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.

Partly answered your own question there. One of the reasons we have less money available for the FD is because it's all being eaten up by Cameron and his staff. It's also obvious that yesterday's l

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.

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? 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?

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.

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.

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?

Sorry, to clear up the confusion.

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

In this instance you should.

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!

x 1000 dont care who it is. This is a cancer that needs to be nipped right now.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
