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

We could get Jono Brown down

    Whispers are we're looking at Lt Col John Nagl.

    Would be a bigl get.

    Anyway, remember that you heard it here first.

    But Perty's leaving peaceably, isn't he?

    Was a bizarre appointment at the time and even more in hindsight

    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.

    Hawks have put it up for sale.

    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

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
