I've heard that his new role entails him teaching people 'how' to be a CEO.

Did Schwab treat his position as a real job? :)

Many would say no ... has any other CEO of a footy club become involved in other such superfluous notions?

Schwab was protected here too ... it was only near the end of his tenure when the pendulum really swung. For the most part, he had a large majority of support on this site ... oddly enough, many footy fans I spoke to couldn't stand him and thought he was damaging our club.

It must be noted that Schwab was our CEO when we went from 5 million in the red to 8.9 million in the black (that also happened in a very short space of time) Most would attribute that turnaround to Jimmy Stynes and I lean that way as well. However, it does stand that he was our CEO during that turnaround.

I think it would have been better if Jimmy had played more a Don Scott role (fundraiser and figurehead in chief) rather than taking on the actual presidency. We obviously appreciated his hard work to get us out of debt but he did enable the 'boys club' culture that allowed Schwab to come on board.

I won't comment on the other superfluous stuff that you mentioned Macca (I have said enough thus far so maybe I'm too fargone). One nice thing about Demonland in 2015 (and to a large extent 2014) is that CS's name had almost become like a vague pop culture reference like Kriss Kross or DJ Skat Kat. We don't hear much about him and I like it that way! ;)

i once saw bobby and laurie

Anyone (presumably under the age of 50) want to confess that they thought dc was referring to Flower and Fowler?

My confession is to a fear that the Norm Smith Curse isn't real but the Demonland curse is. Has anyone else noticed at the top of the screen "Demonland Est 2000". And how many Grand Finals have we played in since?

As new information has come to hand, I've changed my stance a number of times with regards to Jimmy, DB, CS and the people who stood on our various boards. We've all had to really.

Hindsight tells me that Dean Bailey wasn't given a proper pathway with which he could forge his plan.

Jimmy was a marvelous man who's heart was always in the right place - despite all those putrid on-field seasons he will forever be remembered by me for getting the club into the black ... to this day, our bottom line is still in the black.

As for the boards and CS - the less said the better. In their own way they did their best but they fell way short.

As for the present & future ... in comes PJ followed not long after by Roos ... from there, nearly all the decisions, acquisitions and forward planning looks to be the right ones. As always, time will tell.

What the??

"How to lose $Millions quietly so nobody notices until you have left.."

A night with Cam

Surely not a motivation...

Wouldn't mind rolling up tho...

I confess that Robert Flower is still my all time favourite Demon player.

I confess that I do not ride scooters, nor have a beard.

I confess that the likes of Nasher, WJ and Demonland are the best.... since sliced bread.

I confess that I have warned, suspended and banned other Demonland posters. Quite rightly I might add.

I confess that I will warn, suspend and ban D'Land posters in future. Like sands thru the hour glass......

I confess to having written a training report previously during a pre-season. Among others there. Weird kind of feeling, but great to get out of my comfort zone. (Appreciate reports by the way)

I confess I have a deep deep hatred for anything Hawthorn. Very envious. And everytime I see the coaching box of late, I feel somewhat ill to put it politely.

I confess to not having watched all volumes of Whiteboard Wednesday a few years back. Thank goodness.

I confess to feeling pumped when hearing the story of how CS wrote down on the back of a beer coaster in front of Slobbo...picks 1&2 Scully, Trengove,...and when we nailed the recruiting of Clark during trade period. Didn't they work out well for us. There's still one hope....

I confess to feeling so relieved when we lost to Richmond in '09.

I confess to being very angry when Michael Long ran through Troy Simmonds in the 2000GF. I don't think I've ever been as angry since - oh wait - yes there is, the 2002 Semi v Adelaide. Yep, the TV copped it.

And finally, I just love every time we've been KOTD one way or another, the last being..obtaining picks 3 and 7 through smart wheeling and dealing following the rules.


massive confession to those old enough to to remember.....pure nostalgia. Like looking at old photos.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
