    Cricket Australia is looking down the barrel at a Meth Coke level rebuild. They should have begun the process 12 months ago, but instead we had to have the Cheats Farewell tour. 
    We now have a huge problem

    One name not mentioned anywhere is Josh Blanksby who left MRC recently.
     

    He was mentioned when Richmond were hunting for a CEO.
     

    I don’t think he is right (no footy background and he seemingly was a big part of the botch-job of the Caulfield redevelopment) but I am surprised he hasn’t been floated due to his intimate knowledge of Caulfield/the Trust and our clear ambitions there.

     

    Another person with a similar history to Josh Blanksby is Andrew Giles, CEO of VicRoads. Before that he was CEO of Racing Victoria and before that CEO of Betfair (Josh Blanksby also worked for Betfair). I'm not sure what would be easier - mending potholes or player relationships.

    Giles Thompson.  Famous for letting V’landys walk all over racing Vic and near-ruin our Spring racing carnival.

    gerard healy offered up two names - justin rodski (current melbourne storm ceo, ex-peptides cmo) and greg swann (currently bears ceo, afl admin veteran) as two names

    he seemed more certain that rodski is talking to us, but flagged swann as someone we should be talking to, or that the afl might want to bring back in house as part of dil and laura's exec team

    several people i've spoken to today about rodski rate him enormously highly

    Interesting. I thought I had heard a while ago the Brisbane Bronco's were after Rodski, but he was staying in Melbourne.

    I think the Broncos were pursuing Frank Ponissi rather than Rodski

    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.

    Stevenson at a disadvantage as ceo of a privately held company, I suspect?

    I would imagine Simon would remain in Perth, his boy Sonny heading in to Yr 11 and settled in school. Be surprised if he moved

    Don't know much about him nor the NBL under Larry K to be honest…

    David’s a great guy and a mad Demons supporter. I went to school with him.

    David Stevenson was the CEO of the Bulldogs in their Premiership year in 2016. 
     

    Of those mentioned on the unofficial ‘shortlist’, those names are certainly well credentialed 👍🏼

    Charlie Gardiner would have to be under consideration for our CEO role no doubt. 
     

    Cut from the Sydney cloth as an administrator and we know how well they’re run.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
