    Would love to get Jimmy into that role

    Reckon he’d be well suited given his board/admin experience at GWS

    Bartel said he hadn't been approached by the club on his podcast with Mcguire but that he'd be interested in a role like it.

    Get him in with Buckley for a joint Interview and then announce them.

    Mitch clearly tweeted

    "Jimmy Bartel is a person of interest for Melbourne's soon-to-be-created head of strategy role and will sit between the football department and CEO.

    The Demons wants someone with football experience but who can also think outside the square."

    I know we're on a really interesting time line in terms of needing to make appointments, but i can't help but feel like in an ideal perfect world we'd have had this position filled so that person could have been part of the coaching search process.

    Jimmy would be a fantastic get for the club, it does help to increase credibility to get these universally respected footy people in the door.

    I would hope the club has secretly made this appointment before going to the media....

    Doesn’t this mean Bucks would report to Bartel if all things came to fruition?

    Would Bucks be deterred or encouraged by that appointment?

    Amen. I'm not keeping my hopes up, but if we could get Jimmy in this role, it's going to go a very long way for us, supporters, in rebuilding some faith and trust with this football department/club.

    If we can't get Bartel, maybe we could take Brent Moloney instead. (IYKYK laugh )

    And IYD?...🤔

    We've previously tried to lure Bartel across to us, so there is residual interest. This could turn into a very interesting 'watch this space' over the next few weeks.

    @Gator , Richo is being pushed out the door. He might still be employed, but he's outside for next year, with few powers. Hopefully we can get his salary outside the soft cap too.

    It worries me he's on the coaching panel, but he's one of many voices.

    As part of the Brad Ottens Richmond to Geelong trade at the end of 2004, we gave pick 12 to Geelong to pass onto Richmond.

    In turn we asked Geelong for Bartel but they refused and we eventually accepted Moloney instead.

    Brent gave us very good service, but it's pretty clear that Bartel was the superior player.

    Got me thinking.... if we'd given Goodwin and Richardson a job as "membership ambassadors" for 2026 would their salary have been outside the soft cap.

    Can't be that easy

    Surprised Jimmy is interested in the role tbh. Maybe he is sick of talking to Eddy.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
