7. Ian Johnson _channel 7 exec promises rebecca a spot on dancing with the stars or something like that, as he is helping us get juddy

As Rebecca already works for ch 7 (in Perth) and Johnno is on the MFC "Judd " sub-committee then she must be on the short list for new CH7 Melb weather girl!!!.

As Judd stated in his press conference other aspects of life are inportant to him! Paper said today they are looking to settle in bayside suburbs & lookinf towards raising a family. As Chris's parents live in Sandy makes sense & so is couple of boxes MFC can tick off besides the Club he supported and No 3 being available!

If I were him I wouldn't see hawthorn to be all that unappealing... They should be successful for the next few years, they play at the G and the travel time to trainings isn't huge from his bayside home (compared to say carlton).

there's a little question of off-field behavior that was in the news not long ago

Ian Johnson should offer judd what he wants and then sign bec to 7 for a million per year judd stays signed to us :)

Actually something similar to that happened in the rugby league.......

With Mat Rogers girlfriend Chloe Maxwell given a massive radio contract with the major sponsor of the club he was going to sign for, the Gold Coast Titans.

It was investigated by the NRL for any salary cap breaches but given that no-one was going to say that she got the gig because of her connection to Rogers, or when she signed on to the station, but was employed because of her huge amounts of media ability and experience, especially in radio, the club was not penalised.

Make of that what you will :rolleyes: !!!

i think you could get away with it. the only problem would be getting the money thru chan 7 to twigs.

say chan 7 become our major sponsor (worth around 1 mil a year). we need to get money to twigs. we cant pay chan 7 to do it because that will show up on the books. if chan 7 withhold half the payment of sponsorship to pay twigs it will show up.

it will be obvious to those who look thru the books that the sponsorship deal is worth more than we are getting paid...

I don't think thats the point. We don't pay Twigley. Dear lord why would we?

What we can do is get her a very attractive position (pun sort-of intended) at Channel 7 Melbourne via Ian Johnson. He will obviously be able to pull some strings to arrange something, and nobody will be able to cry foul because she is smoking hot and already has a TV (and Channel 7) background. It is also in no way legally connected to the club.

I don't know whether MFC are going to approach this angle (that we can take care of his missus), but if Ian Johnson is indeed closely involved in this committee we apparently have set up, then we damn well should be. Judd is obviously very concerned about his outside-of-footy future, so we need to make some arrangements to this end.

Honestly I never thought I would say this.

However, strictly from a TV ratings point of view this might make some commercial sense for Channel 7.

Lets face it Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond & Essendon are always going to give you strong ratings.

However, if you strengthen the Demons its an added bonus for your ratings. I'm sure the more "blockbusters" then can promote the better.

It comes down to this:

Money, power, publicity, big crowds, great facilities

OR

Melbourne

Jaded,

I think the fact we lack these things gives us some sort of an advantage. (except for the facilities) He didn't want the fame and fortune side of it otherwise he'd have stayed with WCE. Other things motivate him.

Agree, that's the biggest spin everyone gets sucked into.

Apart from Facilities (which is an issue) Judd wouldn't give 2 hoots about everything else.

Money. wtf. He will earn as much in Melbourne as he would in Collingwood. Because Collingwood makes more revenue, Will his Melbourne $800,000+ salary be inferior to his $800,000+ contract with Collingwood.

Power/Connections: Every club's got connections and don't forget his Chris Judd. He could go to any company in Melbourne and they would take him in. He's Chris Judd and football is number one in this town.

Publicity. States he does not want to do media.

Big crowds. Judd will make everyone come out of the woods.

And I am sure he would be well aware that this is a problematic situation that is about to be changed for the better.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
