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.....

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).

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.....

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
