CAMERON Schwab has firmed as Melbourne's next chief executive after the Demons were informed yesterday that Geelong chief operating officer Stuart Fox would not be applying for the job. Fox, who was on a short list of three for the vacant Melbourne position - the others being Schwab and Hawthorn chief operating officer Terry Dillon - informed the headhunting firm charged with recommending candidates on Sunday night that he was out of the picture.

disappointing Fox has withdrawn... I think the club should really pursue him harder if they think he is the man... really make him think about withdrawing his application...

    Schwab still doesn't seem interested is the issue, it is fine to want someone but if they have given it no thought they don't want to do it...

    Also from the article:

    "Yesterday he reiterated those comments and said: "I haven't given it any thought. I need some clear time to weigh up what I do next, and whatever that role is, I want to focus on it for the next eight to 10 years." "

    Schwab became the favourite for the CEO position weeks ago when Stynes publicly endorsed his application (e.g. here and here). The whole debacle is a bit "on the nose" if you ask me, and I don't mean in the betting sense.

    I understand people's reservations with Schwab. But do you think Jim and the new board would employ him if he wasn't the right man for the job?

    The question is, is Schwab the best man out there for the job? His lack of enthusiasm at this stage has me a little apprehenive about bringing him on board, he'd need to know that if he was to take this job, it would effectively be his life for a good 12 months while we stabalise the club.

    He is probably not expressing too much of an issue because there is a process to go through and the last thing the club wants is to look like it has skipped the process to emply one of Gary/Jim's mates. Hoping Greg Healy might become available as well.

    Wondering why Fox has withdrawn from applying. Fox must think Schwab must be a given IMO.

    I may be wrong, or a numbskull, but there are only three options for Cameron.

    1) Retire to a hobby farm and raise Angoras. (0%)

    2) Land a cushy job at the AFL. (45%)

    3) Stay in the cut and thrust and sharp end and get the adrenalin rush at Melbourne. (55%)

    4) Take a step back and become footy manager at Richmond

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
