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] ?

Would make an excellent read..I hope it is made available at some stage....We did pay for it.

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.

"Would make an excellent read..I hope it is made available at some stage....We did pay for it. "

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?
