Kate Roffey is from Narrabri in northern New South Wales. It’s a small cotton town that sits at the fork of the Namoi River, as far from Brisbane as it is from Sydney.
“Supporters, when I took over, were scared or whatever of a woman as president and I would say ‘stop this! We have to stop. We are not the Melbourne Football Club of 1952, or 1968 or 1976, we are the Melbourne Football Club of 2021 and this different. We are setting ourselves up to be the best club,’” Roffey said.
What is as remarkable about Roffey’s leadership of Melbourne is that she took over as president when the board moved against her predecessor Glenn Bartlett a month into the season – when the team was undefeated. That is not ordinarily the time for leadership change at a club. “I know it seems unusual, it is what it is. I am the president now ... Could I have ever dreamed I would be president of the Melbourne Football Club? Absolutely not, but stranger things have happened, I guess.”By comparison, Watson-Wheeler’s rise to the presidency of the Bulldogs was part of a long-planned succession from Peter Gordon. The elevation of the Disney executive and lifelong Bulldogs fan to the leadership of the club was notable in that she is the first woman to lead the club.
