Mike Sheahan for president?

Featured Replies

I can just see him in board meetings continually looking left and right. Yeah, let's get him. [censored], let's also get Patrick Smith.

And that Denham bloke!!!

 

How bout Greg Denham?? Ok ok...just kidding. David King then? He at least called the appointment of Neeld a disaster in the making very early! Anyone?

Where did you arrive at Mike Sheahan?

Mike Sheahan is a MFC member ( or used to be ) as I went in on the tram with him to an AGM. Think I would prefer Kennett as the high-profile President but I like the idea of Mike on the board.

I'd rather he just stayed on the couch


I thought he came back but im pretty sure im wrong.

I dont see how anyone can make a difference, the preisdent cant make the list play better everyone thinks that maybe jeff developed buddy roughy hodgy. Luck and good recruiting is the only way the list can improve, I think u will find that pederson will be a good pick up I cant fault his game yesterday, roden is good value as a role model for Dom barry, and he is a good trainer.

ITs the C0ACH

That is exactly what they said about Daniher and Bailey as well and changing them did not bring success. When does it become the playing list?

Ok jokes aside but what about Glenn Lovett? Is a very and I mean very successful businessman and had a lot of passion for the Dees.

Glenn might have a bit of trouble sitting in the President's chair at Board meetings. He lives in London.


STRIKE ME PINK! (said in my best Alf Stewart voice) Are people serious? Mike Sheahan as president? Has he ever run a business before or NPO? David Schwarz has also been mentioned here as presidential material and as much as I like his passion, he clearly doesn't have the credentials. Mike Sheahan has even bloody less credentials. Are we that bereft of ideas and so obsessed with personalities and celebrities that we are willing to have anyone on the board so long as they have a media profile? Why not run it as a reality TV show? Melbourne Demons Survivor starring Garry Lyon, David Schwarz, Derryn Hinch, Mike Sheahan, Greggy Evans and Mal Walden. All six get locked into a radio studio with ample food, water and sanitation and the one who can provide the most media friendly soundbites to the members of Demonland gets elected president.

Get serious. It's our obsession with personality and a 'savior' that allows a nimrod like Kennett to stick his bonce into our club politics. While I'm not happy with what's going on on the field, we at least seem to have a tentative path forward in fixing our FD and board up. However, like a cat distracted by a laser pointer, we forget all that when the chance to rub shoulders with a celebrity comes up. Stuff process. Jeff is here to turn things around. Or maybe we can get Mike Sheahan on board? How about getting f***ing Fat Cat out of retirement to lead the board? He should be popular with the youth demographic we need.
Rant off.

Russell Howcroft?

Hamish Blake. He is a Dees supporter and then at least we would all get a laugh at meetings and if he called a press conference.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
