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.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
