Jeff Kennett Tells Us To Relocate, what an arrogant ... he said this in a talk at a charity footy panel tonight...

this was reported by hutchy on the footy show... who also reported that within the next 6 weeks we should see a move from Jim Stynes with a ticket to take over the board, planed to be a non-hostile takeover...

not sure how much good it will do us...

Has anyone told him that they are staring a club from scratch on the GC. I didn't think it was possible to have your head up you rear with your foot in your mouth as well. No wonder he didn't want to be filmed saying it.

Guest unstable punt
I could give a reasoned critique over why he is wrong and that we can in fact make it in Melbourne.

But I think i'll just say "frack off, Jeff."

Kennett just confirmed what most have known for years, he's an arrogant tossbag and he just makes me hate the dawks even more than the loathing l have for them now. :angry:

Superb use of the word "Frack" there.... curse word of the future...

As for Jeff... Have you ever seen a bigger hanger-on? He wanders around like he's the driving force behind the Hawks' resurgence. Anyone with half a footy brain could see they were headed places. He's just trying to push us in that direction so that the future is more secure for HIS club... The difference between Jeff and REAL football people? No other REAL lover of football would ever advocate the moving or watering-down of another club. Especially one with a history that is shared with their own club.

There is nothing lower in the sporting world than a mug who willfully campaigns, even in a small way, for the shifting or merging of clubs. Anyone who has ever met a former die-hard Roys fan knows what I'm talking about.

Hawks have one of these jerk-offs for a president.

We'll remember this one Jeff. And when the Hawks capitulate in 5-10 years, we'll be the first to jump on your clubs back.

Our memories are long, Jeffrey. They have to be. We follow a club with a longer history than yours...

There's only one way to shut blokes like Kennett up..........get our act together!!!!!!!

The Hawks have done it, Geelong has done it, Collingwood has done it.........granted with different strengths and weaknesses compared to us, but surely it can't be mission impossible!

I'm sick to death of our club being the whipping boy of the AFL competition!

Pfft having watched Hutchy previously, he probably spliced together material gathered together a year ago. He can F|_|ck off, along with Kennett. Wow, your membership has gone up so much (Since you went to Tasmania and handed out 20 dollar memberships).

Hutchy's comments make no sense and should not be taken seriously. I mean honestly, who votes this guy for being journalist of the year? Must be a keen bean award

Thanks Jeff, any MFC supporter that can get to the game should to show this loud mouth ego just how passionate we are. Not like his weak hawks supporters that accept him selling 4 home games to Tasmania. With out that money Jeff you also would be begging the AFL for money or maybe that is your grand plan to relocate hawthorn to Tasmania your already play 36% of your home games there. Just like when you were premier selling things off to hide the true state of your finances.

Jeff's been jealous of the MFC for a long time now... he want's us to die. He'd got form for beating up those that can't fight back. We shouldn't take it lying down and tell him in no uncertain terms to stick it up his jumper and worry about his own back yard and the extra curricula activities contained therein.

I know I'm going to cop alot for this but here goes anyway.....I'm not saying that Kennet is right, he definitely shouldn't be commenting about another club financial status, it has nothing to do with him. But, since tiger Ridley put forward his reasoning that the club is not going to be able to survive in it's present form has anything happened since to prove him wrong?

The only thing he didn't foresee was the AFL's CBF. Without that though we wouldn't have survived over the last half a decade, and now the AFL has made the decision to completely stop that funding. As we stand now we are unable to survive without assistance.

Who says the AFL has made the decision to completely stop that funding? Paul Gardner on SEN this morning made two good points:

1. The stadium arrangements that clubs have makes the whole income system totally imbalanced. He gave an example that if Geelong get 25,000 spectators at Skilled Stadium they make $650,000. If we get 25,000 to the G we make $20,000. He said the AFL are acutely aware of the situation and need to keep the CBF in place due to these anomalies.

2. As far as Boofhead Kennett is concerned Garnder thought it laughable that he is telling us to relocate when they have already sold off 4 or 5 of their home games to Tasmania so maybe they should think of a total relocation.

Best option here is to ignore Kennett and the boys come out on Sunday and kick some hawk butt. Now wouldn't that be the best way to respond to that [censored]?

Jeff aka Joffa....

both wear a gold jacket

both speak through their rectums

both blinded by only having one eye

only difference is that jeff kennett has more teeth!!

maybe this is what the club needed - a rev up from a man with a humungous and head and boufant!!

i would love in five years time, to be in a position where we play 15 games at the G, we do not travel as much, we are positioned for a premiership, we are successful off the field with record memberships, large sponsorships with multinational companies, increasing profits and we have a marquee player!!

But more importantly, the footy club stands for something!!

Jimmy Stynes may be the man with his backers but Paul Gardiner is a class act that has given so much during his time and possibly set the club on the right road!!

Pello, even with the CBF this year we're going to lose at least half a million. We are in trouble and we cannot afford to rely on the AFL to continue to bail us out.

What concerns me about Melbourne fans is the fact that even after everything that's happened to this club we still have the attitude that 'we'll be right, the afl won't let us die.' Well there will come a day when the AFL will bend to the wishes of the non-victorian clubs and actively reduce the number of teams in Victoria.

Can someone explain to me how we are set for a loss of over 1$ Million when our is almost what it was last year, we have had LESS injuries, and crowd figures are roughly what they were last year, possibly even more.

The Steve Harris sacking must've cost the club dearly, and the annoying this was that it was an avoidable situation. Anyone could see he shouldn't have got a contract extension, but for some reason the club sees fit to retain him and then drop him 3 or 4 months into his new contract.

Yet again the club takes one step forward and three steps back.

:angry: :angry: :angry:

On Kennett, he can stick his opinion where the sun don't shine, the AFL has already said they are creating a separate entity up there and they are want an 18 team competition for the next TV rights deal.

Very true, however us members and supporters haven't been told how to help. Apart from buying a membership and going to as many games as possible, what else can i do?

The timing is nearly perfect for something like this.

A cheap swipe from someone as arrogant as Jeff will be just the catalyst we need to get things going for the dees.

The president in waiting (Stynes probably) should respond with a burst of passion. PG should support the response and then handover the presidency. No hostile takeovers, present a united front.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward.

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
