Did he make any comments after the Tanking Investigation ? he probably should, after all he was rewarded with a 3yr contract during that debacle, if hes good enough to get a 3yr extension surely hes good enough to be our spokesman during and after that disaster.

Being "good enough" is irrelevant. Was it his place?

The president made a statement.

Do you need to CEO to do the same thing?

Why?

Isn't this just another pointless and weak excuse for criticism?

The losses will mount up and the punters will vote with their feet. It's the only thing these men will understand.

The wolves are already at the door.

You have a like for soccer players and managers dont you? CS is a sitting duck, the supporters are sick of him and the media are starting to circle, you know what happens when the media start circling coaches that dont perform, you can fist thump the table all you like, CS will be gone by the end of the season.

Rubbish.

You're making things up to back up a flimsy ill-considered argument.

How many supporters are sick of him do you have a number, let's think RR 1, you 2 WYL 3, P-Man 4....Frankie 5, so that leaves 29455 to account for, and you still haven't produced the source for your Hankook conspiracy theory. Put up or shut up

Media starting to circle, oh no, look out Cam a Current Affair is heading to your office now with a camera cunningly concealed in a replica of a Premiership Cup .........

Not at all.

You just won't elaborate on your comment of him being on "restricted of limited duties."

It's a fabrication.

And you won't provide any evidence to that effect because there is none.

You're talking s&@t.

Right, so simpletons that know no better think Schwab is all to blame.

The media love to hang someone - anyone - out to dry, then pick apart the carcass.

In fact, they sense a weakness in our many weak-minded supporters, and they pounce.

You can make grand statements, but it doesn't make you right, nor intelligent.

I understand people power can force change, but that doesn't mean the people aren't incredibly stupid sheep.

No, he's not all to blame but he must carry a good portion of it being the head of the organisation.

It is explained simply in the sentence explaining his limited duties.

If he does go....he will receive a pay out that the club cannot afford.....We will be without a CEO for some considerable whilst we find a suitable replacement.....You either want him to publically talk about the footy side of things..or you don't Which is it....? This club is out of debt now....It has never been out of debt since I can remember(I'm nearly 60)....But you go ahead join a revolution and burn down the place....It might make you feel better.....

Yes those incredibly stupid Soviet, Libyan and South African sheep have a lot to answer for resorting to people power.

...as I said before we were rudely interrupted . We have a CEO who has been told to stay out of the FD by the board and now is not allowed or able or is in hiding from the media. He's on light or restricted duties, hope is being paid accordingly.

Is the bolder sentence the one you refer to, as "evidence" that Schwab is "on light or restricted duties" (you'd think if it were so clear-cut, there wouldn't be an "or" in there)..?

Not far off I reckon. Who other than family could be that irrational.

The point is rational and logical discussion, but you constantly deviate from that or completely ignore questions that will out you.

Keep posting your waffle. It keeps the thread at the top of the forum. The more people read it the merrier.

Ok, since you won't address the above fabrication, I will.

...as I said before we were rudely interrupted . We have a CEO who has been told to stay out of the FD by the board...

Schwab was given feedback that as part of his role as CEO, he was involving himself with the operations of the football department too much, to the point of interfering. This has been scaled back considerably to concentrate on the roles within his job description.

...and now is not allowed or able or is in hiding from the media.

Or simply hasn't given a quote to the media, since it is not his responsibility nor is it necessary.

The coach can sufficiently deal with a single disappointing loss, and the president has given a statement also.

Maybe you'd like a quote from the boot-studder?

Besides, if he did give comment, I'd wager London to a brick, you'd find another feeble way to criticise Schwab.

He's on light or restricted duties, hope is being paid accordingly.

What restriction has been made to his duties? That he's been told to concentrate on his own role and not interfere with others?

That's your interpretation of it??

"Restricted" would imply he is doing less than he should. You think he should be interfering?

"Light" would imply that Schwab is doing less than the workload of someone in his position - what evidence do you have of this?

All this shows, is that Schwab was actually taking on more responsibility in an attempt to affect change, but in a misguided manner.

After seeking feedback, he has corrected his behaviour.

Sorry rjay, but you're well out of your depth on this one.

The clubs out of debt due to supporters, if hes allowed to finish his current contract that means hes been there 8 seasons, a club is judged on wins and final performances,not some peasant designing blazers and red and blue prints and China Experiments, its all pie in the sky with this guy, its amazing that there are 60 yr olds out there willing to swallow that garbage.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
