He was their executive general manager of football from 2019 to this year. Moved back to Melbourne end of 23’ for family reasons. In the running for the Pies job as head of footy but wants to be a CEO ultimately. 

So less than 5 years as a footy GM at a club with a proven coach, proven list management team, proven culture before he got there, no other footy administration experience, no other business executive experience aside from a year in a job they created for him when he’s bailed back to Melbourne. Hired out of a law career by his good mate Tom Harley. 

I’d like to know a lot more about what he’s actually done at Sydney than being impressed purely because it’s on his resume. Unless he’s totally brilliant he can go be the Pies head of footy.

    DD I am not sure I care. I have no control and the powers will select someone I can only hope they make a good choice. I know it is a very important position but I am way more interested in who plays in 2025.

    I hope we haven't just started our search now.

    Also hope Peter Bell ends up at the Pies (or nowhere) and NOT Melbourne

    The reactions on this site if Peter Bell got the gig would be something to behold.

    That is just not funny. On any level!

    Jay Clarke tweeted that David Stevenson (NBL) and Simon Garlick are names in our CEO hunt (he didn’t give much more context.

    mentioned Swann likely to extend with Brisbane.

    I hear that Garlick is on the nose at Freo, we might need a breath of fresh air

    Paywall. But the excerpt reveals he is being consulted in the search and that he is not a candidate. Gemba-related is my guess. 

    Yeah, but odd choice for advice??

    I will cancel my membership and my wife has declared she'll burn her gear if Hird comes to the club.

    It's totally irrational for Melbourne supporters being concerned by Hird giving advice with regards to the search for a CEO.

    People seem to lose their mind when it comes to football clubs.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
