Kate Roffey is the first major Demons figure to quit their post after superstar Christian Petracca effectively put the club on notice when he aired his grievances to senior officials and expressed his desire to be traded.
Melbourne president Kate Roffey has announced she is stepping down from her role and the board immediately, replaced at the helm by Demons great Brad Green, as the club launched a review after several years of off-field controversies.
The Demons have not won a final since their drought-busting premiership in 2021, and failed to qualify for this year’s finals, finishing 14th after losing 10 of their last 15 games.Loading Green, a best-and-fairest winner who played 254 games for Melbourne from 2000 to 2012, will lead the review of the board. The position of president will be up for re-election after the review.“I am honoured to have been chosen as president by my colleagues and proud to continue to serve this great club which has given me so many opportunities in life,” Green said.
“There is no doubt that we need to turn the faith and belief of our members and fans into results and performance, and the board stands at the top of that process.
