I hate comments like the one you're referring to. It's so easy to anonymously pot a bloke like she did without anyone being able to verify the information. If I had the same types of experiences I may express reservations, but I wouldn't do it in the fashion the poster did. Although you'll always get others "liking" such comments because it merely endorses their own ill-informed view. Imo, all of the views about Kennett are either biased or ill-informed. Naturally, including mine.

in case you missed the tenet of the post...It was to suggest the original whack might want to be fleshed out...at elast some...at least in nature.. for the exact reason you allude to...annonymity together with grievance is not always the recipe for anything that ought to taken too seriously. He might be correct , he might not, he , like us all as you quite rightly mention have a bias, of one sort or another.

As the tone of many of the posts above support JGK seems to be either hated or loved. (Well maybe not loved) My point being that the last thing the MFC needs at the moment is such a devisive figure at the helm.

If he can turn the tide I think he will be more embraced don't you?

Sheedy, we passed him up 5 yrs ago, mistake in hindsight.

Kennett, are we going to overlook him too? Will we live to regret it???

Two of the biggest well known people in the state/ football.

One has a proven track record in football the other doesn't.

Hardly, I don't see anywhere that he is endorsed.

I think you will find a restructure of the board and probably a new president maybe as early as this weekend.

The Buddy Ball is AFL endorsed and he hasn't kicked any goals for a while either

'Kennett for president' is only slightly more sensible than the recent 'Tebow time' proposals.

Leigh 'retired from all coaching ten years ago and not at all interested' Matthews for coach was another chortler that got spun out by someone recently.

Who ARE these comedians coming up with this stuff?

So if Bozo the Clown (only marginally different to Kennett) offered his services, it should be taken seriously?

Kennett is a million to one chance. Forget him.

It is time to take on a completely fresh approach to fix something that has been broken for 50 years. If it takes non Melbourne supporters, like Jackson and Kennett to rebrand us, give us corporate governance, profile, gravitas, sponsorship, respect, even success (dare we dream) - then why not? We are severely lacking in all these areas. Kennett's performance on Footy Classified early this year was almost statesman like in its depth of understanding of the issues within the AFL and in his role at Beyond Blue similar understanding of the frailties of the human condition.

I have not watched footy classified since , he was a breathe of fresh air on there

It's a throwaway line referring to the fact that demetriou has backed jeff as a capable president for the dees

I'm certain that if Bozo the Clown were to run some would support him

James 1:5 , 6 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
