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

Hush little buttercup don't say a word mummy's gonna by you a mocking bird.

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.

Your easy to dump on, you cry over the same thread everyday, Jeffs in your brain box.

Does that mean Geoff will be Jeffed ?

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!

What part of you supports Kennett,? the sawdust between your ears.

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.

Posted

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?

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
