I would have to play that down after he was named on the 'let's poach a coach' committee.

Is it no entirely possible its simply that the CEO might be on that committee as an auto selection ? i.e not dependent on him being there, but if he is then hes on the panel, if not him then the next one, if on board in time.

May be nothing to read into it at all.

Where was it reported? Who is the source of this information?

Tonights 10 news during the sports report.

Don't recall the reporter, but in amidst discussion on the Ross Lyon to Melb story.

Said that another big name was set to leave, with Schwab to go upon securing a new job.

I wouldn't have thought so.

If Cam is going to leave, I'm sure he'll get all the things he wants to get sorted done first. Like important contracts and Sponsor Issues, as well as being present when his hard work is realised, through naming his sponsors and Coaches etc.

Hi Peter. I'm not wanting to be an English teacher, but do I interpret the above as

Heard from somone in the Coterie that Schwab is gone (sacked?) because he hired mates for 300k+ (nepotism), and that Connolly is also on his way out of the club (is he caught up in Schwab's actions??). I hope this is a fair reading of your post.

This is disturbing if true. Nepotistic choices where the personal interests are put above the interests of the club should be severely dealt with

Typing on an ipad is terrible while trying to eat! Had to get it done before the city loop! Hope it's not true, just what I heard.

Heard from someone in Cotore Schwabb gone from hiring his mates on 300k a year and Connolly might be too.

Interesting. Schwab seemed to be doing a good job off the field - something like that would explain his fall from grace.

Have heard many stories that Connolly's aggressive mouth has caused a lot of friction with the players. It always seemed strange that after missing out on the coaching job to Bailey he was elevated to Operations Manager. Never appeared suited to a behind-the-scenes admin position. If we are build a new culture under a new coach, then surely he has to go as well

Yes, and No.

If we look back we can see that Connolls was very happy and supportive with the way we were going, for the first 2 years or so.

After that I must admit I felt some tension in the AIR, between Connolls and the coach. Had heard the rumors and instantly thought that Connolls must be getting jealous. I now think I was wrong...

I have been worried about our lack of aggression myself for some a year or 2,,, but trusted in the system we had in place that they would address the Issue in good time.

IMO, in Hindsight, this is where the Friction was coming from, that we can now see that the Old Guard were also collectively concerned about our lack of grunt & aggression, and our lack of accountability.

No heavy tackles, etc...

Now we can see the direction we're taking onfield since the changes... Playing with aggression is a priority, and earning our AFL stripes through putting the Head down and running straight lines at the ball and ballcarrier, is a Must...

I think I can see Now what was going on, and I think slowly we'll see things settling down.

There's been too much antsy footy played, with players getting games for 'Dancing',,,, Rather than Playing the Game. We need Men running around, not 'Nureyev'.

Of course he should be involved. As it stands Cam is the MFC CEO and any appointment of a coach will ultimately report to the CEO. He has to be involved.

If and i say a big IF, he is about to leave, i see no point in Cameron being on the selection committee for a new coach.

But of course if he is staying for the intended 12 months, then by all means select a new coach.

Rubbish. No ifs if he is CEO then he should be there to exercise his duties.

Unless he resigns he is the CEO and he should be on the selection committee.

I am more interested in the Source Information, and where that came from.

Irrelevant. And you werent interested in that before you stated he should not pick the coach. Its unlike you to get sucked in by rumours. :rolleyes: If he is the CEO he stays on the coaching sub committee. Basic common sense.

Your always playing devils advocate, it's really boring.

If Schwab is off shortly, why would he be on the selection panel? It will have nothing to with him ultimately.

Are you unable to see that this is just a rumour at this time?

Or that, even if Schwab is not CEO, we will have someone filling that role, and the CEO should still have input into the decision?

I'm sure that both Schwab and an incoming CEO would have reason similar concerns over, and requirements or wants from, a prospective head coach.

It's important someone takes into account the CEO's perspective.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
