Muvver Jones put it on the agenda. I for one am in firm agreement with him.

Are other Demonlanders?

 

"We shall never go on to the end. We shall lose to anyone in France, we shall lose on the seas and oceans, we shall lose with growing incompetence and lack of strength in the air, we shall never defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall lose on the beaches, we shall lose on the landing grounds, we shall lose in the fields and in the streets, we shall lose in the hills; we shall always surrender."

Get a group together and go for it (preferably after the season). You cannot just have the board and CEO quit with no-one to replace them.

Get a group together and go for it, otherwise this is a waste of time.

Let's see the results RR

Put it up...

Rah Rah....Lets kill the king.....The mob rules.....Yeah.....

Rah Rah....Lets kill the king.....The mob rules.....Yeah.....

they have had ample time and failed. I say that with a heavy heart.

Rolling over to the AFL was the last straw.

Yesterday was concrete fact.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

It's not going to happen now, so let's not worry about it.

If 2013 goes the same way as 2012, revisit this discussion in late-August/September.
 

What if Melbourne loses to GWS round 4 and Gold Coast round 7. Will Neeldy be goneski?

Quality post SFKA

This club is soft on the ground and off the ground....

For the first time in 30 years i reckon we are stuff..... Not even Winston could save us now, Your post sums up our pliight perfectly

Watch the vultures swirl as this club slowly dies

Yep

I think its time Melbourne head hunts and tried and tested football manager, CEO and president. even if they have bashed Melbourne in the passed. Also I think its time Garry Lyon puts his heart on the line and joins the club full time. Get Neitz back at the club to talk to the boys about putting your body on the line. We should do everything we can to get Neil Balme back.

Schwab goes first then look at the board, do they have the guys to do the right thing finally.

What an absolute disgrace this poll is.

I'm all for keeping the club accountable, but this kind of rat-like agenda is as weak as it gets.

Would vote if there was just an option for Schwab

Can't see how you can vote to oust Schwab without doing the same to the bloke who heartily endorsed him. The two are in lockstep.

So just vote no and let people vent.

You want to close every second thread.

How many threads do we need for these rats to blame the board for our problems of the last 50 years?

Norm Smith was sacked by a board Stuie.

So the curse began at board level.

Who was in charge 'stuie', think we just let things go along as they have been. Shwab has had a good go at it and failed, move him on.

If this board had been in charge since 64 I may agree, but these calls are plain dumb.

Schwab is not responsible for our gameplan (or lack thereof), McLardy is not responsible for our lack of effort, they're not even responsible for who we trade/draft! I know we're all angry, but let's not just swing blindly at anyone we can think of, let's be the opposite of our team and actually focus our attention where it should be, the players and the coach.

Like others have said Stu, have your vote but quit this wanting to shut down threads you dusagree with. The vote looks evenly split so far. Hardly grounds to claim anyone is trolling or pushing an agenda.

You are not a moderator (thank christ).

I didn't ask for it to be closed, I said you are rats.

You are Kidding aren't you....The Board and CEO are ultimately responsible for any company...

The MFC and it's supporters must expect better than the last 7 years....Watch todays game Stuie.

How far behind it are we??

7 years to climb.....

  • 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.
