    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?

    The Kelly/Bartel combination is going to hit different. Geelong boys reunitied.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
