Schwab re-signs for three years

Featured Replies

I bet he sung in a choir and needs a good pre season in the gym. And to think we could have had Jack Darling

Exactly RR glad to see you have seen the light.

 

but can he hold down a KPF role?

I doubt it DC not tall enough but the small forward role is still open.

Don't read much do you...

Locking away a current major jumper sponsor for next year hardly eradicates the blunders of the past year (namely deliberately going into a season without a major jumper sponsor on account of negotiations for the magical Chinese mega-deal and in turn getting into a situation where the club had neither major jumper sponsors).

Given the product the guy is trying to sell, he's done an amazing job to get any money from anyone!

Fair crack mate.

The down side is we can look forward to another 3 years of media scorn

Of course winning games would shut them up.

Sponsor the demons "our supporters are pee hearts"!

 

Congrats Scwabby. May you continue overseeing the reins with continued gusto and passion.

Im sure they're be a rejuvenated focus on things Business :unsure: given the FD is coming along nicely ^_^

As they say...if it aint broke...dont fix it

We aint broke !! :)

I think you missed the "deliberately" part, the deal with Energy Watch was the biggest in club history and the Chinese deal was said to be bigger than that. He admitted he was overlooking "lesser deals" to try and get the Chinese deal done.

And with how quickly the Webjet and Opel deals were locked in after having no sponsors whatsoever, it's hard to argue there wasn't sponsorship interest.

Comes across as ego to me, trying to catch the biggest fish in spite of the club's best interests (and supporters being able to purchase a guernsey relevant to the next season without delay).

Lol... Yeah how dare Schwabb try and get the most money he could for the club, who does he think he is?

There was never a Chinese sponsorship within kooee of being signed. Schwab readily admitted this at a news conference when the energywatch debacle happened. It was a ballsy play and CS would have been lauded a champion if he landed a big fish, but sadly to no avail.

I simply don't know BB

On this one I have to defer to the board.

In two years time they will either look like a bunch of rocket scientists or dip sticks.

But that will not be the responsibility of CS alone.

The die is cast in a number of area's and we have no choice to run with it.

It is always thus with the MFC but interesting times lie ahead.


Is this where I am supposed to pretend I know if he is doing a good job or not? I have no idea and I imagine a lot of supporters don't know. So good on you CS I think? :huh:

I'm not going to turn in my sleep over a CEO.

If Schwab is a good sort or not is up to the Board. I really don't know either way. But he was a dead man walking 13 months ago. He must have done something right since.

I said the same above cfh.

From the outside who knows.

He has made a few errors( who doesn't ) but seems to have recovered quite well.

The current board and CS are now locked together.

Everything or nothing for both of them.

I just want a flag so we can hold a press conference and Scwhab is there with Watts,Morton,Neeld and any other whipping boy and they all step up to the microphone, clear their throats and begin and end the press conference with F you herald sun and F you Brock Mclean and F you Energy watch and F you Wojo (still haven't forgotten) and so on.

Im prepared to defer a real opinion on where we sit to those that put up the big bikkies.

Whilst Webjet has yet to announce anything Opel has. They only came on board for a year ( with an option ) They exercised thir otion. To me thats a ringing endorsement of th eclub and those in charge. I understand CS is a major player in all of this so kudos to him I say ( and the rest of those involved )

Sometimes I think were a bloody feral mob who are very quick to rain on anyone who veers slightly off a path. Seldom is there any fanfare for a job well done.

All jokes and desks aside I can only assume C Sis doing a better than ok job as the club seems to be on a much better footing than before he came on board. Yes Jimma rallied the masses but the club continues to operate responsibly and profitably.

The board think so too and I can only think they know a lot more than most of us.

Edited by belzebub59


A number of clubs are struggling for sponsors for 2013 in the current economic climate. The fact that Opel have stuck with us is an endorsement for CS.

A caroline wilson hate campaign, rumours and innuendo don't undo that.

Looks like we are going to need to get the man a new Desk.

I'm thinking Oak-a la Henry Blake.

 

Some of you crackpots love a poorly performed pick one yet denigrate a CEO who has the club's finances in it's best shape since we split with the MCC in 1981.

Give yourselves a pat on the back.

The CEO is the very very least of our problems.

Not sure it needed to be 3 years but I don't pretend to know how these things work.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
