How did Cameron Schwab fill in his days at the MFC?

Featured Replies

Posted

I listened to two interviews and watched two others today - all featuring PJ.

I have discovered that: the MFC's staff are inexperienced and underdeveloped: the CEO ran football; the football structures are not up to industry standards; people's jobs are unclear;there are demarcation problems; too many FD people report to the CEO etc, etc.

So the club is a complete shambles on and off the field.

So how did our former CEO spend his days at work? Designing private school jackets? Designing historical logos? Desk shopping? Arranging personal loans? Wanking over the club's history?

HOW?

Fair go, he also conceived the faux collar on the guernsey didn't he.

 

the real question is - why the hell was he bought back to the MFC after he was one of those responsible for the salary cap affair?

Absolute disgrace he was bought back


He wrote the Red & Blue Print. The Tanking document that has ripped the guts out of the club.

Oh and he was completely stooged by Ben Polis & Energy Watch

If pj is saying the structures are stuffed then what is Neil Craig doing. Would love to get his thoughts on it. We are paying him probably the most money but he couldn't see that?

I would have though it was obvious. Micromanagement is quite time consuming.

Spot on.


Peter Jackson told us everything we already know:

The club is led by the "establishment": a single representative of the Ivory Tower that instills some sort of self-proclaimed moral superiority over others.

It's not secret. It's been like this for decades.

And we've heard it all before. Lyon spoke of "elites" controlling the club when Bailey started.

Schwab mentioned it before hiring Neeld.

We hear a lot about what CAN be changed, but it never happens.

Yep, but there have been some who don't want to hear and then accuse others of not being true supporters.

He probably had a wall of TV screens in his office and secret cameras all over the Admin and FD offices so he could watch and listen to what everyone was doing. That would take time to keep full track of.

They don't get it.

If Jackson decided to ditch the blazers, the bugler, the collar, and the seven design concepts in one logo, that alone would make him my hero.

All of them represent an era I want to forget, and alcohol alone isn't working.

Maybe the Board was so bad and so many poor decisions made he was forced to micromanage

He made the decisions and they were so bad. Another thing I've said before on this forum "Do you think Melbourne Storm would even consider let alone re appoint Brian Waldren to the position of CEO at their club"....how could we be so stupid.

Sad part is we begged him to come back after he wasn't interested at first

Sums things up very nicely. I'd not be at all surprised if there was quite some little doodling done daily.

Exactly. Having everyone report to you means having copious meetings per week.

with encouragement from the afl if i remember correctly

Agree absolutely.

Made me cringe when Schwab spent so much effort on that nostalgic rubbish without looking at what made other clubs successful NOW. And as for Whiteboard Wednesday........blarghhhhharghhhhhh! Sorry, just vomited on my keyboard.

And on a side note, has he paid back the god damned loan we gave him to buy a house or whatever it was? If the banks turned him down, what the hell were we doing in loaning it to him? We are a dysfunctional football club, and more so if we are loaning money to senior employees. Dumb move MFC.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
