Potential club president candidates?

Featured Replies

Posted

I believe the Dees are in need of a change of president, someone in possession of a lot more charisma and influence being my preference for the job. It's obvious the club president has an important role and is an essential part of a good team (Koch's takeover of port and their subsequent re-vitalization being an example of this).

So my question is, Who's an ideal club president? Matt Damon is apparently a dee's fan, as is Ana Ivanovich, could they be the right people for the job? (Since they'd definitely be interested in the position).

 

Let you into a secret, Redleg is the man for the job. He would get everyone working together and build an inclusive, successful, football club. He would also get rid of the carbon tax and make MFC memberships cheaper.

Max Gawn for president?

Well if you become President then Julia Gillard should be the CEO.

Redleg and the Redhead - another mentor/pupil situation and based on the way the country's running at the moment it sounds like a truly Melbournesque combination.

he has the personality. might do better than Don

Sorry 'redleg' and 'Jack' but isn't Bob Hawke mister charisma, just what we need to get the factions together. Keating as CEO of the banana republic that is the MFC, get rid of the ridiculous KPI's at the FD and bring in the "J" curve and we're on our way. Will need a succession plan, Eddies has worked as well as Bob's and John's.

Politics of any kind, isn't it a wonderful thing.

A drovers dog could run this club.

We've got double digit failure, and double digit coach replacement.

Next President, Tim Wilson.


Robbie Flower by the length of the straight. However, If wishes were horses & he won't, can we at least have someone who's pleasant to look at.....no offence to Don. My candidate (for our first lady president) is Candice Swanepoel !!!

As you can see she's also a fully fledged Demon already.....

This whole replace the president, replace the CEO, replace the coach, replace the <insert target>, thing has become an absolute YAWN fest! All we see is countless repetition of the same arguments on both sides of the fence and the same agenda driven destabilisation proponents!

Mods, I beg you, please shut this thread down!

Ok, I'll nominate Range Rover and his minions for the board, just so that we can start a whole new raft of threads just like this, calling for their sacking and calling for nominations for their potential replacements.

My vote for club Prez is Barack Hussein Obama as he often likes to quote MLK's rathe famous line 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice'. After 6 of the most miserable seasons imaginable we sure know about the long, slow wait.

Maybe Neeldy should pull that one at the Presser this week? Could make for something different for the press to write about, and with Watts out they'll be struggling for a story.

But with what would you replace this thread?

But with what would you replace this thread?

A void

It's time for Garry Lyon to step-up!!!! Seriously!!!

If 'what's his name' can do it for Norf, then Garry can do it for us. He has all the required attributes; football savvy, speaking ability, respect of the football public, connections, a well paid job outside of football and most importantly, BALLS.

If he doesn't step out of the shadows soon, like his mate Jim did when the club was in desperate need, I personally will be signing him off as a downhill skier for ever. (a great player and leader on the football field for the MFC.....but off it....hmmmm.)

Personally I feel he owes the MFC because he has 'talked-it-up' over the years but has baulked at every opportunity to coach or get permanently involved but still claims to know what we need.

When we need a new President, Garry should be it.

Go Dees

 

You can just avoid reading the thread.

I was waiting for that.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

    The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

    An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

  • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

    Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
