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!

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

does anyone know when the press conference is on today? I would love to listen to it, hopefully SEN has it on?

I believe it is at 11am

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 ?
