Paul Guerra has been selected per Caroline Wilson.

Strong commerce background. Minimal footy.

 

Most known for going on the news and yapping relentlessly about people coming back to the CBD post Covid

Uninspiring

Why? The job is CEO, not footy boss. The last two CEO’s we’ve had that have had footy backgrounds (Schwab and Pert) have ended up leaving under clouds, despised by the playing group, as they meddled too much in the footy department.

“Alistair Nicholson presented very well, the former Melbourne player who now runs the Coaches’ Association, but my tip is that Paul Guerra will win the role, an Essendon man who will change his colours.”

I assume Guerra is a property guy or has bosses who rely on that income. The only people whinging about office returns are the people that make money from it.

My mate at CBRE has been banging on about it for years and even he only goes 2-3 days a week.

Interesting news if true.

Thanks DannyZ Paul Guera has a pretty good resume CEO Chamber of Commerce, Bachelor of Engineering (1986) and Bachelor of Management (1995) Swinburne, quoted as strong Strategist and strong people coaching skills, also mentioned on Board of MRC. Will watch this space with much interest.

Welcome aboard Jon Lovitz!

This is a good selection. The guy has the right credentials from a business perspective and given our most pressing issues are off field I’d expect him to get it done.

Coincidently I just watched the Hawks YouTube video on their new home base in Dingley and It is world class. We have to throw everything we can at Caulfield it will go a long way in attracting talent to our club in the years to come.


For all that people like to pick fault with Caro, she remains the best in the business with nailing off-field news.

How come the appointment is announced in the media first and not by the club to the members and supporters?

  1. The inherent need for references of the candidate opens the door to leaks.

  2. The AFL approved choice was overlooked and look at who first reported this story.

I went past it the other day and it's as much in the @rse end of nowhere as Casey Fields is. It's location might be OK for players located Bayside but if they plan on playing any VFL / AFWL games or allowing the public in for training days the nearest public transport is miles away.

It’s a training facility first and will be a very good one. Having public transport access is not a priority even if vfl and aflw games are played there.

Caulfield gives us everything we need but will be in the middle of a racetrack.

I wonder if there’s any link between the Beer Awards they have at the Showgrounds (he was CEO of the Show) and David Neitz?

I didn’t love all his media appearances but he at least does get on the front foot and has media connections.

RV board provides sports and how to deal with racing knowledge. Even if RV haven’t been going great to put it mildly.

Anyway, we’ll see. He has to grow our revenue, build Caulfield and oversee some big footy decisions. Tough gig

I mean he's the CEO of the Chamber of COMMERCE.

Of course he's going to campaign to get people back into the Melbourne Central BUSINESS District.

And given recent revelations, his "yapping" about lockdowns are somewhat vindicated. They were completely overblown and unnecessary.

So the AFL approved candidate was Keith Thomas? 🤦

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
