Cam Schwab

Anyone else curious as to what's happened to Cam Schwab?

He was a dedicated user of social media to keep in touch with the members and supporters and has disappeared since the Caro Wilson article said he was under the pump.

Are we to guess that he's been gagged by the Board?

Or does he have nothing to say about not re signing Scully, possibly losing Morton for nothing to gold coast in the pre season draft or nothing to say about his faith in baileys coaching?

Would expect greater leadership in the difficult times from the CEO and not to hide under his desk.

Cam, I know you visit this site, show leadership, provide the vision for MFC and don't disappear during the tough times.

Not gagged by the board, but it was reported that there has been a decisive shift to promoting Bailey and the team on-field, rather than the club off-field.

I thought this was common knowledge.

CS would be shying away from excessive use of twitter to avoid the perception that he was trying to undermine Bailey's wish to have the team be the focus.

Fair enough, when you know what Caroline Wilson is like...

You're very accommodating of all the Melbourne people aren't you. Are you pushing an agenda for someone?

Was wondering the same thing myself. No whiteboard Wednesday either.

Yes the last whiteboard Wednesday spent a lot if time talking about Michael Malthouse.

Since then not a word...Probably means nothing, but i have wondered about that point since the vid came out.

I think Cameron has been great for our "new" club btw.

It's an odd sort of 3rd post, for a beginner, starting off with a bit of an obscure thread, from left field? Can Play?

Glad he's not twittering. He's a smart bloke doing a good job, and maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to take anyone seriously who wastes their time on twitter.

Even if he is using it as a way of corresponding with the very large number of Demon fans on there?

I s'pose you also think that Smoron & Eade @ the Doggies, & Greg Westaway / Ross Lyon, have failed @ the Saints as well?

I do .

Tho' I do dip me lid to Smorgan as he kept the Dogs alive .

This is the AFL , success means Flags .

Some would say this.. but some could also provide the notes that he and CC also failed at Fremantle.

CC may have not done the best job as coach but CS certainly did a great job for Freo his record speaks for itself. No matter how the on field form was like CS took a financial basket case of a club and made it profitable in a short period of time.

Been on Demonology for years, and read on here everyday. However only post when I truly am concerned about something. And I truly believe Schwab has been good for MFC but he's gone missing of late when the heat is on.

One of his last tweets was he was certain we'd reach 40000 members. Well we going to be about 4000 short of that so our revenue budget will be short by about $450,000. Wonder if he is still projecting a profit? Also, I believe he should be updating members again re Scully.

Their target and what they actually budgeted for could be to different things.

Well on cue Cam Schwab was on SEN this morning, unfortunately for him fielding basically all questions Scully related (nothing new, apparently the Ox is 98% sure he's gone) so you could sense the frustration in his voice as he kept to basically the same lines we always have, "our policy is not to play contracts out in the media", "Tom's a fine young man who will make his decision in due coarse" blah, blah, blah....

According to Don McLardy in preseason we budgeted for 35,000 members, which we have exceeded.

No issues there.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
