Can you tell me then....Who are you going to replace them with????.........CS has been in the footy game for a long time and has experience in the administration of a footy club.....Has he made mistakes???? YesHas his admin taken the club from a $5 mil debt......Yes Has the footy club now got amenities equal with the competion......Yes Is the club running a a profit.........Yes (A small one but a profit none the less) Was he recommend by the AFL........Yes Is he instrumental in this lattest sh!t fight.......Unknown Can you please put a name to our next CEO who knows the football landscape better and has steered the ship better than CS through the past year of hell????

Bail also just jumps into oppositions backs.....He gives away just so many frees......I do admire his desperation to get the ball but he must improve in a lot of areas if he is to make it....

There is not one supporter who wanted us to miss out on two top two picks,for the sake of winning a meaningless game in a season in which we were crap.....And now you want heads to roll because of the results of that year,,,,,wether we tanked or not.......I think many supporters thought we were crap and it is stupid to think we could "arrange" which games we won and lost.....But ahve it your way.......Get the lynch mob ready....

Are we a club or what????? One for all....All for one..... You either stand together as a footy club or you don't....You do not provide victims for sacrifice........ If we go down then we do it together.....If we don't then we do it together......

Fair dinkum......I feel like ringing the "Age" and telling them I am an ex player and I have proof that DB told me to tank....I wonder if that would make it to the front page of the sports section??? or do you think that someone might "Check" my bona fidies.....I think the former.....

Nah ....sorry....Goodes kick 4 and was Sydneys best player

Completely different......One was a clear offence of salery cap breaches which is defined in the laws......The other is "tanking" in which the laws are not so clear....

Yeah....great idea....Hang him because he is not popular with the media????despite his contribution and acually leading this club out of debt......Only one of two or three clubs that aren't in debt...These clubs are in debt.... Rich.....over $3 mil.....Coll.,,,,$10 mil....Carl....$7 mil( figers are approx only....will go to ann reports of clubs to confirm)....He also got Freo out of debt when he was there.....Edit to add last sentence

I take it by your post that you were at the meeting of the FD and heard them dicuss their desire to tank and it was not just one meeting??????.....If so, can you tell us exactly what was said so we will all be informed of the truth......I believe that this meeting was a weekly meeting of the fd.....Your post suggests that that tanking was "openly discussed".....Where is your sorce.......What was the date????At what time did it start?????Who was present????Please explain????

I take it that you were at that meeting and heard everything that was said??????....Otherwise pure speculation and until it is sworn to via affidavit or a court of law...It is heresay evidence......So many experts these jurnos with not having to PROVE anything

He mightn't have given jobs to his mates but when he left the club it was in$5 mil in debt and driven into the ground....The only decent thing he did was to leave in a bloodless coup........

Where is your sourse.........Name it or otherwise you are just starting an unsubstainciated rumor....

Are you really that stupid that you would think that the club has not has leagal advise to just shut up......

I think we have bigger problems than the draw.....

Look at all the rightous, moral high ground, people jumping off.....

This club is run by astute people who have got the club out of a $5 mil debt.......Have new sponsers in hugely difficult situation.....Have a FD which is funded as well as anyone else in the AFL.......When Schwab was at Freo he got them financial and out of debt(Don't know how much).......Schwab and Connolly got Freo to their first final series......I know the reasons Schwab was told to concentrate on the running of the club instead of putting his nose in the FD,a job that he does very very well.......As I stated in another thread the club in in the best position I have seen it for 20 years......As for Connolly he does his job very very well....Entertaining sponsers and bringing new community involvement to the club.........These are the facts......Either get over it or put in for the jobsAnd while I'm at it, Jim started the revival but was too sick to see it through....The above two and the board has turned this Footy club around......If you don't want to be here....welll.....See Ya....

Bingo.....

No......No.....

Maybe he was told by the football dept to recruit a certain type of player......and he did......lot of hate for him but I reckon it's not ALL his fault....Just Saying....

Maybe they meant that the majority weren't training so no one would waste a trip????Just sayin'

Think it was when Barass first came......Cleared out a lot of players and paid a high price for Peter Moore and kelvin Templeton....Also bought in a lot of youngsters who went on to play finals footy under John Northey......

How does a club get out of a $5 million debt.....Be able for the first time to get a FD that is on a par with the top sides......Without the solid working CEO and a board that can take the whole club forward......Yes Jim was the starter but without the smarts of the rest it would have faulted.......Just for the record.....Carlton has a 10 mil debt.......Richmond.....3 mil.......Coll......$4 miland don't get me started on the Lions....Port......West Coast......and the newbies........All journeys start at the begining....I back the board and the CEO to the hilt.......I have not seen the footy club in a better position for 20 years....

Viney........6 Wines.......7 Hogan 5 Dawes.....10 Barry.......33 Pederson 34 Byrne.......29 Rodan......27 Howe.......18 Leave 23, 31,...........retired Just my thoughts.....

Did you watch the bloody game........Much easiler to sit and whinge........I didn't count the hits to advantage but there were a lot more than 3......He beat his opponent.......took some good marks in the wet......Typical..... just keep knocking

I just watched the 1st St Kilda game of last season where we lost by 3 goals.......I could plainly see what the game plan was and we executed it for 3/4's.....It was only in the last quater that the young blokes got tired....And anybody that says Jamar is not up to it should watch this game.....He was great..
