Yes....suddenly Schwab changes mind....all a bit of a coincidence all this.. . That rat smell just wont go away.

I'd rather a crafty Fox than a "what am I thinking today " Schwab!!

I could have sworn I read reports last week that Cameron Schwab had ruled himself out for the new CEO job

You're not wrong - he did.

Hopefully we get the best man for the job. I'll feel slightly sorry for Schwab if he gets it, because even if he's the best candidate, some will feel it's not a position given on merit.

If Schwab wants it, it's hard to see how he won't get it.

IMO Fox is better suited for the job.

Lets hope it's not mates-rates hour at the MFC.

l reckon Fox will get it just to prove that its not a boys club

I heard an interview on SEN on Saturday where Schwab was under a lot of pressure from Robbo and co to confirm whether he would be putting in for the job.

He said his position is unchanged.

He is not quoted in the article, and all the recruiting guy is saying is that he is ‘available’ in that he is no longer working for an AFL club.

Unlike the Herald-Sun to take licence!

I am not convinced he will put himself up for the role. Afterall, there will be no shortage of jobs in the AFL. My sense is that he will end up at AFL house.

By the way, the only time we have looked like being any good in the past decades is when Schwab had an involvement.

Firstly when he was recruiting manager in the 80’s, and then when he was CEO in the late 90’s.

I just want the best person for the job. I heard Schwab speak on the weekend, he is a smart man. So is Stuart Fox obviously. When Schwab was with us what 10 years ago we seemed to be doing ok. Just get it right jimmy. Don't play favorites thinhk Hard headed Business. Stynes Has said He wants Melbourne to be "hated" again by opposition Supporters, Well first off, Go hard at getting the Best People.

There would be a lot of people out there relishing a Huge Challenge to get this club Firing again.

Would not be surprised if this just a matter of going through the motions by the board and Fox would be appointed to the position in the next couple of weeks, I also hope they do pick Fox because he has worked with the best in Cook and has seen how he helped reduced their debt I think was around 6mil at the time to what they are now, also I do think the AFL would not mind it as well, even though it annoys me to say it, but we do need their help at the moment.

How about an option for "I don't know their credentials well enough as i'm an outside supporter who doesn't know exactly what the club needs or wants, but will trust in the board's decision".

There could also be a second, but instead of trusting the board, it could read, "but i will make up my own mind and be critical of the board regardless."

This would show which fans don't know what's going on, from those that actually have a clue

this is basically "the i dont have a clue thread" but from our outsider point of you...who do u want to be ceo?

just getting an idea of what people want?

most people will agree with you that we dont have an idea but they would still probably have a preference

interesting the common worry it seems of melbourne making a "boys club"

fox is the man at the moment on this thread

Fox would have valuable experience having worked with the best in Cook.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
