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

We could get Jono Brown down

    Would be a bigl get.

    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
