1. There are no mystery backers.

2. Failed to check the constitution before opening his big trap

3. Next AGM is due February 2014

4. Kennett will move onto some other project that he can milk publicity out of.

I agree. The headlining of Jeff is/has been Jeff's primary concern throughout this process.

Total rubbish from Kennett. Still won't name who's with him. Still can't say exactly what he wants to do to the club. Still hasn't explained why he's gone from wanting us to merge in April to wanting us to be a strong brand in June, aside from the obvious fact that he wants to stoke his ego by being President.

Go away Jeff.

If he had any backers then they have probably fled to talk to the club as all other Demons have been doing.

The AFL in conjunction with interested parties and those on the current Board can come toghether and have a Board that is connected and powerful and reflects the many interested and loyal Demons that are willing to help.

We have never needed a divisive election headlined by an outsider intent on applying blame, getting members mad about it, and riding in on those stirred emotions.

I think his talk of commissioners is different to what he first suggested when pushing to become President. I wonder if he appointed commissioners to run the councils who had a differing view point to him and his government as he suggests the AFL do, probably not but I do not mind the idea of a commission rather than a board until things are stabilised.

so he went to all the trouble of writing an open letter to MFC members, yet he still didn't tell us who is on his ticket?

He is wasting everyones time now

[censored] Jeff

I thought you and Jeff had a bit of a bromance happening? Such memorable quotes included:

  • "Id have Kennett in a heartbeat."
  • "In -... Jeff Kennett - President... That would be my dream"
  • "pretty sure that Kennett will be a Melbourne supporter as soon as he becomes president"
  • "I reckon he would comfortably win the vote."
  • "Kennett would never have copped that 500k fine if he was our president"
  • "anyone who actually thought Kennett was serious when he said we should merge with North must have rocks in their head" [my personal favourite]

Dont forget the quote where I said id need to see his ticket first.

Which he still hasn't shown. We literally do not know one persons name thats backing him.

Im starting to think hes full of [censored].

Unfortunately he is.

There are two things I think of in regards to Jeff

  1. Hubris
  2. Duct Tape

I am going to wait for the AFL reply....Part of me still believes a Jeff Kennett as President for 5 years is exactly what the MFC needs to wake itself up & join the modern world.

So many Melbourne (Good) people have come up short.

If it aint the Gibbster, who has the strength & presence to move the old girl.

Ah yes the great Inez and Charlie Foxx song.

If you wanted the lyrics correctly, they were in fact " hush little baby" not "buttercup"

And we all know your feelings about me but you insist on constantly following me around attempting to contort yourself into a position to dump on me.

Let the hate go, mjt.

Don't let it consume you.

I will be here for a while. I live here. I am Demonland!

There were some real politicians - Joe and Russ. Flo's scones, bags full of cash and , of course, memory lapses. Where did those bags come from? Politicians today are a dull lot!

Or is Jeff just Jeffing us all for his mate?

[censored] off Jeff!

They're playing games with us. We know that Jeff was in contact with Stockdale about the board ... & we know that Stockdale is said to be busy with the federal election, & people said a week ago he was unwilling to do anything until September was out of the way.

I always wondered why Jeff wanted onboard, & then heard about Stockdale & the strategy is possibly scene, timing & charades ... a tactic to allow Stockdale to both run the election & the board @ Melbourne?

Is Jeff just shopfront that will pullout when the time is right?

Jeff, show us the messages from the AFL, or don't they exist?

I haven't often agreed with you dee-luded but you can go straight to the top of the class on this one. It's been floating around for a couple of weeks now and it's exactly the sort of underhanded political gamesmanship that isn't needed at our club right now. I'm sick and tired of these divisive political types who work together chipping away undermining others, then conveniently make their play for power when the time is right for them.

Heard on the radio this morning that Mike Fitzpatrick has written to Jeff telling him "thanks for your offer, but your services aren't required', bit strange that the AFL could tell a member of the MFC that they couldn't run for the position of President.

Does that confirm that we are effectively in AFL controlled Administration?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
