Do you think PG has deliberately stayed out of being in the position till October?

I can’t answer that. All i know is i have been told PG is involved with the Board now

Definitely some changes but burning the club to the ground is not the answer. That would take 5 years to recover from.

Unlike Carlton we dont have a clubhouse to burn down

Bring in more diversity. Where's our Rainbow flag btw, cheersquad? Indigenous flag too?Love that Goodwin says we want to be a destination club for more indigenous players. More

Another diversity obsessive - sounds like an ex MFC Pres - and didn't that end well.

Here's a tip - most people care about competence not diversity.

In fact I've seen a number of totally incompetent people who were appointed due to their diversity credentials screw things up.

It really is a write off season now. No big calls will be made with an acting pres, CEO that starts later this year and a coach that probably won't know his future until the above get sorted.

Put yourself in carbonite and set the timer to unfreeze in 6 months.

brad green LOATHES being called 'acting president'

he is THE president

And therein lies a problem.

If there was no one in the wings just biding time he ( BD) might have some currency in his belief.

Whether he likes it or not, he is the interim President. And he acts like it

Walks like , sounds like.....

Couldn't really give a 💩 what he or others at the club 'loathe' as personally I loathe being a club struggling to tread water in 14th with stuff all prospects.

If he wants to be taken seriously... do serious stuff.

We have Pride flags, Pink Lady flags, Indigenous flags, Irish flags and more. We wave these flags during the particular matches to which they pertain. We’d need ten times the number of flag-wavers were we to wave them all, along with our many MFC flags, at every match. We have handheld banners and posters bearing players’ names/nicknames which are also plentiful, not to mention giant heads.

Goody does want us to be a destination club for indigenous players but he has no say in what we hold up. So, on this occasion you’ll have to find something else on which to blame him. But fear not, there’s no shortage of other things, just 10 minutes on these boards and you’ll find more than enough.

Perhaps we could merge the celebration of all of the various causes into one big mega round?

And therefore do something about the shambles if that is so.

Given his lack of visibility and vision Acting in all its meanings is about right

Exactly

Brad is the only guy who doesn't know he will be sacificed on the big board table

If not acting then address some issues of which there are plenty

If I was CEO?

I’d resign

Diversity is not my interest per se. Redirecting the attention away from the MCC is.

As @Jaded No More wrote in another thread, if I were CEO, I'd be getting the best suited head of footy above Goody I could. That would be my first move.

That new head of footy has some huge decisions to make about list management, line coaches and even the senior coaching position.

I'd also be calling up Monash and trying to eek put an MOU vis a vis a Caulfield partnership with their sports science school.

Diversity focused leaders with high level competency exist in many areas

You are being dismissive and aligning yourself to fake news to think otherwise Cranky.

He would be doing heaps right now, even without starting. Would be finding out issues. Planning. Getting the lay of the land.


CEO should come in and execute what the board wants - deliver on the strategic vision. The questions would be what is driving the board atm? Onfield review, off field review, home base? Lets see what they are set to do by the board, then we can know if they are a success…

You can support Diversity focused leaders & I'll support competence focused leaders.

And hopefully when I next have surgery the surgeon got their job based on their competency not their diversity identity.

As CEO... I would like to direct this question to my General Manager of Strategy and Head of Football Operations, who will answer your question verbatim with prepared key messages compiled by the Communications team.

Yeah let's have a review

It's a problem if you have an incompetent board

Nothing will change until this is addressed realisticaly

C’mon Cranky. My post was talking about competent focused leaders who embrace diversity. Win win situation. They are not exclusive to each other and I support both.

  • NON-MFC: Round 01

    With Opening Round done and dusted, Round 1 sees the full AFL competition finally swing into action for 2026. Discuss all the games this week that do not involve the Dees, share your tips, and let us know which results would suit Demons best.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
