Is he watching Melb play rpfc?

No he is reacting to the swarming masses of MFC supporters who wanted the AFL to intervene and a few weeks after they did intervene by parachuting a CEO into the place the swarming masses are hoping for Kennett to intervene...

    The AFL have stepped in.

    I rest my case. You want the AFL to do all the work.

    It won't happen, they will assist but we must assemble a board to take this club where it has always feared. Total Professionalism which it has never grasped properly.

    That does not mean merging or relocation.

    We need to become the MOST Melbourne club in this city. Open a Demon shop at Tullamarine and Avalon in time. Get in peoples faces in THIS CITY. JGK might just do that.

    Alan Stockdale has arisen as a possible candidate for President or the board. He is a Melbourne supporter, with serious experience. The article indicates he has been approached, but doesn't indicate whether he has been approached by the current board or if he has been approached by disgruntled supporters.

    Like Ian Robson and Ian Dicker fixed the Hawks (not Kennett) so too did Stockdale as Victorian Treasurer - kennett was a sideshow.

    I briefed him perosnally once in the late 90"s about an issue and found him astute, smart and scary. Would love to see him run the show. As a speaker he holds an audience really well.

    Jackson is assembling a Board.

    If Kennett is in it - I owe you a coke.

    And now I rest my case.

    Adjourned.

    Jacksons job is to refurbish the business ahead of a new board. Its not really up to him to select it, its upon him most likely to report back to Vlad as to the state of affairs and who's canvassing etc.

    In reality RPFC , your goodself knows as much as the rest of us ( i.e nada ) as to the makeup of that board.

    No one's ruled in or out yet, as very few cards have been shown let alone played. Whilst its true certain factions would probably rather that particular persons arent included in any considerations. Footy is a bit like its cousin politics, it aint over before its over, especially as is hasnt really even started yet !!!

    It turns out that I was on the money with how the new Board will be installed. They will be casual vacancy appointments in the next few weeks as Jackson said in the presser, and while he said the members will have the ultimate say, I am not certain that 'ultimate say' will involve a universal election of the Board at the end of the year.

    No objections to Stockdale-as long as he doesn't have Kennett involved .

    Two big differences-he's not a complete [censored] ,and he has a magnificent set of eyebrows ,which is a pre-requisite for anyone in a position of power .

    Except for Julia ?? Just Saying :)

    I think PJ will search for an appropriate candidate, with the help of the AFL. He knows how they work and the type of President would be right. After all the AFL will be closely monitoring any selections.

    I believe that the appointment of PJ is as close as being put under an administrator as you can get without calling it that.

    Chris Kelleher. Managing director of IOOF, finance firm. See herald sun article where he is rumored as a front man by a group of 90's players including Ox.

    Another successful businessman no doubt but once again I say show me the ticket he's running with, it's football knowledge and long term commitment.

    Graeme Samuel's name getting a mention on Facebook. Yes I know, I referenced Facebook.

    Please not Graeme Samuel! I don't care if the AFL don't want Kennett; their opposition should be construed as au badge of honour!

    Yes, a frustrated group of supporters going to the club and not the papers.

    Again, we have plenty of people willing to help - we are just doing it methodically and without the need for public bashings of each other and the club.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
