Could very well be.

Thought read once that he went broke in the mining industry. But i am sure he is onto something else by now.

Certainly hope its the case and he digs deep.

He did a great thing for our club, its just a shame that it ended the way it did.

After the way he was treated last time around I wouldn't blame him for not digging too deep. Apparently, he has made a big financial comeback but whether he's prepared to kick in the $'s is another thing. It's great to have him back and hopefully he will put in the balance of the pledged amount that he was supposed to put in at the time when he was deposed (nearly $300k) but I wouldn't go holding my breath while waiting.

I remember reading over xmas that he has bought prospecting rites for gold or diamonds in the NT that potentially could be worth anything. Maybe a big diamond on the jumper, but get used to more sunday games if it happens!

I wouldn't even suggest it, there's no point, bringing up stuff like that will just inflame a delicate situation. If gutnick does comes back to the club then it must be with a clean slate, all previous issues should be forgotten and will should be solely focused on future relationships.

Yep, i'm pretty sure they would move the grand final to a sunday if we ever made it.

I remember chatting with Jo at Thursday Training before the 2000 Grand Final. He was so excited! (So was i to be honest after i made the made the ABC TV News with my Prediction)

Jimmy's strength is his networking skills i have no doubt, to all those on here who have been knocking him on threads-Hold Back on that, let's just see how this all pans out. We could still be envied in Victoria in a few years.

A new Gutnick article from the HUN.

The crux of it: "Asked if he was a chance to contribute financially again, Gutnick said: "It's possible . . . it's possible.""

If Jimmy can lure peole like Gutnick back to the fold who want to contribute, well he is worth his weight in Gold. Stynes the mediator. Just what this club needs. I hope he comes back anyway because he got melbourne out in the public eye for a few years there. We were rocking. Go Jim get all the old boards together. We are all Demons.

Joe should be welcomed back for the time and commitment he put into the club in the past. The fact that much of the excitement is because people think he will put in more money is distasteful in the extreme.

I hope I did not convey that sentiment in my post (if I did it was unintentional), I merely wanted to mention the crux of the article - I agree as a Melbourne man he should be welcomed back at the club irrespective.

The most pleasing sentiment from that artical is that of unity.

This appears to be a prudent objective of Jimmy's and one he seems to getting some traction on.

To survive we must put the all demons of the past to bed and forge a new era as a strong and united club.

Credit goes not just to Jimmy but to all who are putting their differences aside and coming back into the fold.

United we stand devided we fall!

Yes. We need to end the squabbling. We're looking less dysfunctional these days.

A big welcome back to Gutnick.... no mention of Szondy, that's also good news.

Szondy is in the photo in today's sun with Spencer, Reid, Gardner, Gutnick and Jimmy. He is the only one not smiling and he looks sheepish.

Exactly my thoughts too

ALL DEMONS UNITED!!

Jimma's just wanting to unite all of Melbourne via inviting past presidents so hopefully what has happened in the past can be cast aside to show that all in sundry are behind the one thing we all and the past presidents have in common. That they all follow and want to support the Melbourne Football Club. Good on Jimma for "doing so".

while it would be great if joe gutnick was able to support the club financially, i hope we do not ask. he has already contributed more personally than anyone else.

if he decides to dig in again i hope we suggest he does it a bit different:

-gets his company to sponsor the club, rather than just donating.

-uses his contacts to help organise a large sponsorship from another company

-if he insists on putting his own money in, we should ask him to become a player sponsor or join one of the coterie groups, rather than just donate money.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
