who was president when we won a flag, thought that is more important than writing email every week and that will stop after everything has been implemented to appease the kiddies.

demon3165 No denying that both Kate Roffe and Gary Pert played a big role in our Premiership success, both backed and supported Simon Goodwin  in the lead up to ‘21 and it’s a shame how things have played out since but since Kate and now Gary have left, Brad has stood up to his role as President.

Not sure what Board experience you have but can you  re-write your response so its understandable.

Can I suggest punctuation. Its works great.  And stay away from preparing any meeting minutes and resolutions.

Thanks

Not saying he hasn't stood up but to say but to imply that he has done all these things on his own is ludicrous, that's all I said it was a board decision to do a review full stop.

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. 

He is uniting a Football club again, that's what he's doing, leading from the front and cutting out the BS.

That's what good leaders do, you don't need to have built a business or ran a multi million dollar company.

He's a born leader.

Doesn't he have a fire safety business. Anyhow, why do you need a board stuffed with CPAs and legal nuggets? What do they know about football clubs?

He is a managing director at his place of work, he was the obvious choice as stand in president as he was a former favorite player and supporters know him more than other board member, and yes he is doing well so far.

Good leaders know how to inspire, great leaders are also great facilitators they get the movers and shakers on board aligned with a clear vision of where they all want to go. Appears this is Brad Green’s moment.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
