I wonder if some might stop for a moment to think that its being able to do this very job which might give him some sustenance for the soul. Its a focus, almost a distraction possibily at times from his obvious health issues. And he's looks more than a tad crook atm. There may wel lbe a symbiosis of sorts occuring between Jim and his role.

Happy for him to remaiin if he wishes to. But look after yourself mate !! For you and your family :)

Spot on....Jimmy will remain President...

    Viney said it perfectly in his press conference- Jimmy is the glue that sticks this club together.

    I also believe however that Jimmy needs involvement in the club in some manner as many have said to help take his mind away from the constant cancer fight.

    As many have said- Jimmy, do whatever you need too, you will be welcome in any role at the club. If you cannot go on as president- so be it. Health and family are always number 1.

    seems the Andrews report is very much the Bain of Discontent within the club...or is it ? Is it just an excuse for some to have a [censored] ?

    All Melbourne suporters and members have Jims best interests at heart, but surley Jim knows Jim best and what ever he dose....stay on, take leave or stand down is Jim decision and his alone. The Melbourne family should stand behind him no matter the decision.

    I have no agenda nor any idea what would be in the Andrews report, but I too would be interested in a professional, independent outside view of our club.

    Jim should retire and look after his health. I would be happy for the club to create a new honorary position for him. He doesn't need the garbage he has been put through. And where are you Gary Lyon? Are you still going to be the standover man lurking in the darkness or are you going to finally stand up for the club you claim to love?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
