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...

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.

and the rest chook...

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
