Demons present case to AFL Commission Don McLardy will announce on Friday whether he plans to continue on as president of beleaguered AFL club Melbourne. Demons chief executive Peter Jackson fronted the AFL Commission on Friday morning in a bid to convince the league to provide extra funding to the struggling club who have won one game in 11 rounds and are widely reported to be considering sacking coach Mark Neeld. Neeld survived a recent board meeting with his job intact. But Jackson refused to give Neeld a vote of confidence on Friday, saying only that the board stuck by its previous statement that staff in the football department would be assessed on an ongoing basis. McLardy has been involved in a public slanging match with former Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett, who has flagged his interest in replacing McLardy as Melbourne president. "Well that's a matter for Don personally," Jackson told reporters on Friday when asked if McLardy would remain in the role. I think you'll find he'll make a statement later on today. It's not for me to pre-empt that. Quizzed on Neeld's coaching future, Jackson also failed to rule out a change. "I'm not saying anything about that because the statement that we put out at the last board meeting remains the same," Jackson said. What we're talking about to the commission today is a whole of club restructure. It's not about one individual. It's about rebuilding the club. Jackson said the Demons felt their submission to the commission went well and they would eagerly await a response in the coming weeks. "We got a great hearing, well over an hour," Jackson said. Jackson refused to give details on the submission. "That's a confidential matter," he said. It's a package of things we've asked for. It does involve developing our list. But it also involves restructuring the club. We got a good feeling from in there. It was positive. They understand the impact we're having on the whole competition at the moment.
