Cam Scwab was in the run home tonight with DR Turf and Francis Leach

great interview they gave him a good 10 minutes

main topic of conversation was the Darwin deal, Schwab was excited about potential of Darwin, think we will have good support with Jurrah and Davey and the other brothers in the team.

Luke Ball was bought up and the MFC are leaving him alone to think about his future. Ball's manager advised MfC not to bother him whilst on holidays, stressed again how much we want him and that we have a lot to offer

Most exciting part was the new jumper, being dark navy schwab spoke aout importance of the right colours how they mean so much to the MFC history.

He wanted to go back to the Barassi era with new jumper.

Said the MFC faithful will be really happy with it and it as close to the 50's colours as they could get

He also mentioned about how we lost a bit of heritage with the royal blue montrosity of the 80's and how we were reborn in 87 when we swithed to navy blue.

Schwab was part of the MFC in 87 and spoke fondly of the time It got me excited , as my first memories going to the finals with my dad in 87 as a 9 year old are still the best of my mfc life

Schwab is genuine in his love for the club and am so glad he is our CEO. The best move Jimmy and the MFC made in the last 40 years was to replace Mcnamee and headhunt Schwab.I feel great about the future, Melbourne people doing the best for the Melbourne Footy club it has been a long time coming.

I bought a new Jumper in '87 when i heard we were going back to the Dark blue.

That light blue jumper was hideous (no disrespects to the boys who wore it but it looked Horrible.

I can't wait to see this new jumper.

Schwabb is a Gun CEO. Bring on 2010

I think he's one of the few people who actually live up to a saying they like to use, I can't remember the exact words but it was along the lines of 'What we're doing isn't unique, but it is special'.

Sums up his whole attitude to managing the club - not looking for magic bullets and messiahs, just picking out all the things that need to be set right or done well, and doing them.

Would anyone else understand what I meant if I said that for the first time I can recall, it feels like we really have a CEO as a CEO, a president for a president, and a footy manager as footy manager?

As a club, we've never been better run. Ever.

hhhmm I find it interesting that we were told to stay away from Ball yet the Saints List Manager is over in New York talking with him now..

"Drain flew out of Melbourne Friday lunchtime, arrived in New York on Friday night, left New York for Dublin on Sunday night, arrived in Dublin on Monday and will fly back to New York on Tuesday night in anticipation of talking to Luke Ball, who is on holiday, about his future. "

the same reason j farmer did, MONEY.

How old are you 2? Seriously, Joe Gutnick sacked Schwabby as he felt he was keeping information away from the president.

He went to Fremantle because he was unemployed. He may have yellow and black bloodlines but he is a Demon. This is his 3rd stint at the club.

Business Challenge no doubt. Off Field that Club is Rocking have no fear.

I am also sure CS lwould have learnt a lot of new things that he can now Bring to the MFC, as can Chris Conolly.

He will Be a better CEO the second time around, & that doesn't mean he was bad at the first attempt.

Let's not forget though, that without Jimmy Stynes CS would not have taken the job...

I can only imagine what the mess was like 18 months ago!!!!

Luke Ball is still on St.kilda's list-They can do what they like.

We at the moment have to tread carefully. Poaching i think it's called....

Very much so. Still a delegation at the appropriate juncture would/might prove worthwhile. Leave all the paraphanalia at home and just go with the 'heart-felt ' simple-sell. Show him this is a club of passion and belief and "you can be part of it..its something very rare and special"; we're embarking on a journey through greatness to reward. :)

Scwabby has indeed been a revelation. He 'gets" this club. its a homecoming for him...not just a job.

I again hark back to the summit of last year... you could feel it it there...were on our way. Hes part of it.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
