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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
