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.

    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

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
