Dees coaching sub-committee: Garry Lyon (chair), President Jim Stynes, Vice Presidents Don McLardy and Guy Jalland and CEO Cameron Schwab.

Why is the CEO picking the coach?

Thoughts?

You'd think it would be wise to add an outsider with relevant experience.

Not an overly inspiring committee, IMO. Garry was always going to be on it, then you have the great man who is very ill, and a bunch of blokes with no football experience.

I suppose it just confirms that Garry will be calling the shots.

Why shouldn't the CEO be involved?

You have to pay the coach, don't you?

I'm pretty sure they'd have an idea of how much they are willing to spend don't you??

Why shouldn't the CEO be involved? Wasn't a major issue the Schwab was having to big an influence of the footy dept? Now he's picking the coach? Seems odd to me that's all.

Drake are getting involved.

Schwab has nearly the most experience in the whole league regarding recruiting- players & coaches.The very big surprise to me was not having Connolly.

I have no problem with Schwab helping to interview Coaches.

As long as G Lyon is there he will be on his best behavior i have no doubt.

 

Schwab as CEO should be on the panel to select the Coach.

He is only one voice in the process but needs to represent the appropriate commercial interests of the Club.

I would like a couple of independent consultants (experienced football backgrounds not currently involved at MFC) to sit in on the process.

With respect to Stynes condition, Lyon is the only onw there with football experience. JCB, if you can read tealeaves then it shouldn't really be a surprise that Connolly is not there.

Awesome - my first deleted comment!

Warning - don't speak out against Schwab.

Any [censored] wonder this club is in disarray.

You have been given fair reason why it was deleted. Be validly critical but do away with the name calling. And its got nothing to do with the Club.

Don't you put that evil on Demonland, Ricky Bobby!!

Seriously though, the club being in disarray has very little to do with Moderators deleting vitriolic posts about Cam Schwab on Demonland...

I think we should have a representative on the Coaching Sub Committee.

After all, we are clearly all die hard fans. Plus we would really appreciate all the inside info.

I nominate Whispering Jack. Rhino, maybe you should tag along as well, just in case anyone gets out of line.

Malthouse or Mathews, whoever wants it more. We still have a very very promising list.

The only problem I see is that the people that made the last decision are going to make this one as well.

Agree 100%. Why do we need both vice-presidents? Would much rather a former player (David neitz) and an independent (Leigh Matthews?).

There is a real sense of "we can do it all ourselves". I love Garry and Jim, but seriously concerned about this.

Schwab as CEO must be there.

The Head Coach needs to be suitable to All Facets of the club. To present as the Face of the club & to also be the Media front man, and of course needs to be able to Manage the whole onfield side of things.

You'd think that with getting such things in place as Debt crunching, Performance based contracts & collecting sponsors, as well as some negative speculation, that the CEO would also want to be seen to be having a say in the future direction, re the New Coach. I'd say he's earnt that, as well.

Schwab has nearly the most experience in the whole league regarding recruiting- players & coaches.The very big surprise to me was not having Connolly.

Hmmn, your right JCB, Recruiting is probably Cams greatest strength. He has many, but he does well getting good people.

Lets have a look at the 5 man team the Bulldogs put together.

Simon Garlick - CEO (Chair)

James Fantasia - Football operations manager

Geoff Walsh - Board member

Chris Grant - Former Club Champion

Tom Harley - Independent

Agree 100%. Why do we need both vice-presidents? Would much rather a former player (David neitz) and an independent (Leigh Matthews?).

There is a real sense of "we can do it all ourselves". I love Garry and Jim, but seriously concerned about this.

Schwab as CEO must be there.

So out of the current board you would only have a person who is doing a gratuity fill in role (Lyon) for someone who is possibly terminally ill, recently in hospital and unable to operate functionally in role??? You have to be seriously joking. Of course at least two board members should and must be present on the selection of one of the most important, highly paid and high profile roles in the Club.

I cant see the value in having a former player like Neitz involved. He could not work out at time why ND was sacked. And given the love from the players for the past coach apart from the legacy of the culture we are trying to change I dont see any value Neitz brings. I have no issue with having independents (possibly two) who may participate in the process and provide recommendation to the Board. But ultimately the Board should decide.

This about sums it up for me too. The lack of an independent is an issue. Laughable that anyone thinks the CEO doesn't belong on the panel.

We dont need a coaching committee. Between the journos and the 'experts' here, the coach is already selected ! :)

Seriously - good luck, fellas. Build a great position description, then the perfect person description, and then find your man (or woman) that fits the bill.

Rhino, give me a break.

You are critical without providing any real substance. You say I am seriously joking because I consider 3 board members (not including Lyon who is liasing with the Board) and the CEO to be heavy handed.

Then you go on to say there should be at least two board members (there is currently 3 mate, 4 including the interim football director) and you wouldn't mind a couple independents.

So what you are really saying is, Gouga I agree with you, but I am going to have a dig anyway?

Pathetic.

For the record, my preferred board would committee would be:

- Lyon

- Stynes (or McLardy if required due to Stynes medical requirements)

- Schwab

- A recently retired player such as a Neitz (it doesn't have to be him)

- An independent, such as Leigh Matthews who knows just a little bit about what makes a good coach

Also re your comment about Neitz not working out why Daniher was sacked? What is wrong with the captain not supporting the sacking of his own coach? This is a totally different situation. Neitz is three years removed from the game. Totally, totally different.

Also, while I am it. Your comment that the Board should decide is correct. The Board will decide, once the sub-committee makes its recommendation.

It is not common in business for the Board to do the leg work before. 1 or 2 board members is fine. 3 or 4 is excessive.

  • 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.
