"3AW's Neil Mitchell has become one of many high-profile Demons calling for his sacking." ... High profile Demon? Oh paleease!

More worrying - he's calling for the players to shave off their beards.

We're in worse strife than I thought.

We had an AGM in February and not a single soul got up and spoke a single word of criticism against the Board, or Schwab or the coach or his panel of coaches.

Not a single word. Not one question about the CEO's performance in running the club. Nobody spoke out about the recruiting policy. In fact, everyone was full of praise about the mix of new players on display. They were all there on show, the new, the young, the mid age, the old and recycled.

Nobody chose to criticise or to send in a letter to be asked at the AGM.

What's happened since then?

A so/so pre season and two appalling performances by the coach and the players. And we seek to blame, find scapegoats, pillory everyone in sight including the convenient scapegoats and blindly follow what the media tells us. What they want us to think.

Board members make significant contributions of their own funds and mass sackings cost more money in payouts and then there are the replacements and their cost.

On top of that, who can tell us if we've really asked he right questions and got the right answers.

And when it's all done and dusted, what happens if the players still don't respond and you've sacked Schwab and all of the other heads have rolled?

Would the Caroline Wilson's, Patrick Smith's, Greg Denham's and all the media and armchair critics give a brass razoo if they kill the club?

She just cannot help herself, can she?. I am sure that the GFC, climate change, the near miss asteroid and the North Korean saber rattling are all in some way linked to Schwab, at least in her perverted narrow mind.

She's at it again.

"Frustrated at being unable to prove Schwab played a part in the plan to lose games - which became messy and panicked after the club won two games in a row in the second half of the season - deep animosity at head office lingers."

No, Caro. There was no plan to lose games.

She's a bitter mess of a journalist whose agenda over the summer was thwarted by a complete lack of truth. Go away.

Rangey, generally we share similar views, but latley your sensationalist posts speaking of revolt and revolution are walking the fine line between legitimate posts and spam!

As a side note to the Mods, perhaps we should have a daily "media" thread where people can post links to articles about our club - god knows we dont need a new thread everytime an article is written

While there are doubts about anything Caro says about internal matters at MFC, I'd expect her to be much closer to the truth about what the AFL think of CS. That's what concerns me about this article.

Hardly news that she hates Cams guts.

He despises her as well.

It's a hate-hate relationship.

The findings of the tanking investigation were announced two weeks after the AGM. What do you think would have happened at the AGM if they were announced two weeks before?

    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.

    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
