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

if Ponissi tries to move clarry on behind the back of the club, we have a ponzi scheme.

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…

Would rather Fox tbh.

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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.
