Do a bit of googling with Caroline Wilson. He was strongly favoured by AFL HQ too. Just as Peter Jackson was back in the day.

Instead we got a guy with no footy background at all.

Guerra just has to land Caulfield to get a statue, that’s it.

    A CEO is basically the business manager and he has to be good at running the business.

    We have seen “fan boys” and “wanna be coaches” before and a good footy CEO doesn’t necessarily have to be an ex jock and if you have a good FD boss, who can run the FD well and report to the CEO, that may be a better result.

    Think Cameron Schwab and the whiteboard.

    I agree that a new home base is Priority No. 1 for the incoming CEO. Who makes the footy department decisions in the next few months? - in the decisive way that Peter Jackson did back in 2013. Will it be the Board, the acting CEO, Alan Richardson.....?

    The incoming CEO has a project to Finish, why should he leave a job half done, when it was the MFC who contacted him?

    We have a perfectly good interum CEO till September

    Not just a ‘government job’ friend, he is head of VECCI who are hosting the World Chambers Congress in September, hence why he can’t just step away and he’d be burning some big bridges if he did - the opposite of what you’d want someone in his position to be doing.

    Should be using the six months lining up some new sponsors of MFC via World Chambers Congress attendees!

    I put in a personal request to him re his priorities - fix the goalkicking!!!!

    What a fuss about nothing in this thread. I bet if the team was winning this thread wouldn't have even appeared.

    Wouldn't count on it.

    Demonland, where there's always something to [censored] about.

    The inability to google something before demanding answers and a pound of flesh is something of a clue.

    Cameron Schwabb was even more strongly favoured by the AFL. That ended up well!

    It is kind of funny how the old CEO was/is still part of the project and the new CEO hasn't started yet but is doing work on it as well

    I saw our incoming CEO at the footy today.

    Casual guy in his jeans, runners & Melbourne jacket.

    But some people recognised him because they stopped him for a chat which he was happy to do

    I think (hope) that we are not so incompetent that we can't pick a decent CEO and President.

    Just a waiting game.

    No, we have never been and never will be that incompetent.

    He's not MIA. He comes down to the front of N53 and sits with some people he knows for a quarter or two each home game.

    My god this thread is ridiculous. It’s ok that you don’t understand how transitioning from executive roles actually works, but for your own sake stop digging yourself further into this hole of stupidity you find yourself in

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
