Not happening. Read the herald sun today kids.

Shattered...knew it was too good to be true.

However for this football club to die there are going to be a lot of POWERFUL people that will stand-by on the wayside and let it happen.

    If you are going to insinuate an argument on a poster have the good sense to get it right. Here is what I wrote on another thread:

    Whats your concern with Argus CV and why would he not be as capable as any other AFL club President going around?

    Not that its important now.... :(

    I've got no issue with Argus' CV, in fact I think he'll be fantastic for the club. I'm just making the point that the principles of good business and customer service apply to AFL football, just like every other industry.

    As an aside, it was mentioned in an article in today's Age that Graeme Samuel was also being courted for a role on the board. He would be an ideal president, as he understands the workings and politics of the AFL.

    I should have read mousey's link before I posted. What a bummer. :(

    may still have legs yet - you'd expect that comment from him while hes halfway through the takeover of Rio Tinto.

    It's been rumoured after the takeover goes through, he may look to step down and focus on other things.. hopefully thats us.

    He is not even half way through the Rio Tinto takeover. And he has other corporate roles as well.

    And you are drawing the longest straw on this one.

    Properly still another 12 to 18 months before the Rio takeover rounds to a close. We need someone to come in now, not then.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
