For some reason your post has come up empty? Are we trying to get him?

    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.

    2 very smart students of the modern game.

    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?

    Bartel, Kelly, see if Bomber can offer something in the background, get TommaHawk in for a day a week to teach JVR how to push in the back and belt people. Geelong 2007 here we come

    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

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
