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.....

Yes we are behind ON THE FIELD. None of the board members are responsible for coaching or playing, and the main guy responsible for picking the coach isn't even a board member.

Directionless anger is just plain dumb.

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.

Ultimately the CEO is responsible for the performance of the club, use all the names you want 'stuie' but this time Schwab must go. The last year and a half have been wasted by the board not having the balls to make the move after the Geelong game.

Gone....and this week.

The CEO is responsible for the performance of the club OFF FIELD, the coach is responsible for the performance of the club ON FIELD.

FCS, how do you guys not get this? We're doing as well as can be expected off field given how much we suck on field, so put 2 and 2 together.

You obviously have no idea what a board or a CEO do within organizations Stuie.

They ARE ultimately responsible....

Haha turn it up WYL.

CEO = Off field

Coach = On field

If you don't get that then there's no hope for you I'm afraid.

Off field flows to on field Stuie. It's a very basic truism that even you should grasp.

Haha that is the dumbest comment you've made mate.

We're successful off the field, so clearly you are 100% wrong.

We made an (albeit small) profit last year, what was our onfield percentage?

You have 0 logic.

We are not successful off field. We are weak surrender monkeys.

You reckon supporters will dig into their pockets to fund another bail out? I don't.

Coach still answers to the CEO Stuie ultimately.

Vlad is the CEO of the AFL He is ultimately in charge.

Please understand this basic fact.

It comes across like the culture problems and rot that became very public in 186 goes further than the footy department.

How many coaches and players would you like to see get turned over before you start considering maybe the problems are higher up?

And you think changing CEO's will magically turnaround the quality of our players and coach? How ridiculous.

WYL. Come on mate. That is a pointless post. The CEO doesn't develop a gameplan and hand it to the coach.

So what you're saying is, the coach answers to the CEO, our CEO answers to Demitirou, so we should sack Vlad then hey? That will fix us!

Off field we made a profit last year.

On field we won 4 games.

Try and borrow some logic from somewhere.

Believe what you like Stuie. Our CEO signs off ALL the cheques paid within the club.

He is ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for the employees of the club.

All of them on & off the field.

Neeld is the coach so he is in charge of the FD with Neil Craig, but the CEO is above these people.

That's why he is called the CHIEF.

WYL, you can't be that dumb, surely?

As I said, if you want to follow that logic then firing Demitirou would be the solution...

Get a clue.

Forget the $2 bob profit or whatever it was. A minor concern. More pressing is the butter soft culture which permeates down from the top. The one which meekly accepted the media hounds painting us as the tanking club. The one which didn't have the cojones to march into court when integrity dictated we had to.

Don't bother replying as it's clear that the relative complexity of these notions is lost on you.

Ugh... you are so utterly clueless.

This is about football, not politics. Don't try and overcomplicate a relatively simple thing.

We are playing badly and being coached badly. The business side of the club does not effect this.

Vlad can revoke our licence you know. He won't, but can.

For the last time...Club employees are all answerable to the CEO.

When things are not working the CEO is answerable to the shareholders. (us).

It's the coach and players that are failing. Point blame where it lays not where you want it to be.

Absolute rats.

Football and politics are intertwined you dolt. Always have been and always will be.

And while we're on the business side of things, how many memberships do you reckon the club cost itself yesterday? How do you reckon the sponsors felt? You reckon that $2 bob profit can't be turned into a million dollar deficit in a matter of months. We're aleady $500 large in the hole owing to our capitulation to Demetriou and Co.

Get with the program.

For you they are intertwined, but in reality they are not.

With the players and coach we have the result would have been the same yesterday not matter who happened to be sitting in the CEO chair.

It's called "football" after all, not "politiball".

However, pathetic onfield efforts will surely destroy "the business side" and, the club itself.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
