What about Paul McNamee? I think he would be good for the run second time around.

We could get Jono Brown down

    Anyway, remember that you heard it here first.

    We were a club searching for relevance. It made sense on some levels but when he came out and said he was heading to Wimbledon mid season and wanted to poach JBrown I laughed the dreaded Melbourne supporter laugh. The one you have when you know it’s funny but only if you didn’t barrack for Melbourne.

    Price tag around $20M

    Since the media made it a thing. I can't believe the one surviving grandstand there is actually a listed building.

    If the AFL have a plan to build 260 ovals around the country why would they spend $20m buying an oval that's already there as part of those plans?

    I might have missed something but who is currently the acting CEO?

    "Interim CEO David Chippindall will also be in the mix & has impressed in the role so far. "

    For once Tom Morris is correct. Paul Hallam founded the agency engaged - 6 Degrees.

    Serious outfit. Hallam won't need advice from Hird or any other second raters.

    And also is Ray Ellis available for another gig?

    Nothing wrong with the club taking its time as long as the acting CEO is doing a good enough job. And if the acting CEO is an applicant for the position the club is getting an opportunity to see how he performs in the role.

    it's not

    hawks are trying to [censored] it off - they've hit us up, they've hit the storm up, they got nowhere with victory as they had a bigger base ready to go...

    the lack of expansion opportunity for waverley precludes it from being a destination of choice for any mid-sized sporting organisation

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
