she does love to spin things. lots of young players (high draft picks) have left the club. yes. because we traded or delisted them.

"Last year the CEO was re-signed on a four-year contract but that contract has a six-month termination clause."

You know your search for answers has become desperate when you start listening to Caro with open ears. And I'm referring to myself here.

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

We're in worse strife than I thought.

Plenty of nails hit on the head there by Caro..........no point playing the man on this one, we're a joke!

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.

according to SEN Shawabble is on around 4/500k per yr so we cant afford to sack him

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.

Seve Wilson can GAGF.

CW's attacks on Schwab was as dependable as sunrise. Anything she says about the playing list is worthless, however, her comments about the AFL gunning for him may well be accurate.

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?

Caro has a go at Cam...!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
