With a president who thinks this way no wonder we are in the sheetenhouzen

We need a prez who bleeds red and blue

We need a prez who wants the DEMON logo to reign and not have players play like fuschias

Faarrk the people who are worried re the implecations of being a DEMON

We should play like demons

We need a prez who understands that political correctness is defined by the BBC show The Office

We need a prez who's message from above is NOT that there are more important things in life than football

We DON'T need a prez who thinks that football is a matter of life and death

Football is far more important than that

We need a PREZ who thinks the way we do

We are the DEMONS and if that is offensive to certain cultures then they can follow the hawks or whatever we don't need them

I think your name is very apt, and i'm guessing Gardner is the lamb...

PG hasn't been great but he has done some good things, put us on track as it were...

But with every administration in every walk of life, he doesn't want the criticism focussed on him.

His time is almost up and he will move on, and we will move on to the next saviour.

But unless Dick Pratt has a brother who is a Melbourne supporter, it doesn't matter who the Prez is.

We are going to need more sponsorship, less turnover (sorry DB is going nowhere), and improved performances (or a very promising display from a group of youngsters).

Untapped markets, new supporters... nah, we don't need them! :rolleyes:

I'm sorry to say it mate, but if football is the most important thing in your life, then I'm afraid you need to get some perspective. The Demonland members are at the more passionate end of the Melbourne supporter base, but honestly, let's remember that this is a game played for enjoyment of the participants and supporters alike. I bloody savor Melbourne's success, and I crave a that ultimate glory as much as anyone whose sat rain soaked in the outer at the MCG on a cold day in June. But life or death!? Passion, yes! But perspective, please!

You're asking for a president who simply has the best of intentions. Call me easy to please, but I'd be happy with business nous, corporate contacts, and something of a public profile.

In ten lines you mention the Demons logo three times. Right, I get it, you liked it. But let me tell you, the absence of the Demons logo is so far from the least of our issues, it's not even funny. And if you think the return of the demon face would lift our players to the heights of the 50's team, you're dreaming. Furthermore, if you think that Gardner doesn't bleed for this club or that he's somewhat happy with our flower-like performances, well, then I'm speechless.

Remember being the president is an unpaid position. You suggest Gardner isn't passionate, you imply that you are. Well then I ask, how many hours have you donated to the club you love in the past five years? More or less than Paul??

You suggest Gardner isn't passionate

No suggestion, I am stating it

It's a very unrewarding job being the prez of an unsuccessful club but the rot starts at the top

Any way onwards and upwards to the blue baggers

It's like the 70's, any win is like a finals victory

After a come from behind last minute goal for victory we'll all be in full voice, the whole twenty three of us

Too much sense wasted on far too little WM.

The thread's author's last line is the most disturbing.

Thanks Wrathchild for bringing us up to date on the latest cutting edge developments in executive recruitment.

It sounds like our ideal candidate is a Rambo | Bill Gates | Bruce Lee | Crusty Demons | Tom Sellek type

Please illuminate as to what exactly a Tater-tot is?

Or should we just cut to the chase and elect Harry Potter?

Anyone who doesn't think Paul Gardner is passionate about this club clearly knows nothing about him.

The man has sacrificed everything for our club, donated his time and money to help us despite having no support from his family.

Unless you actually know him personally I doubt you can judge his passion or dedication to this club.

I have what I wished for

Let's hope it's not a case of careful what you wish for you might get it

I emailed Jimmy 11 years ago and said he couldn't resign as he owed us a go at the grand final.

He's slow to respond but respond he did

Great stuff Jimmy now let's pull the finger out and get some success.

See you on Sunday at the Dome

Disgusting, ungrateful, misinformed.

The job is "unrewarding" because of amnesic nit-wits like you.

Perhaps the rot starts at the bottom?

No, it starts at the top

I'll accept nit-wit but what's amnesic refer to

Read the original post and you will see a cheek jutting away from the face with a tongue firmly implanted

Precious

Running a club such as ours is done with great sacrifice and good intentions, but good intentions and sacrifice don't always achive the desired result

Jim may or may not have the answers, but something had to happen, it's happened and let's all get on with it

I heard a jeer from a fellow Redleg on Monday calling Didak and accessory, funny

The fact is running my, our, football club is too important

The Melbourne Football Club is not bling. It shouldn't be used as and accessory either

No direct accusations just a lot of speculation

"Amnesic" refers to the club's situation in 2003.

Something had to be done? "something" (achieving the "desired result") has been getting done ever since 2003 - that's where the "ungrateful" bit comes from.

If you can't get your head around that then there is no point in me discussing it further. (cue: "misinformed" and "nitwit")

P.S. you say that Gardner has no passion but then you say that running the club requires "great sacrifice." Which is it?

P.P.S. Just who is using the club as an accessory?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
