Yeah, what's happening?

Well, there's four candidates over the space of the last four to five days who have expressed a concern as to whether they would wanna enter the process, given James Hurd has put his hand up, uh, so publicly.

What?

...

James Hurd is their man, and it would take a thorough process and him to shoot the lights out for it to be that way, despite perhaps w- where it is.

I, I, I think they know that given he hasn't been a senior coach in 11 years, it has nothing to do with the past or the drug saga or anything like that.

It seems weird that you would move your CEO on.

It shocked everyone at the Melbourne Football Club, JB.

Uh, the president, Steve Smith, actually walked into the offices at Dees HQ and effectively said, uh, the pres- the, the, the CEO's gone.

It's effective immediately.

Uh, we'll have an interim shortly, and walked out, and it's sent the whole club into a spin.

Uh, the players were actually out on the track at the time, a few of them at Dosh's Paddock.

Uh, Guerra was called in this morning and was informed vi- via board decision that he would be, no longer be the CEO of the Melbourne Footy Club.

Can you tell us a bit about the managing of getting him to his record-breaking game in front of the home crowd against West Coast?
