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.

he's a very smart businessman who has made a lot of money, l think you underestimate Max

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

You two legs arent related are you? <_<

Could be a long lost cousin.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
