David Schwarz for MFC President? [MERGED]

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

The Ox as a face of the club for some things would be great, but agree with some of the other posts, we need a strong Prez, wether his is Don or not, I'm not 100% sure.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Didn't Leoncelli step down from the board because of work committments.

What about Brian Cook for CEO. hasn't he gone over to the US of A to study short term.

Neil Balme maybe looking for another position at the end of the year.

That wouldn't be bad. Balmy & Cooky together again.

Those two would certainly be able to build a new culture

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

I thought Cook re signed with Geelong after North did a massive push and nearly got him at the end of last year.

Ron Walker - Demons supporter, successful business man, very well connected, if he can organise an Olympic Games, who knows, maybe he can organise the current mess that is MFC.

[T-34 409]

Just get the best possible people in the jobs, don't care whether they have an emotional attachment or not.

[djr 1,071]

Does anybody know much about Ron Gauci? He is currently CEO of the Melb Storm. Took over from Matt Hansen after the salary cap scandal in 2010. What he has done to rebuild that club after the football department and board was completely stripped has been remarkable. I know it does help having the best coach in the business under him.

Someone mentioned glenn Lovett and I think that would be an awesome choice! Very successful business person but I think he lives in America?

Poll as per request from Tonatopia

[jazza 1,323]

so true you can BET on that

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.

[Scipio 5,868]

Not quite sure I'd be comfortable with him in this role considering his lack of experience for this sort of thing.

Love his passion though and really do want him involved with the club in some capacity because you can tell he really cares about the club, especially in comparison to some who are there at present.

[Sir Why You Little 34,614]

Can't answer Yes or No to this yet.

Need to hear more...But if Ox does into the club he certainly coould be Prez down the track.

We need a face. Jimmy proved that.

Unite supporters.

Can't even imagine why anyone would think so.

Nothing against him, but this is a business not a media program.

Football Director maybe.

If we needed a new pres with a football background (and I don't think we do) , I'd be looking at someone like Greg Wells.

[Longsufferingnomore 1,480]

I love Ox and his very open passion for the Club (in contrast to others) but I don't think he would be suited to Presidency. I do want him actively involved in the Club. I think Greg Wells would be far better fit given his background in business. Despite the misgivings about the Club having an active "boys club" all Clubs have past players who play a role in their Clubs. What we need at this time is enthusiasm, passion and commitment from ex players whether it is just calling into the Club and talking to the young players to actually taking roles. It could be calling into the Club on membership nights and talking to supporters who are considering their future memberships. Just having Stephen Powell in one night was great and had a great reaction from supporters. What I am trying to get at is seeing that past players are not giving up on the Club rubs off on players low on confidence in their playing ability and supporters low in confidence in their Club.

jazza, those sorts of jokes should be saved for the opposition.

Give it a rest and go and wet a line at Moonlight Heads or something...

I love ox... I wanna see this man on the board! I wanna see this man back on the ground! (Probably a bad idea... but still wanna see it!!!!)

Silver spoons, do you fall over coz of the chip on your shoulder, have a look at the poll results, not quite what you were looking for, you need to realise that a lot of posters on here actually think for themselves and like to make considered decisions, do you have any experience at Board level at any organisation?

*Crickets*

[DemonWA 3,453]

If i was a player at the MFC i would love to see past players getting involved in the club. Perhaps President is a little lofty, but seeing the Ox come and throw his support behind the club would signal to me that the club is a life long thing, something that you are part of for life.

Who knows could make a diference to guys like Chippa, Syliva and Watts when the time comes for them to sign new deals

[Binmans PA 26,263]

I would have the Ox down in some capacity if we can get the right position. I believe we need someone who is a strong business person, but also obviously has a large knowledge base on the football side of things. No from me for Prez certainly.

gee jazza I thought some of the more 'thoughtful' posts on this board would be enough of a chuckle for you, I never understood attacking a fish with a stick and a bit of string though......I laughed at your post if any consolation, appealed to my sense of humour as well.....irony...you know what you press clothes with

[MadAsHell 4,088]

How about Mal Waldon the channel 10 news reader? He's a demons man! haha.

In more seriousnes though if we were after a new president I'd of thought either Don Argus or Greg Wells would be good fits.

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