My pet hate #1. If your thread is a question rather than giving us information, put a ? in your title, so suckers like me don't open the thread expecting you to have all the juicy goss. I've edited your thread title accordingly.

Sorry to be a little anal. I've got no news. Carry on.

i heard Bill gates is interested

i dont want this to go any further than we demon fans, but i have it on good authority that we are head hunting Chopper Read for our c e o .

he has a reputation for getting things done, and when he talks, people listen.

p.s.

i got this from a reliable source

On a more serious note, it was rumoured on SEN this morning that Adelaide CEO Steven Trigg is on the short list of 4-5 candidates.

Hopefully, I'm not wasting Nasher's time with this rumour. ;)

When would somebody like Trigg take the reins though? Surely Adelaide wouldn't be happy to just have him walk right on the eve of the season proper. Particularly considering the fantastic job he seems to have done for them, both in promoting the club in the public forum (I often hear him on MMM and such), and in terms of management. I'm all for treading (stamping) on toes but surely something like that would be difficult for Trigg to wrangle, at least in a reputable fashion (for him I mean).

It's no different to Greg Swann leaving Collingwood to join Carlton. It p#ssed off McGuire big time, to the extent that Eddie won't talk to Swann. But that's the business world. If Trigg sees us as a challenge that'll look good on his CV, I doubt that Adelaide will stop him leaving.

Great journalism Greg Denham. Five paragraphs on the subject matter, and ten paragraphs on Chris Judd's return. :angry:

Since Nasher brought up his pet hate, this is one of mine.

What on earth was wrong with Greg Denham's journalism in this case? He's got the information about McNamee from a source and had it confirmed, but it seems neither McNamee, the headhunters nor the club would talk on record. Thus, it makes it pretty hard to write the 15 paragraphs you seem to be demanding without making it up.

The news about McNamee is clearly the most newsworthy item that Denham had, so it was up the top of the story and the headline refers to it.

He's also got the information about Chris Judd, and some comment from Carlton. Rather than waste space in a tight sports section on a Wednesday, they've combined the two stories. Not uncommon in a paper like the Australian that tries to give equal exposure to all sports that capture the national sporting public's interest.

Again, can you please explain to all the good people at Demonland what was wrong with Denham's "journalism", as you put it?

Or, as I suspect, are you just whinging because there's not enough words about Melbourne for your liking, and casting needless and unfounded aspersions on someone's professionalism as a way of coping?

It may not be poor journalism but it sure as hell is poor editing. Giving the article that headline when it's predominantly about Juddas is pretty ordinary. As is the (much) shorter story coming first, when typically they tack them on at the end.

Could be a possible fit. A former successful sportsman and CEO of one of this country's biggest sports events. Currently CEO of another major sporting event. Would be very close to many large companies and know all about what is needed for a successful sponsorship. If he gets along with his staff and promotes a good working environment he could be a good fit for us. Certainly a candidate worth closely examining as he would have many qualities that the incumbent doesn't.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
