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, thatโ€™s it.

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

We have seen โ€œfan boysโ€ and โ€œwanna be coachesโ€ before and a good footy CEO doesnโ€™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.....?

How do you know what business acumen I have? Some full on tossers here who keep barking the same condescending tripe.

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 โ€˜government jobโ€™ friend, he is head of VECCI who are hosting the World Chambers Congress in September, hence why he canโ€™t just step away and heโ€™d be burning some big bridges if he did - the opposite of what youโ€™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. Itโ€™s ok that you donโ€™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

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
