Cameron Schwab use as a sacrifice to keep Tom Scully

The management of the Tom Scully situation is destroying this club.

Cam Schwab should be fired.

1. Borrowed 100K through the club (hmm, that's ethical)

2. Promised $1m to Scully ([censored] off every other player on our list and way above the odds)

3. Hired Todd Viney while our senior coach was on holiday - can't keep himself out of the FD.

I agree that CS has been a meddlesome [censored] when it comes to footy affairs and that loan was odd to say the least...

However, point 2 is BS - what Cameron very clumsily said was that we had the space to pay $1m but that we wouldn't break our wage structure because it would endanger the future. CS says here that "We assume that this group is going to be the group which is the Melbourne footy club team for the next decade or so, We've got to make sure we look after all of them."

The hiring of FD people (point 3) is in the domain of the CEO. It would have been best if Bailey was in Melbourne at the time, but I don't even think Viney was in Melbourne when he agreed to come...

    What a completely miserable disaster.

    Half the threads on DL right could be summed up in such a way.

    McClure said on 360 that Scully should not play out the rest of the season. I tend to agree with him.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
