I'm absolutely all for it. He's quoted as saying he wants to and I reckon it would be fantastic. The current longest serving Sydney President was once the President of West Coast. I don't care who

Kennett has just announced the names of two of his running mates, Attila the Hun and Benito Mussolini but i think it's a ploy to make his board look more moderate.

Very out spoken and is like Eddie in how he sells the club. Turned hawks into a powerhouse and is as passionate as they come.

Couldnt see it happening though.

Oh god no. 1) We may as well change our nickname to the Melbourne Liberals/Silvertails if that is the case. We will bring in another bloke who doesn't really support the club but we will get him because he is connected with the right people, went to all the right schools and attends all the right clubs. Stuff that. 2) Jeff was lucky to walk in to Hawthorn when he did. If he was the bloke leading operation payback, then the club would have folded by now. Dicker was the one who did the ground work to get Hawthorn where it is, Kennett merely profited from it (kind of the opposite of his relationship with Steve Bracks!) He isn't one to help heal broken relationships, he aggravates them. We are a club divided. The worst thing we can do now is bring in a divisive figure.

What a horrendous thing to even contemplate, let alone support. How many times has he gone on record berating the club, calling for mergers etc, Publicly smashes Clarkson after a loss, then apologises, putting it down to just venting "like a supporter". This amongst all the other garbled nonsense that comes out of his mouth these days. Sure, let's give that guy the keys.

Thats rubbish, Hawtorn are one of the most powerful footy clubs in the country, THANKS to Kennet, he's got ten lengths on the fools that are currently running the show at the moment, actually there not even in charge anymore, we could a lot worse, the guy that Kennet handed over the reigns to at the Hawks has received a gift, 60,000 members, powerful sponsors, Tasmania and a great footy side.

I disagree. When Kennett took over in 2005, while the team wasn't doing well on the field, the financial and membership base that has made them so strong had already been established by Ian Dicker. If Kennett were the man to lead the board after 1996, the Hawks would have imploded. They, like us now, had a lot of bruised egos and disenchanted club figures floating about and they needed a conciliatory figure. Kennett would have poured a jerry can on that bonfire. He was good in 'steady as she goes' times at Hawthorn as his knucklehead statements about the coach could slide. But for him to walk into a club like Melbourne would be flirting with disaster.

Mclardy was gifted a young exciting list on the rise,debt free club and increasing membership base and look where we are. Kennet came in with a young list on the rise and look where they are.

Its not hard to join the dots is it.

Wonderful move if it happens!!! People may not like Jeff but he delivers results, something this club has not done for many years. Mclardy is a goose and has no idea what he is doing. Along with Jeff along with Peter Jackson could turn this club around.

You are kidding??? So keep Mclardy in charge.. Pft... Jeff delivers resulst. I for one couldn't give 2 shits about his personality or what he has said in the past. This club is a basket case and someone like Jeff could turn it around.

So the only alternative to McLardy is Kennett?

I can't believe people are supporting this. Jesus Christ. We really are over a barrel.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
