McLardy: Players signed, extension for Schwab & response on list management

I find it interesting that america de cali's posts about dissent, disharmony and failure within the club are absolute. I'm getting the feeling dissent, disharmony and failure is america de cali.

 

nah just a troll - don't feed him

OK, thanks, you've saved me some reading time!

 

I thought by definition that suckers could not bite?

I think the mindless "sack everybody" comments are pointless, but i do think that questioning in reasonable. We lost two sponsors that were gained by members - Hancook and Kaspersky. Posters (I've forgotten who) commented that people at both places found melbourne hard to deal with - to the point of not returning calls and not knowing who their club contact would be week to week. Now, these complaints are effectively rumors, so the amount you can invest in them is pretty weak.

Then we signed up with energywatch, a company looking too good to be true. They were. All the while, Cam's overseen a huge increase in admin numbers. But we cannot make our TPP.

I think a little scrutiny is more than reasonable.

Its not rumours, both Kaspersky and Hankook stated publicly that they were not renewing their sponsorships because of the current administration and how difficult they were to work with.

Schwab set to stay on with Demons

Well the Club obviously have faith in Schwabby.


only 20 ?? lol

Not a bad thing IMO, need to have some sort of stability in the club for the next couple of years, and more chopping and changing wouldnt help

 

Good decision, I've met Cam a couple of times and he's a bit smooth, but it appears he's doing a good job for the club, financially, and good football administrators are hard to get.

We've tried CEO's from other fields before and they have been disastrous, so I'd rather he be reappointed than have another Steve Harris or Paul McNamee.

Stability for the sake of stability tends to bring instability.

I would trust your gut feel on this Robbie, also I'm not convinced in your using the word appears that you are totally sold. 3 years is a long contract if that's the case.

...but anyway the board obviously think he is doing a good job and I guess only time will tell. Personally I don't think it is a good move and I have given my reasons before in case anyone asks why.

No more from me on this now unless (and I truly hope I'm wrong) circumstances require otherwise.

Let's get on with it and get the club back to being a force.

Paul McNamee, suggested we sign a big name forward from Brisbane, no wonder they sacked him, a ludicrous idea.

Glad Smooth doesn't come with such tom foolerey.

Cart before the horse no cluey, we were $5m in debt then, in case it slipped your mind(?) and he wanted to offer him $1m per year which was money we didn't have and couldn't afford.

Leuenberger?

Great idea!


Jonathon Brown would have been a great get..if we were $$$ up.

Salary cap, is salary cap, yep a 25 y.o Brown, that McNamee was a fool, to agree to such a plan.

I mean, we have great kids, that we needed to develop.

The ink was wet on the paper, so I was told.

If we could have afforded Brown it would have been superb. We couldn't Mcnamee didn't survive.

Edited by why you little

Was horrible to see Kaspersky on the front of Naf Buckley's track suit when he was interviewed the other day.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
