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

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
