Cameron Schwab Resigns

Recommended Posts

2005 losing the last 5 games after being on top in round 18 was the WORST of our culture.

Right there.

That was 2004. 2005 we sneaked into the finals by winning our last 3 games against Geelong, Bulldogs & Essendon by a combined margin of about 14 points.

That win against Bulldogs was so special.

I miss that feeling.

Yep 2004-05-06 were all finals bound. My point exactly.

But never back it up the following year.

^Right there!

We are in the position we are in, not because of Schwab, McLardy or any of the current Board it is purely the neglect and absolute incompetence of many of the previous Boards and their appointed Managers.

We spent years in the wilderness because we put up with 50's and 60's style Boards/Managers who were well meaning but so far out of their depth it didn't matter.

We should never have been headquartered at the Junction Oval and that caused the club to deteriorate, almost to the point of extinction.

You obviously have no understanding of the history of this club and it shows in your ignorance of past issues.

We now need to hire someone that isnt a melbourne person, doesnt have mates at the club and he can be from another sport. We just need someone new and fresh.

Don at least could have had a tie on. You can tell the last few weeks have been dragging him down and lets face it he probably didnt want to be president but sadly circumstances forced him to be.

Finally Schwab admits the club handled James McDonald wrong and should have kept him. Well duh

You stood up for the past issues, and then you blame them on past administrations, your a laugh a minute, you cant even remember what you post, you have zero credibility.

Did you actually read what I said and do you have in fact the intelligence to understand what I referred to? Talk about zero credibility you have zero competence.

I referred to previous Boards, you know the ones who allowed the club to fall in to a state of disrepair in the late 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Do you have any understanding at all of our history?

Why do you think we fell from being the most powerful club in the VFL to the worst in the AFL; do you think it's all Schwab's fault?

Get a clue.

The first job of the CEO is to find us a new President

Thanks Don but your time is up

The CEO doesn't pick the President. The Board picks the President. The Board also picks the CEO.

Thanks Roost it I think your time is up.,,,,

Yeah i do have fair grasp of our history, you are a very slippery customer RF, the other day your bitching about CC and CS,but a few weeks before that you were putting your balls on the line through the tank investigation, then you blame the past administrations on what ever you can, your a comedian, whos fault is it, the 60,s was 5 decades ago, why dont you blame the current board, you backed Schwab through the tanking investigation and eventually YOU lost.

I think was right you haven't got a clue and talk about slippery, I also mentioned the 90's, want to talk about that or weren't you around then?

Remember 1996 when we were so broke the Board wanted to merge the club to save it? I stood up for the club in the tanking issue I guess the difference is you didn't.

Remember the 70's when we had nothing, hardly won a game and our supporter group started to die off? How many Boards in that time let the club down and allowed us to slip in to oblivion.

But it's all Schwab's fault.

We used to treat Hawthorn with disdain and now they wouldn't [censored] on us.

Your last comment sums you up; YOU lost. No idiot, the club lost you just can't see the difference.

Now [censored] off I'm not interested in giving you a lesson in our history; look it up.

I backed CS and CC over the issue of tanking, I expressed my disappointment over the fact they they and THE REST OF THE CLUB, didn't even acknowledge the contributions of their members.

Now even a fool can see the difference but I guess you're not even a fool.

Want to talk about the 90's Pete?

When your wrong old timer you abuse people, YOU were wrong,THEY WERE THE REST OF THE CLUB, admit defeat, you backed the wrong horse, the whole of demonland have read your posts, Baghdad bob proved you wrong, at least have guts to admit it.

Old timer; that the best you can do? Maybe get your mum to read my posts to you and perhaps she will be able to explain them in a way you'll understand, although I doubt it.

Fanbob ran off in to the night when Schwab was cleared in the tanking issue, what you're doing is trying to rewrite history.

As I said you haven't got a clue and the more shrill you become the more stupid you sound.

Mjt, now that yourbmate schwab is gone I can't see what you bring to the table in any discussion. Please don't revert to slagging foundation heros just because Schwab is no longer a issue for you to [censored] about

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
