Jim Stynes has copped a fair bit of criticism from some quarters but I'm impressed by his persistence in getting a quality candidate for CEO across the line.

When Cameron Schwab indicated that he wasn't in the race for CEO, it was reported that he chased Stuart Fox of Geelong and even rang him five or six times in one day to persuade him that he was a wanted man. Although that didn't work, he then continued to show that persistence and finally got his man in Schwab.

You have to admire this because, over a very long time, that does not appear to have been a feature at the MFC.

I hope he continues to go hard like a dog at a bone when it comes to securing other assets needed by the club.

I totally agree!

Jimmy Stynes played 244 games IN A ROW for the Melbourne Demons and he is now showing the same doggedness and persistency as the President as he did as a player.

Let's hope all the hard-work pays off and instead of winning a brownlow as a player he is able to help the MFC to not only survive but thrive and finally break the drought and WIN an AFL Premiership in the next few years.

GO DEMONS AND GO JIMMY STYNES!

We have secured the right CEO for the job needed. That whole Mateship Garbage was invented by the Press. August 2008 has been a great Month for this club
