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.!!!!

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.

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
