Cameron Schwab Resigns

Featured Replies

 

Don told him its best to resign..

 

Finally Don gets to work by sacking cam!

The board should have to pay out his 6 months severance pay as well, stupid decision, why should the club suffer financially for there bad decisions.


We won't win with a third world midfield and no ruckman. And BTW Garry Lyon no longer has the right to. All himself a demon

And take Chris Connolly with you!

Gary has a short list of potential CEO's.

 

Ha! put this down on another thread an hour ago..

"Besides RR, i dont think its anyones agenda to out Schwab.

As i mentioned in another thread, he's basically signing his own termination letter with his absense - esp, over the last couple weeks.

But here and now, as you say, I believe we need a Big Gun to lead us out of the wilderness.
Schwab is a derringer, at best.

I would be hitting up someone proven to pull everything back together - like an Adrian Anderson for eg..

He's done some good things Schwab, of course made some mistakes too.

But we just need better at the moment."

Schwab has back both trenners and grimes to get us out of this hole

Does anyone else think that Adrian Anderson is a good chance to be appointed CEO? Any new CEO would have to get the AFL seal of approval.

How ironic.

Did the right thing by the club. Well done Cameron Schwab.

Schwabby, make sure you shut the door on your way out.

McLardy goes next. Backed this joker in for a full three years.

"The board has complete faith in his ability to deliver the key elements of our future club plans...an announcement on his tenure can be expected in the next couple of weeks.''

That's how we treated James McDonald. No, he walks out head held high.

I suspect Cameron Schwab is a decent person and I wish him well whatever he does next. His departure was probably necessary to defuse tension.

I mean no disrespect to Richmond's CEO, Benny Gale, but gee it would be nice to see Caroline Wilson's apoplexy if Richmond appointed Schwab as their CEO.

Thankyou..and Thankyou Schwabby.

Good luck with your future.

The thing that sickens me is the thought of Keros rapture.:(

And we move on.

Yeah, he showed Junior the door with Bailey cowering in the corner. Shame, shame, shame.


Cameron leaves with respect. It was time to go.

Mclardy will be next.....2 weeks or less?

McLardy said the club is strong off the field, but they will be judged on the field.

When asked about being a scapegoat..

Cam: "Am i scapegoat? I know ultimately my role was to build the club, but we need to win games of footy. We've lost by over 200 points the last two games, that is bad situation. I was up for the fight,"

Schwab: "My preference was to stay in the role. I still felt energetic, but it is within the rights of the president and the board to make the call they have."

 

Scapegoat.

McLardy asked for the AFL's help yesterday.

CEO sacked today.

Hmmm,this is Vlad's call.

DM just said we have a "divided supporter base" - Lots of reasons surrounding CS and the last 4 years - DM blathering, CS cuts in to say that him leaving will clear the air... DM is WAAAAYYYYYYY out of his depth in this conference - CS is defending the board and his sacking 'cos DM is incapable of handling the presser --- how terrible... CS trying to protect DM... just shocking leadership.

asked about CS reappointment for 3 years - more mumble and drivel

sounds like DM and the board want to clear the 186 air etc etc etc but he can't say that in public... it's a real can of wriggling worms

what about yesterday's letter - there will be no sudden changes !!!

again DM on about "divided supporter base the CS polarises"...

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
