Jimmy Stynes

If, as is rumoured ,Jimmy Stynes does in fact take over the helm at Melbourne, what positives do you believe he will bring to the role?

I would say the best thing he will instantly bring the club is a more public profile. Presidents these days are more and more in the public eye with the like of McGuire & Kennett, Stynes has a far larger public profile then Gardiner as a former AFL champion, Brownlow medalist and being among the first players to sucessfully come over from Ireland.

This is something we're crying out for, we need a strong figurehead if we're to rebuild our public image and Jimmy is our man.

Stynes is also highly regarded amongst many for his charity work. This can bring a lot of positive attention to the club as well

I would prefer it if Stynes was given the position. we don't need any more off field drama distracting the club

On TFS last night Lyon mentioned a peacefull takeover after the 150th celebrations in June. From previous statements i've heard from Gardener i dont think he would try to oppose it.

How many current AFL Football Club Presidents have played football for the club they represent?

Does anyone know if he would do the job full-time if he was to take over? We definitely need that.
