The Age understands that Gardner, who took over as chairman in 2004, is planning to stand down at the end of the year and could be forced out beforehand.

While Samuel has little interest in the Melbourne presidency, there is no indication from Argus, despite his lifelong support of the club, that he has any interest in joining the Demons board.

well...

    I fear the situation will continue to fester in the upcoming days/weeks.

    Knowing a little bit about Gardner, I really can't see him being the cause of any fight.

    He'll go when he feels he needs to go, and he won't let his ego get in the way of the success of our club.

    I agree. I reckon if he is presented with a viable opposing ticket, he would leave without resistance.

    It's getting to a point now where I honestly can't see us surviving. They'll always be a Melbourne, but I can seriously see a completely new brand, team and direction. Much like how the Victoria Titans turned into the Victoria Giants in the NBL a few years ago, although that failed miserably.

    A trademark ( or so it seems to me ) of Gardners term so far is that when positions change and people come and go its done with minimum acrimony. I would imagine he would handle his own changeover similarly.

    Because every idiot with a newspaper column overreacts to some bad losses.

    our club is in crisis, the media is helping with some change that is needed for the good

    You're right. I just wonder how much of a difference it really makes to have the media on your back 24/7 look at that "we're worse than Fitzroy" thing that Carlton guy said. So what? Even if it's true, what good will it do to create a huge ruckus about it. The only thing I'm really concerned about is that the Media tends to exacerbate any infighting that may go on during situations like this - and that's the last thing a dying club like us needs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • 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.
