Kennett future MelbourneFC President?

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Easy to overlook Kennett due to the silly things that he says in the media.

But here is a bloke who has actually goverened the state, previously been involved at a successful football club.

Kennett shouldn't be easily dismissed as some will do on this board.

Kennett is an option and it's refreshing to know that the club is looking at these types of candidates.

So many red raggers in Victoria.

Clueless.

Come on BH. Let's have a sing along to ease the tension!

Anyone know kumbiya?

Nah, I prefer the anthems of godless, repressive regimes that are out to steal your freedom. There are thousands just like us floating around in this vast nightmarish wasteland of university professors, museums and people who recycle known as Victoria. Oh for the good old days of Terra nullius and Joh Bjelke Petersen!

WHAT THE ****. We’re in a hole right now and yeah it hurts, **** it hurts, but geez let’s get keep our heads screwed on. Germany was in a bit of strife after the First World War too.

So, what do we know?

• When it comes to Melbourne, we know from what he’s said over the last few years that deep down in his heart he doesn’t give two ***** about us and would be happy to see us ****** with or involved in a merger with another club.
• When it comes to Hawthorn, his love and passion, that he would rather have seen them merge.

He could be the best administrator/figurehead/orator/motivator in the entire world, but if he’d be open to his own club merging, let alone one that he doesn’t give two ***** about, then why the **** would anyone want to let him anywhere near our club? I’d deny his application for a job as an admin clerk on that basis and we’re talking about him running the place.

[Tricky 341]

Please keep your politics out of this. I expect many of the 'leftists' you see all about you would prefer Stockdale to Kennett even though Stockdale is more of a silvertail than Kennett. Why? Because he is a successful man who supports the Demons and hasn't called for our merger with North within the last 13 months.

Kennett may be the dynamo to save us as some here argue, but I still say, why take the risk of trusting him. If there is any doubt, find someone else with the right skills, eg Stockdale perhaps, though I expect there are plenty out there we just don't know about. We didn't know the names of president's of many top sides before they took the job. So the MFC may have similar potential presidents in the wings.

Agree.

Save the Hun style debate for the Andrew Bolt Column.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,343]

One Government bankrupts the state, so the next Government is forced to make tough and unpopular decisions. Little wonder there's some that bleat and moan.

Ingrate.

Just like the MFC relying on supporter donations and handouts from the AFL, selling off public assets under the guise of neoliberalism is an unsustainable business model. When the Libs get back in nex time there'll be nothing left to sell off.

He advocated Hawthorn should merge with us in 1996 but that didn't stop the Hawks from having him as President.

[baysidedave 246]

He would upset some people, but would also make the club better

. he's a bloody Hawthorn supporter why the hell would we want him at Melbourne. He would probably try to get us to Canberra or Darwin or Cairns. He wouldn't go Tassie because his beloved hawks are there.

[Mongrel Dee 56]

Jeff is a [censored] who loves the sound of his own voice and his own ideas.

F*** off Jeff

This attitude is really starting to jack me off! We are a basket case and not in a position to tell people to F off.

A lot of MFC supporters are just P/Weak and dust collectors who are against change. FFS serious change is needed here.

we know we need change but we don't need Hawthorn supporter as 'el presidenti'

Based on that logic you should be moving Peter Jackson on quick smart.

Why not? Evidence please

Anyhow-we dont need change for the sake of it.

Neil Mitchell, Jeff , 693am.

Not exactly high rating stuff.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Still dreaming of Elsternwick DL....??

i live 5 minutes from there....it won't happen...there is no parking, it's on a highway...nobody stops...

Truly. i go past that pub every day for work...it's dead.

no, anything to get a Training Facility & Social Hub started... you helped me realise that we need to be outside the 'G' so we can not only watch training,, but also for after matches,, & watching Interstate games there.

.. so Richmond it needs to be... I take it you wouldn't attend by your tone?

I think years ago some were looking at the caulfield racecourse to setup a football training venture & social centre.

But that was way before the Olympic Park precinct presented itself around the time of the Gabriel Zondy - Paul Gardiner Boards... we lacked Entrepreneurs.

I sense you don not think we can win back more grass roots supporters with a Social Facility at our training ground.... but its the grass roots end of our supporter base which isn't growing, no?

[rjay 25,157]

Jackson is here to change the football club, bringing Jeff in will only conflict with what is already in the works. Just let Jackson do his job, we don't need a high profile loose canon for a president, we need an effective one.

[Mongrel Dee 56]

That's the word, serious...not circus.

That's what we have now. But hey, let's keep our wonderful culture of losing

it isn't the club,,,, its a group of disgruntled supporters going around the club.. trying to stir up a mutiny to get what they've been planning for months... don't you see where most of the negativity has been sprouted from? its been going on for ages.

sprouted roots last year.

You don't replace one circus with another, change is happening now...let it happen.

The ringmaster CS has gone and Lyon has been marginalised, the club is moving on.

If Roy Morgan conducted a poll of supporters I am pretty sure you will get a surprise. It's more than a handful of disgruntled supporters.

This is a tsunami heading towards the board.

& all with 72 posts to their avatars, is that 72 posts on all their 25 different avatars?

why can't people just be upfront,,, & use their main avatar all the time, instead of hiding behind others?

If they hadn't gone out there wouldn't need to be.

Yes it seems to be, or at least they are the loudest and change must and will happen but not this one.

Jeff essentially is in this for Jeff and he is a publicity [censored]. Compare him with another premier who served just as long as he did, Steve Bracks. Do you hear Bracksy on the radio shooting his mouth off about this that and the other?
