No disrespect to Don McLardy....I know he's done a good job as President of the Melbourne Demons. However, his interview today with the resignation for Cameron Schwab was underwhelming.

Both Jim Stynes (RIP) and Don McLardy were excellent in their efforts of fixing up the mass amount of debt that the Melbourne Football Club had. Nevertheless, we need a NEW culture change at the Melbourne Football Club. People who have leadership and are also a spruikiers of the Demons in the Media. People who will continue to talk about Media and promote us in a positive manner. As we now know, Garry Lyon is "too busy" to help the Demons and we shouldn't expect him to come to our aid. That is why I think we should ask David Schwarz and perhaps also Dr. Turf (John Rothfield) to help with joining the Melbourne Football Club board (yes, I was listening to SEN Radio this afternoon!).

David Schwarz would be an excellent President of the Melbourne Football Club in my honest opinion. We should also look at getting a number of other former MFC players to help out the club. In a kind of "call to arms" at the Demons. I know that Glenn Lovett (the bald one) is now a successful businessman and is somebody who may also like to come and help the Demons out.

Overall, the main thing we need at the Melbourne Football Club NOW is LEADERSHIP and those who wish to CHANGE the culture of the Demons. Somebody who is similar to former Cats President Frank Costa and Collingwood President Eddie "Everywhere" McGuire. As much as I hate Collingwood I respect Eddie McGuire as a good Football Club President.

The time is NOW to change the entire culture at the Melbourne Football Club, from the President down to the boot-studder, and bring about a new and successful future.

In the end we all need to know stick together to help the survival of our beloved Melbourne Football Club.

Oh Jesus. I love the Ox, but the man's never made a sound decision in his life. Someone with some business acumen who knows footy, please.

lol - comparing Jeff Kennett to David Schwarz. As Yossarian said, he was the Premier of Victoria. He might be a footy dunce, but he knows how to run an organisation. Honestly, I can't believe peopl

I love the Ox but this can't possibly be a serious suggestion..

I think Ox has some bridges to build at the club first, by his own admission.

I'd love to see him on the board though so that we have more footy people involved that can look the players in the eye.

My money is on Healy or Spargo.

No, too fragile and emotional, wouldn't make a good president.

We need a professional and sadly, as much as Schwab needed to go, he was more professional than Don.

Schwarz isn't a professional bloke, you only have to look as far as him flipping out passionately on the radio to know that he isn't the man for the job.

Sorry mate, but I don't buy in to the Ox being president!, loved the bloke as a footballer but we cannot afford to make another mistake regarding the CEO and president. When you look at Costa, Eddie and what even Kochie is doing at Port, Ox just isn't t in that field.

The Ox is a lot sharper, deeper and smarter than his radio personality demonstrates, but he is neither president nor board material. I really like him on radio, and in his gambling ambassador role there is real substance - these are the places he excels. There is the great risk that he could rise to the level of his incompetence.

Our new leader has to have a strong work ethic, be able to draw sponsors, speak well in the media, work through vision and strategy, and LEAD in a professional environment.

Greg Healy is a strong possibility

Has Leoncelli got any runs on the board?

There's some harsh critics on here!

It was merely a suggestion...

If people have better suggestions then that's fine....I just want a successful culture finally implemented at the Melbourne Football Club.

We haven't had a Premiership since 1964.....we need to work through this problem and solve our issues together.

No more mediocrity and acceptance of near enough is good enough....

I just want to see SUCCESS...I want to see the Melbourne Demons win the Premiership during my lifetime. Is that too much to ask for?

You guys all seem to like to shoot down my suggestion...but that's fine. But can you provide a BETTER option?

If not David Schwarz then who..??

We need LEADERSHIP!

We need to CHANGE the MFC culture!

We need to to have SUCCESS!

Greg Healy is a better option, and that's without looking outside the existing board.

I wouldn't mind seeing Greg Wells back involved at the Melbourne Football Club.

I honestly don't know much about Greg Wells. I know he was a good player for the Demons back in the 70s and then left to Carlton to play in Premierships.

If he is a good businessman and a passionate Demons supporter who wants to help out the Club then he's more than welcome to help! The more help we get the merrier!

We need someone to rally behind and/or who rally on our behalf as President.

That means a former player of great standing and inspiration or a commercial entity like Eddie.

All options are on the table, especially if the current board can stay largely intact. I wouldn't mind some sort of stability at the club.

I would love TheOx to be heavily involved in some high profile capacity at the club, but President and Board are roles that need smart business people: one with a big footy background as President and who is a good public speaker is needed. I like the suggestions of Loencelli or Grag Healey should they be available and interested.

SD I'd like to see more of the Ox around the club too.........but he's not Prez material

Would be good to get him working with the boys

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
