    Is someone who decided twice they didn't want the job the best possible candidate?

    Not at all IMO.

    No doubt the appointment will create an avalanche of consternation from those who aren't exactly his "mates".

    Hopefully, he'll do the job for us this time.

    OFF field all taking great shape.... just need ON field to do similar !!!!

    Bring on 2009

    No surprise. Absolute crock of shite. Stynes and his mates have had this up their sleeve for months. Bloody hell I hope they know what they are doing. This bloke has been in charge of the Tigers (enough said), sent us over the cap and Fremantle are the whipping boy of the competition. Don't be fooled by the change in financial position for Freo. Anyone could turn a football club around in that economic climate. Cashed up companies looking for sponsorship and corporate entertainment.

    You mean Stynes and the AFL.

    This bloody great reunion is our last chance to dance.

    We will not survive if this administration can't turn things around.

    All I can do is support this appointment, donate my dollars, remain positive and keep vocal.

    C'mon Dees (past and present players!)

    I agree.

    If this ensures the club becomes all the best of chums (cronyism, single agenda) with all of the boys able to, single mindedly, sail into that uncharted territory of financial security, navigating the shoals to that promised land of multiple premierships, then I’m fully supportive.

    No life boats on this trip my Demon friends.

    Therein may lie a future problem. There is nothing wrong with differing opinions.

    Totally agree. Whether or not it is true Schwabs appointment will always be subject to the inference that it was the plan all along!

    Regardless, we can all only hope the new group make the right decisions as this is last chance to save the MFC as we know it!

    Looks like MATES of MELBOURNE was more than just a networking idea set-up by Connolly, Stynes and Lyon. It is the ethos of what once was a great club. Watch out for Grinter to get a role at the club ASAP. I am not joking.

    Well..its done..lets get on with things. ...SPONSORS come to mind. Off you go Scwabby !!

    yeah frank you're spot on, let's bring back gardner, $5m debt, 16th on the ladder and no home ground over a 5 year period. get a clue frank, stynes undoing the uselessness of the previous administration.

    enlighten us about the ethos of what was once a great club. which era are you talking about? the 60's maybe.

    the stynes board since coming to power up almost $3m how does that compare to gardner and co?

    Grinter was a runner for about six years until 2006.

    So he had a role at the club before this 'cabal' was formed. Thankyou for the clarification of your post at the end, I knew you weren't joking, you weren't making any sense but you weren't joking.

    BTW, of your previous post - Freo right now is in the strongest position it has ever been so maybe you should build your argument around the facts not the other way 'round.

    Relax mate, i think it's time we left the new set up to get on with it, we all support Jimmy raising $2m plus last month, but now you second guess an appointment that is crucial to the club, lets give it time.. ..

    embrace the change or be constructive.. we are all in it together!

    The whole process has been a concern, but I am happy with the end result. We were targetting a football person and a football person we got. I would have preferred fox but

    The worst case scenario from here is that he leaves within 6 months. We need an administration that can stay out of the news for a while.

    Whatever your feelings on the appointment I think it is important that we get everyone behind him.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
