Of course. I won't be seen at the club or have any dealings with the current administration.

So who are you gunning for? What are the issues you'd like to see resolved with the current admin?

 

From the MFC Twitter "Melbourne has raised $758,901 at its annual Foundation Heroes event at Myer Mural Hall - an outstanding effort by the red and blue faithful".

Well done

He has his reasons rightly or wrongly. He doesn't need to elaborate.

Honestly... Either provide some information, or stay quiet. Stirring like this just adds to the already abundant negativity around here.

Awesome result! So what is this money going to be used for, and how many times can we keep going back to the well?

That's garbage Tweed Pig.

What the hell was the point of saying anything if he was going to say nothing?

He does need to elaborate otherwise should of said nothing.

The negativity is there for a reason.

I'm not going to reveal anything else. Things will come out if G.Lyon does his job and I'd say Schwab will be the first to go.

I'm sure it is, but why perpetuate it while inferring you know more than we do? Especially on one of the better days the MFC has had for a few weeks.

Just throwing out bait and hoping to get some bites! Here comes another 10+ page thread!

You talking bout the $80,000 desk you mentioned in that thread; I doubt that's true I think it was a report that cost $80,000 that was put under Scwabs desk?

Where in the f*** would you buy an $80,000 desk?

You have a decent point.

Something akin to grandstanding.. look at moi.

I know something you dont..etc etc.

blah blah

fair call OMR

Sorry to get this thread back on topic, but what was the go with tonight? Were all the players there?

Would seem strange if they were talking about Scully's future while he was there sitting in the audience. How convincing were the claims he would stay?

Thanks for the existing reports too guys! Sounds like a good night for the club.

My information is Schwab purchased a $80,000 desk in 1999. He was then sacked by Gutnick.

lol..the instructions on putting it together would be something else !

Sigh. I just decided what to do with my tax return. If things don't come together at the Demons, it won't be because I shirked my part.

written by shakespear himself no less. One of his lesser known peices.

An $80,000 desk? Did it come with it's own built-in Monica Lewinski?


Cannot say too much but Schwab's treatment of De La Rue has been terrible. The man came to the club when no one else would and has allowed the club to make exception's with the current deal. Schwab's primary aim is to line his own pockets and is going against what the football club stands for to do this.

This also extends to his treatment of Green, Moloney, Wonnaemirri, Bell, McDonald and Scully. Also the board for not recognising his mistakes and renewing his contract.

That's all. Goodnight.

Some fair allegations in there Dannyz

If true I understand your stance.

Exactly what where the specific treatment issue's with Green, Moloney, Wonna & Scully?

So you bring it up now 12 years later and after donating large sums of money and while he was there, hmmmm. Anyway where did he get the desk I want one?

I was told by someone in the "know" that De la Rue is the type to give cash but then wants to run the club, is that right?

The report you speak of, which too cost $80,000, was that of a consultant who was ultimately disregarded.

I was donating to the Melbourne Football Club, not it's CEO.

No. I think your referring to his complaints regarding the positioning of his companies image on the jumper. MFC broke the contract originally signed with Hankook which stated that Hankook's logo would be the only image represented on the left hand upper side of the jumper. De la Rue eventually let this go.

The figure was actually $800,000.00.

Yep and made it very clear, whilst wishing the club all the best and good luck with a new sponser, he wouldn't have anything more to do with the club (i assume from a corporate point of view) whilst the current administration was in place. I reckon SS Schwabb will quietly sail into the sunset over summer and that will be the last we will see of him in footy. Probably take deck hand connoly with him

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
