Heard on 3AW this morning that Bev O'Connor wants to put her hand up for the BIG job at MFC ... the first female president in the AFL. There have been lots of rumors that Paul Gardner wants out.

Paul said last week on 3AW that he would be the President in 2008 but who knows after that.!!!!

Don't believe what you hear on 3AW. Mostly rubbish.

3AW rumor file has a high % of correct rumors.....let's just wait and see !!!!!

Bev's appeared to have done a good job on the board, but only those on the board would really know. If she gets the nod in the future then clearly she's impressed those who do the hard yards at that level. Contrary to some opinion, it's not all champers on match day.

Secondly, Max Walker would only ever be a figurehead president. Loyal servant etc and your proverbial top bloke but I doubt he'd bring the necessary smarts to the table.

I think Bev's seriously great, if she wants the Big job then I for one will be right behind her. B)

Im behind whatever melbourne want to do. They have so far made some great decisions...some of which called for a tough decision (ie TJ) but they are right on the money with the coach, changing the board, footy opps manager, assistant and ground coaches and the new facility. were heading in the right direction and if the board think Bev is the one for the job ill back em 100%

And what issue or contribution do you base that view on?

I'm not particularly AGAINST Bev getting the top job - - - but what's the background/experience that she would bring to the table that would qualify her for the job.

I know she's been on TV, but has she ever ran a business or made a squillion or invented something or whatever

Beverly O'connor is quoted in Sunday Herald Sun "they are dreaming" and "Paul Gardner has her full support". She felt football presidents today needed some independent means to afford the time while she was still out there making a living.

Bev is a team member and will do whatever is best for the club. She is right about having a life outside of football as being a board member doesn't pay the bill.

For those of you who are not aware being a board member is not a paid position.

I'm sure some people wouldn't have been aware.

And if the next award is for 'pointless sniping with little or no basis' you'll be up on stage next.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
