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.

    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.

    Bev is 'Peter Costello" - she will proceed when Paul calls it quits - I respect EACH of them ( Paul and Bev, that is ) - our club is in good hands.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
