Did anyone hear bails on morning glory this morning?

Would love if someone could give me a recap!

 
Great appointment if you consider the lengths that he went to obtain the position.

If he shows the same commitment, and innovation, during his time at Melbourne, it can only be very beneficial for our club.

After reading that article its made me even more impressed, mcnamee has gone out of his way and surveyed the surrounding areas to find out the real plight of the club and how he would go about fixing it... good stuff..

Im really excited about the off field team we have in place now...

nervous, but excited... anyone else?

i'm listening now...this is good news i hope...just quickly, i was going to ask before, who does conlan work for?

bloody brilliant news, our new off-field team is certain to raise the profile and maybe have enough gonads to stick for the club when the media and clubs are having free-kicks at us

The vision of McNamee and Connolly in the same room is frightening.

Who else would get a word in?

Great appointment and congratulations to both the MFC and Paul.

The fact that Paul is not a football man is irrelevant, that is Connelly's job. Paul is here to make all those MFC ideas a reality namely:

- Casey Fields summer base

- China

- New Home

- Team Melbourne

But most importantly attract the Corporate support to fund these things and get us out of debt!

Paul is a man, I believe, that can make these ideas float! Exciting times to be involved with the MFC!

Bailey, Connelly and McNamee great appointments and a lot of credit has to go to Paul Gardner, although some people on this site don't think he is doing a good job! :wacko:

quite an interesting read isnt it.:) I think we'll finally see a lot more effort made to raise the profile of the club now. You get the impression he really wanted he job. He strikes me as a lateral thinker and someone who doesnt confine their efforts to things you find only in boxes :)

Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing us have a much greater presence in the media then we have for the last five years.

There's nothing like free advertising.

thanks mate appreciate it


an exciting appointment and what one would describe as a massive coup...

look at the sponsorship of the aussie open during his years in charge and also the necessity for increased prize money, the hopman cup and growth of this tournament...

the golf was an interesting one and what he has done for this was eveident this eyar but moreso going forward.. the concept of the par 3 colloseum and the press that one hole received was amazing....

was described by the head of golf as being a little left of centre in his ideas...

I think that we now have a strong administration team in place..

now for onfield!!

Does anyone know if McNamee had anything to do with the SmartCup Invitational down at Flinders?

Great news ..... and great to have a (rare) positive thread on Demonland.

Go DEES

Paul is very excited about the challenge ahead. HUGE job and MASSIVE WIN for the Dee's. ! He is definitely one of the best in the business. You only have to see where he took the Australian Open (tennis) and more recently, the accolades re Australian Opens (golf). He is innovative, entrepreneurial, determined and…..used to working with lots of people….expects perfection……and…….boy, I’m making him sound like God!!!!! Well, I have a close friend who has worked with him for 20 years now and knows him inside out.

In the lead up to our game on sunday...ITS GREAT NEWS!

BILLY.... would it be fair to say we're in for something "completely different " with Mac ?

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
