I consider myself a reasonably influential Melbourne supporter. Tomorrow, at Moonee Valley, I'm going to approach Black Caviar to see if there's any interest. If she doesn't say "neigh", then I'll t

I want Schwab or McLardy to answer this BS.

Thank you.

And if you are being sarcastic you should get a little more confidence about you. It's very liberating being solely focused on how you do what you do :P

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you're sentiment, just thought it was a bit over the top and even more-so now considering you'd not read the article.

Thanks for the advice too. A shrink on Demonland.

Goes to show how much credence I gave the whole affair.

Onwards and upwards. Not sideways. Like I said, nothing journo, from a nothing paper. I read things that are pertinent to the club, not hyperbole from a bitter hack.

Well that answers that, doesn't it? Kennett will have to name his source or lose whatever credibility he had left; not a lot I might add.

Good to see the Dee's saying something about this rubbish, again showing our united front and the fact that we are not going to put up with rubbish anymore. However, let that be the end of it, we don't need any negative publicity or a public row with Jeff after the momentum we have built over the last month or so!!

Kennett stooped to his lowest level when he tried to win points at our Jimmy's expense - see above link

I sent a nice little email to the Hawthorn fc to let him know how I felt - I'm not expecting a xmas card back !

Kennett & Denham i would say.....Both of them smell bad if this is a complete Beat Up.

The problem here is you have an Ego in Kennett who needs attention and a journo that needs a story. Kennett knows who to bait people and you will find he placed this in front of Denham and he bit hard.

Do you know what it keeps Melbourne in the News, the only club that has been in the news over the past week has been Melbourne with Mitch Clark.

So thank you Media and this just shows we are worth writing about even if is a nothing story's.

Yeah , every dog has his day .

2004 - We played finals after a 14/8 season - whilst the Hawks were busy tanking - they lost 12 of their last 14 games

And picked up Buddy and Roughy in that years draft - love reminding my Hawk mates of that one - tarnished 2008 flag !?

We'll be strong again soon enough - Kennett is now an irrelevance .

Who really cares? Someone approached Kennett to be President - big deal!

I agree, But it's the fact he has dug it up now...This is obviously old news if it happened at all.

Why did you dig it up Greg Denham, what purpose are you serving?

Are you putting the Boot into Jimmy or just a general Bash?? You are a Turd of the highest order...i recognize that deep little voice anywhere...

It is probably BS, and BS about the Presidency of this great club is always worth fighting, and even more so when Jim Stynes is your President.

I don't like BS.

We should call Kennett and The Ausrtalian out on it.

Will KB call Greg Denham out on this next week. He will say we approached Jeff and whe won't back down.

The thing is someone must have asked him because Jeff just wouldn't sit there and think I might make up a story about melbourne approaching me. Maybe someone did and doesnt have the guts to own up.

We'll someone did and I don't think Kennett is making it up. The club stated it was no-one from the board or no-one connected with it which I also believe. Clearly it was someone that probably wasn't directly invloved with the club that thought he'd do a good job. At the end of the day this entire story is a storm in a tea cup.

Maybe - most likely, even - Kennett was boozing it up with some Melbourne heavy hitters, one of whom said/joked/thought-out-loud: "Hey, Jeff old c0ck, I wish we had a president like you. You'd love to run the Dees. Give it a shot."

Yes, but it's our tea cup.

A journalist and a club president just metaphorically punched us in the face and we should probably break a nose or two.

If nothing else, it will make us feel better.

Agree. Do nothing and you stand for nothing according to some.

Yes, I would prefer we go too far, try to get Denham sacked, and get the holier-than-thou refrain from Patrick Smith that we acting like 'sullen bullies' or whatever grammatical flourish takes the fancy of this person who loves sport but hates everyone involved in it.

Sorry to turn this into Smith-bashing...

It is exactly what we need to find out....If we go in hard and then find out kennett was right....not good.

Yeah right. The Australian are going to sack Denham over something that most likely did happen!!! I'm sure there are more pressing matters the club need to deal with to be honest......... I despise Denham as much as the next person but to even suggest that Denham should be sacked over this is just ridiculous!

This has been going on all year. Lyon slammed Kennett on TFS following Kennett getting stuck into us about appointing Lyon.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
