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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
