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disappointing Fox has withdrawn...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.

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%)

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
