Ill give it a crack. i have a certificate III in Warehouse & Transport distribution so i believe im fully qualified. I like money and i also like the dees.

As well you'd need to be a Certificate IV Boilermaker and have an Endorsed Licence to even be considered.

I believe the field for the next CEO is:

Karen Hayes, Brian Waldron or Danny Corcoran.

Cameron Schwab is a romantic notion but contracted to Freo for another year.

Would love to see Danny Corcoran back at demonland. He ticks all the boxes for mine. And the CEO job would be a walk in the park compared to his current job at Athletics Australia. It's not called AA for nothing :rolleyes:

I would imagine we need a pretty special sort of person for the CEO position. Experience in a similar position, requisite educational qualifications, financial skills, corporate skills, interpersonal human relation skills, marketing skills or experience, contacts at the upper end of town, media skill and a passion for the job are just some of the qualities that could be or should be required of the successful candidate.

Therefore posts such as ' appoint Joe Blow he is a nice bloke" are a waste of the effort in typing them.

That said, it is disappointing to have so many CEO appointments at this club terminated. We need to get it bloody right for once. The Cats and Bulldogs as examples seem to have got it right, why can't we?

For interest this is on the Web re: Karen Hayes. Seriously impressive

It was a promising writeup to start with, but I'm a bit put off by that last part.

Let's have the full quote why don't we?

Karen is a breast cancer survivor of 11 years, having been diagnosed in 1996.

She's a survivor. That's fantastic and what makes her CV even more fantastic is the fact that a lot of what she's achieved was done in the 11 or 12 years since diagnosis. That's even more fantastic and a lot better than some old fart men who have no respect or tolerance for achievement of this sort.

When asked on SEN this morning about the Melbourne CEO position, Brian Waldron said that he had a handshake agreement with the Storm to stay till 2010, and that he's happy at the Storm. Reading between the lines, that suggests that he's certainly interested in the CEO position, otherwise he could have categorically said that he's not leaving the Storm.

Replacing Harris will undoubtedly be a challenging task and extremely vital to MFC's future. Karen Hayes presence on the MFC board will be a positive in regard to the selection process. Expect the Board to have learned from the experience with Harris and there will be more particular job specification for his replacement. AFL and MCC will have input in to that also.

Also, the task when Harris was appointed was clear and simple. Needed to get the club back in balance and pay for the deficits from the Schwab and Ellis periods. Now the MFC has to move forward and develop new income streams. Once the new training facility etc is up and operating there will not be any excuses for MFC underperforming. So incoming CEO will have a challenging but more promising scope. hopefully that may attract higher calibre applicants.

As far as the name mentioned are concerned in my view MFC definitely should not go back to Schwab & I also have some questions in regard to Waldron. He and Danny Corcoran have not yet achieved clear success in their current jobs noting that not that long in them. No problem with them being in the initial interview process.

As is 150th year no doubt the Board will try and need to move quickly & try to get new CEO in place by end of March - for main 150th events etc. Must allow that pressure to rush them as is sucha vital decision.

Also, MFC must appoint a CEO who MFC wants. Must be someone who can work better with AFL and MCC but cant be a AFL nominee! A weak MFC is no in the interests of anyone including the AFL Commission

We need someone who will improve out bottom line. Is Waldron capabable of this?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
