In my opinion until we get rid of Schwab we are always going to be average. For a guy whose been a CEO for years only twice has the team he's working for made the finals. He causes friction amongst players and footy department, if wasn't for the thrashing by Geelong in 2011 and Jimmy passing away he would be gone. lts a well known fact Jimmy wanted him out but Garry Lyon, who IMO should stay out of running of the club, said no Bailey was enough to go at the time. l wish Bailey had stayed until the end of the year and Schwab went then.

Now let me see Dave.

You've mentioned something that happened 15 months ago. Is there anything specific you can point to that he's done since then that you can point to that backs up your theory

Cameron Schwab... something something... uh.... Fremantle is no good... something... um... what was I saying?

Given that the club appears to be the best run it has been in living memory, with the most stable and united board, and the astonishing admin-side staff turnover of past years also seems to have stabilised, and the selling of 'distant hope' has been gradually toned down in favour of clear and present actions...

Unless something sinister comes out of the woodwork, I'm a solid fan of Cameron Schwab, have been for some time, and frankly I'm more than a little annoyed by the bizarre and gutless anonymous sniping of internet heroes with no particular accusation to make, just innuendo about as useful and reasonable as 'he was responsible for Liam Jurrah getting in a fight in Alice Springs'.

Ahhhhhhh I see what's happening... Moloney's gone, Morton's gone, Gysbert's gone, so who is the obvious choice for troll target next? Schwab.

I actually have to coin a word for this type of post that both describes and encapsulates... Dumbness. There is so much dumbness in this line of thinking that it needs it's own dictionary entry.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
