Provocative AFL Footy Show host Sam Newman is reportedly considering running for Melbourne Lord Mayor after the former one stood down amid sexual harassment allegations.

Newman has told News Corp he is considering a tilt at the job on a platform of getting rid of homelessness in the CBD, cleaning up graffiti and ignoring minority group agendas.

The Lord Mayor role is empty after Robert Doyle resigned while fighting allegations of sexual harassment.

Speaking to the Herald Sun, the controversial footy legend said he considered a run at the mayorship in 2016 but with Doyle stepping down this could be his chance.

The former Geelong Cats player said he admired Donald Trump and he would run to provide an alternative to politically correct agendas.

“We get bogged down with delusional psychotic anarchists who push all sorts of agendas because they have a point to plead and usually the general interest of the community is thrown under the bus,” he told the newspaper.

“I’m sure that the majority of people are worried about the homeless in the CBD, the graffiti, (and councils) using motorists as a tool to balance the budget.”

And to ensure there were no skeletons in his closet, Newman said he would seek to clear his name of any misconduct allegations before they surfaced against him.

“The first thing I’d do is invite anyone out there who thinks that I might have been part of some sexual harassment over my career to come forward before we embark on any public office,” he said.

“I’d be absolutely certain that no one would come forward."

Moreland City councillor Oscar Yildiz confirmed he would run for the top job, state Labor MP and former emergency services minister Jane Garrett said she had been approached to run, while acting Lord Mayor Arron Wood is yet to confirm if he would contest.
