Schwab in the gun

If you believe the story, it looks like we are on the verge of major changes. Strap yourself in and hold on. It will be a very interesting off-season.

I must say I'm very surprised to hear this sort of chatter about Schwab, every time I hear him talk about the club it is with nothing but love and devotion to getting us back on top. He, along with Stynes, has been able to get us from being on the verge of death to out of debt and surely that is his job, if anything I would just tell him to keep out of the football department if there truely is a rift, and given his staunch support of Scully I'm a little shocked to hear him going could make a difference.

 

I have full faith in "staff writers" offering truthful information and I believe their every word.


Schwab wants Bailey gone from what im have heard but is on his own.

If we are going to have a messy offseason what do we call what is happening now.

Wish i knew how to hack phones like News Of The World.

I still love the club no really i do.

Schwab is too professional and ruthless for the other silver spooners in this club, players included. Pathetic. This club is a joke.

 

Listening to 3AW, Caroline Wilson has opened up stating she believes Cameron Schwab will leave the MFC today...

Believes there is a high level of unrest by the players with Cameron Schwab and to lesser extent Chris C

Senior players spoke to the board during the week. Made a comment that yesterday's performance was in a way a protest...


Schwab? Didn't this guy essentially re-create us? Re-create our brand? He can't face the sack. He has the passion and urgency that is severely lacking. He gave me faith that we were on the right track.

I put blame on the coaching staff, and the culture in general.

Well that's a f***ing disgrace if true (the protest part). I, along with 35,000 others pay good money to support this club and if they go out and deliberately don't give 100% then we all deserve a full refund.

Can someone explain to me why players would be so upset with Schwab anyway? He's the CEO, they kick a ball around. What's the link and what's he doing that has been so bad?

If only our senior players had that as an excuse.

What exactly has Schwabby done wrong ?? Has he actually called for the various components of this club to be accountable, in the same way he would be ??.

Players calling him to task?? thats laughable if true. Because so many have benn putting in 100% and ripping it up out there. Id be sacking players first..

This does not bode well if true....Not one little bit.

Something is very very wrong at Melbourne.

That is staggering if true.

If the players refused to turn up to play I then ask ... why should we turn up to watch them?

Tony Shaw and Robert Walls were shocked that such a thing could occur as would every other Melbourne person. She is reporting that all sorts of meetings involving Melbourne powerbrokers have been occuring in the last 12 hours.

I believe the link is that there have been misgivings about Cameron Schwab's heavy involvement in the actual playing football side of things.

Don't mean to put a TS comment in this thread, but just want to report Caroline's comments this morning on 3AW. She stated that Tom Scully would stay at the MFC if Cameron Schwab left.

If this is true that is an absolute disgrace. I am all for the leadership group having a voice but to bring the club into disrepute is beyond words. For the players to disrespect the jumper & loyal members of the club is an indictment on their character. In my opinion any player that has instigated this on field rebellion should never wear the red n blue ever again. I am shocked & utterly disgusted that the leadership group could put their selfish egos before the members of the club, the people who have kept this great club alive. Jim has an immense battle on his hands if these reports are true.

If that was true.. words could not describe how angry I'd be.

the day the players start thinking they rule the roost is the day its all over red rover !!

and if any player can be shown to have put on the brakes then they should be dropped for 3 weeks or so. No questions asked et. I dont care if we do get belted pillar to post as a result but NO player is ever to step foot on the fileld as a Demon and not put in 100%.

Im struggling to comes to terms with this notion.. Not only unpalatable but nauseating !!

I'm confused. Are you saying they told the board during the week that they would throw the game in protest? Surely not, so what are you saying?


...Senior players spoke to the board during the week. Made a comment that yesterday's performance was in a way a protest...

These senior players must be making protests every second week or so if you look at their efforts this year so far

I'm confused. Are you saying they told the board during the week that they would throw the game in protest? Surely not, so what are you saying?

Sorry, to clear up the confusion.

The players spoke to the board during the week.

Caroline Wilson then followed that statement by saying herself that in her opinion yesterday's performance by the players was in a way a protest of what is occuring at the club, but not related to the coach.

I will go as far as to say that whoever instigated this on-field 'protest' should be immediately sacked by the club, never to wear the red and blue again.

Get in there Jimmy and weed the ringleaders out!

In this instance you should.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
