The obsession with Peter Lawrence is getting ridiculous.

No obsession with Peter Lawrence, never met him, never spoken to him, wouldn't know him if I ran into him...

...but how did we get to this spot.

I'm concerned we don't have a President, CEO and probably coach...let alone still no home base.

Surely the board is responsible for this.

As members a lot were bought the story they sold and here we are.

Decisions need to be made that have long term ramifications but no one in current caretaker positions should be making them.

How do we move forward.

steven smith needs to get to grips with the situation pronto (i'm sure he is behind the scenes)

caretaker coach to try and lift the veil of despondency that has settled on the playing group

make sure new CEO is in situ july / august so he/she can get a sense of the place, maybe even run a proper external review this time.

getting ready for the trade and draft period is the challenge. not sure we can get everyone in and aligned before then

Cmon, the home base problem has been dragging on since 1965, when we were forced to share our home ground with Richmond (thanks to Ray Dunn and the MCC).

Multiple boards over the past 60 years have compounded the problem but the current board is now in a pretty good position to finally solve it with the Caulfield plan

It has been a long running issue...and this board has probably been the closest to getting a result.

It's still not done and then there is the funding which is only getting harder.

Tthey have dropped the ball around club performance.

Things have been allowed to fester.

Another flag out of this group should have been expected but we're a mile off now and the window is closed.

Getting a quality CEO shouldn't have dragged on this long.

External issues have been poorly handled...eye off the ball.

We have an interim President, acting CEO, effectively a caretaker coach & FD boss, still no home base & other issues not in the least our on-field performance.

The writing has been on the wall for a while now, maybe even just before the flag.

Those who voted for the status quo have a bit of thinking to do...

Big decisions need to be made but we don't have a management team in place to make them..

A well run club doesn't end up in this position.

Thanks...

I didn't vote for the status quo, so at the very least this isn't my fault. It could have been worse if my people got in though. Most in the shadow cabinet never are willing to say that.

The Board failed to have a proper succession plan, failed to oversee the executive & the Football Dpt & wasted a lot of time & $$ fighting off reasonable requests by Peter Lawrence.

They were in charge & bear a large portion of responsibility for our current situation.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
