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.

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!)

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.

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.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
