    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
