While I’m here, when in Melbourne this week for the game, I managed to speak to an ex-professional Aussie player who told me that some bloke named Jeff Kennett was snooping around, and with the FFA staff all week, hounding them literally. The word is that Lowy is stepping down soon and that Kennett wants the FFA Presidency.

Hope not. People like him should stay out of football.

He is an AFL man but he did fix the Victorian economy after the mess left by Cain and Kirner. A very intelligent guy with vision for the future.

I'd like to see him on the FFA board actually but not as chairman.

I also remember him wanting to bid for the WC when he was premier.

He's always been supportive of football - when it suits him.

I think he's probably got his eye on the top job at the FFV, because it would appear that a lot of the football community here wants the current chairman out on his arse.

I think I can remember him appearing at a few South games back in the NSL whislt premier. He seems to have some
affection for the game. He's never blasted like many of his AFL contemporaries. He wrote a positive article about the sport just this week in the Herald Sun. Wouldn't be suprised to see him involved at some point in some capacity.

suited SMH when he gave them a brand new stadium.

For what it's worth, he was the first person of note to propose that Australia host the World Cup.
Has some Greek connections.

Nah......

If you've ever heard him speak in person you would know he's a very engaging, entertaining, humorous and intelligent person, add to that his obvious political nous (helped of course by the aforementioned qualities). Wouldn't be the worst person for the job.

Fuck you talk some shit :lol:

:) I wouldn't have posted it otherwise, you think I'm not capable of talking to Australian professional sportspeople???

It wouldn't be bad but I would hate to see his liberal approach to the game. No boat people allowed at games would kill Western Sydney.

The FFA is a big call but the FFV yes.

If JK was to become the head of FFV, he would certainly get that placed into gear. He gets stuff done and manages to do that often in ways that no one can agree with but still had a habit of making it work. Hard skill to master.

He also has a lot of clout still in this states political realm and he is a passionate supporter of our code.

We don't need Victorians near our national leadership.

jeff is alright but he'll end up being an autocratic person .

Don't reproduce, please.

Whereas Rudd would set up a HAL team in PNG.

Jeff needs to keep his nose out of shit that doesn't concern him . He also wants to be pres of Melbourne demons . He is a shit talker

Pretty sure he is a massive Hawks fan..?
