I will be honest I thought Peter Jackson was basicaly playing musical chairs (comes in for Schwab and then leaves in 6 months). I underestimated the ability/power of a CEO and thought he would basicaly do very little. Well looks like I was wrong - CEO's seem to be the spine of the football club (who would have guessed judging by Schwabs known influence). He seems to be willing to make the decisions that for so long we haven't been able to make. Although I am now skeptical - how much power does this guy have? can we put our faith in basically one person who seems to report to a board meeting once a month?

Anyway ............. Let the heads roll Jackson!

Maybe that is exactly the explanation for our current position - no spine anywhere. Lets hope that PJ lives up to his expectations and delivers: we have seen that he can elsewhere, given the right environment and structure and support.

GO DEES.

    The thing I love about Peter Jackson is that I love hearing him speak. There's no pre-thought up lines or well-worn cliches, no smug smile and no condescending tone. He's honest, knowledgeable and gives full, respectful answers with a tone of respect. Like he's not hiding from the truth, and doesn't feel he needs to do so to protect his position. I always felt with Schwab that he was trying to give me a condescending reach-around. I couldn't stand to hear him speak, and if people don't want to listen to the CEO then you're in trouble.

    As for Peter Jackson, sign me up for his newsletter and send me his audiobooks for Christmas, loving his presence at the club so far.

    No faith in anything anymore except the promise of death one cold grey day.

    What point is there?

    It's all a vain struggle against the inevitable .

    Hope this Stoic reality provides you all with some solace .

    I'll judge him in 5 years time, when he has a mature CEO body.

    Great to have a decisive , baggage-free administrator in PJ . Never understood the aura around the off-field Garry Lyon particularly as he supported his mate Tiger Ridley during the merger kerfuffle .

    Reminds me of my CEO who is also a [censored] that uses big words to justify cutting bonuses, pay rises and promotions.

    At least Schwab genuinely loved the club and spent the cash on desks, and not paying off lawsuits.

    Can Peter Jackson do Tuesday Blackboard Nights?

    I got upset when he opened his month. He needs to threw away the text book and really try and understand what he is saying.

    The guys does not have a clue.

    ever heard the expression...Dont do as I do , do as I say ? lol

    Yeah I believe the loan was paid back in full. To be honest I don't understand peoples negativity toward young Schwab. One day we will all come to appreciate Cams real legacy. The finest collection of office desks ever assembled by any sporting organisation in the world !

    So who voted No to being unhappy with Peter Jacksons appointment? Was it you Cameron.

    Was the 5 who voted against having faith in Peter Jackson judgement, Mark Neeld, Cameron Schwab, Don Mclardy, Tim Harrington and Guy Jalland by any chance?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
