The Photo tells it all....i hope Garry gets stuck right into Caroline Wilson next monday night.

That article is one of the cheapest shots i have seen thrown within the AFL.

Shame Caro Shame...I hate your Hair "Do" by the way.

Nice Post Cameron...

Is that you Caro? Your a naughty, naughty girl.

But his record does stand for its self ... looks bloody good ... Does that upset you?

PS I'm not Swabby you looney but thanks anyway.

But if he actually was being undermined by Bailey, that casts a somewhat different light on the "Bailey-as-martyr" tabloid schtick.

Shhhh! There's not supposed to be 2 sides with this!

The media have taken the Bailey-as-martyr angle.

Geez...

CS is just doing what he feels is best for the club ...

Like trying to have the coach sacked after the Bulldogs game?

He should stick to what he's good at ... management, finance, business. No doubting his passion for the club, but Dean had plenty of passion for the club as well and it didn't mean he was necessarily doing a good job.

If what is written in the Age today is true ...

Stop right there.

If you start believing everything that's in the papers, you'll do yourself an injury.

The journos may have contacts, may be "in the know", etc.

But their sources are sometimes (oftimes?) simply wrong. They get fed stories that are deliberately false, too, as part of third parties pushing their own various barrows.

You'll sleep better if you simply dismiss everything that's in the sports pages. Whether it turns out to be true or not, makes bugger-all difference to anything. For f's sake, it's written by people like Robbo!

Nice Post Cameron...

hangon007 being Cameron Schwab would explain quite a lot of the recent goings on at the club, actually...

Thank-you ... I can tell you for a FACT their are some teams in the AFL absolutely $hitting themselves about us.

i would be amazed if any club at the moment is $hitting themselves about the MFC with the state we are in at tghe moment

Caroline wilson is just one of a gazilion journalists covering AFL and to be honest there are probably about 60% too many. AFL and Victoria is not big enough for the vast number employed, to earn a living reporting the facts, so to gain and advantage or to keep a job they have to "speculate" and "assume" therefore you are always going to get a fair amount of rubbish and lies printed or reported.

If someone like Caro had no juicy bits of gossip for her column each week how long would she keep her job? If Craig Hutcheson had to rely on reporting the truth he'd be gone inside a week.

That article says nothing...Caro and the "Age" have an agenda against Schwab. Everyone has to lay down their cards and let it all out.

Away from the media.

A Footscray supporting friend thinks that Wilson has it in for Schwab and won't be happy until he's gone. And will do whatever it takes and roll anyone or anything (aka MFC) that gets in her way.

No doubt...the Schwab & Wilson's go right back to the 60's in the Richmond Power Days...

Your Footscray mates summation would not suprise me at all...take another look at the photo, that is an evil way to promote a CEO.

Let me just say I'm looking forward to next year seeing what a real coach can do with a list like ours.

One wonders if we as a club would not have been better off having 3 bullets in the gun

Bailey , Schwab and Connolly

At least you could get rid of a bad apple if that was the case

Ruthless i know but food for thought

Could still happen...Heard Dermott give CC a huge wrap tonight while he was at Hawthorn...so i am prepared to wait until everyone talks....says their bit. Then act.

If what is written in the Age today is true CS should just zip it up. Don't start knifeing people in the back because what goes around comes around. From one that is hanging by a thread it is not the time to be shoreing up support or maybe that is what you have been doing all along. Lets not be in the papers for our internal problems. Don't exascerbate the situation by blabbing to whom you may think are friendly because we have no friends out there. The Club has to close ranks at the moment and let Garry do his job and get it sorted. Closing ranks means getting rid of anyone who is leaking information and feeding the sharks out there.

I understand that you may be highly agitated but PLEASE use spell check. Or get your mother to vet your spelling and grammar

Agree. All that needed to be done straight away has been done. There's plenty more to be done for sure, but from now on it's vital to take care & get it right. Get everything right.

What state would that be? ohhhhhhh .... yes its the end of the world according to Caro ... hahahahahah ... dont think so baby.

Here we come and she knows it. The last 2-3 years for us has been amazing ...

Yeah if we had 3 bullets in the gun we would have stuck them all in 1 bloke exactly what we done ... thats football.

PS I'm not Swabby you looney but thanks anyway.

What record? He's been in the business for 25 years or so. None of his clubs have won a premiersip. Seems to me he's good at digging a club out of a hole but can't take the next step. Yet right now, as with the coach/playing group, the club needs to push on. History suggests he isn't the man.

We wouldn't have a club it wasn't for CS ... but thats another story isn't it.

1/ we would probably still be in debt

2/ we would still be living at the junction oval palace

3/ we would be losing bucket loads when we play at the MCG

4/ we would not be on the verge of signing a RECORD sponsorship deal

Give the bloke time ... give the bloke a break.

I'm not sure, it's the CEO job to win premierships? what's the next step for the CEO?

Chief, read my post again and apply some comprehension.

I'm not sure, it's the CEO job to win premierships? what's the next step for the CEO?

Great teams don't spring out of nowhere - a club needs to be well managed. The shenanigans of the past week suggest the opposite at Melbourne. Do you think Collingwood and Geelong are badly managed?

I think you are reaching here.

CEOs can't be judged on flags. Or finals appearances.

Collingwood have had their issues.

I am not pleased with how Schwab has handled himself but I am not following where you are coming from.

This is where I should be giving you a "scathing attack" ... but that will get either of us no where.

CS is just doing what he feels is best for the club ... give the bloke a break. You want passion, you want commitment we have it in spades with CS.

The Only "leaking information and feeding the sharks out there." are people who want to undermine our CEO. The very CEO who has assisted in bring us back from certain death. Look for the positives

1/ Our New facilities

2/ Our Debt Situation

3/ Our positive accumulation of more assets

4/ Our excellent media coverage ... they do say any publicity is better than no publicity

5/ We are on the brink of signing a record "sponsorship" deal

6/ White board Wednesday ... direct attempt to communicate with the "rank & file"

7/ 30+% growth in members

Geez give the bloke a break

I second this! lets not forget what the club was like in 2008????
