Peter Jackson - On The Couch Monday 29th July, 2013

Featured Replies

I found his interview interesting. He certainly doesn't dress it up. Confident buggar too.

But, not sure what he was on the show for. Nothing to talk about really that was new, and few questions from Heally and Sheahan; none from Roos. Heally's question/comment about CC/tanking got smashed, and no questions about ASADA (either Dons or MFC). Boys a bit afraid to ask questions maybe?

So, self promotion? or a little dramatic tension vis a vis Roos/coaching?

I have watched PJ's interview a couple of times now and it dawned on me why he was on the program and imo he was pitching to Paul Roos.He was saying I am the Melbourne FC CEO these are my philosophies and beliefs on how to move forward.This is how we will structure and this is how we will achieve our rebuild.We will be chasing the best people.

Very clever, Roosy won't come to PJ at the moment, so PJ came to him.

Well done sir!

 

I remember them, mate, I remember....hell, we were all there....

What the bleep has happened????

something really spooked the admin after Gutnik left is my view. I have no idea what it was. But the club lost its balls.

If only we had moved into that Lexus centre. We have knocked a lot of oportunities.

This was what PJ was alluding to last night.

We still do not know how to become elite as a whole entity.

he did a good job if that was the motive.

Didn't miss a beat.

 

PJ speaks of hope, but the only thing giving us hope as supporters is himself and a just turn 18 year old playing in the reserves named Jesse Hogan.

Sad but true.

Geeze PJ was bloody impressive.

+ Jack Viney.

I thought the same thing, Roos seemed to be looking on with interest, hoped it worked.

Reminds me of an old prin I worked under, TSFKA - he acquired the apt name of 'show bags.' All glitter on the outside and full of shite on the inside.

But, I respectfully wait.....

Haha..that's great.

I remember when Mitch Clark filled me with hope. Now he just fills my Facebook newsfeed flogging his photography.

an easy stroll across the foot bridge from the 'G' to the premiership festivities after the game & the following days.

our troubles that hindered our growth,,, happened a loong time back,, & continued on. this Is the reason we have diminished in our support base... to almost inconsequential.

when other clubs are setting all member records we are sitting on the floor like a flounder looking for a worm.

its time Now, to start to do what we should have done back in the 80/90's.... we should have found a place to setup Social Facilities & Grow. we had another chance as you say, with Mr Gutnick, & after his time, but conservativeness has gutted us again.

'your not touching my backyard' attitudes, are whats haunting this club, not Norm... the same attitudes that got rid of Norm, are still killing the club.

Any chance that if we hire Choco Williams that Dusty Martin will come with him since Choco is a mentor. Would never happen but bloody hell it would be great


I don't want Dustin Martin at my club.

He's a friggin [censored].

the word "g un" is censored now??

The biggest thing i noticed during the interview is that PJ doesn't really stop talking, it seems like he wanted to say all of those things without giving others a chance to change the subject, so a pitch to Roos is possible, or a swipe at Healy, i'm not sure what the reason behind it was but it certainly seemed to me he had a message he wanted to get across to someone.

I remember when Mitch Clark filled me with hope. Now he just fills my Facebook newsfeed flogging his photography.

They are nice photos though

According to Trent Cotchin Martin has now learnt how to pay a phone bill and he does it on his day off. God we really are advancing with these players

They're okay, but as thrilled as I am that he's found himself a hobby, I'm really not interested. He seems to be getting pretty serious about it too. Openly seeking work.

Within hours of the North decimation last week, instead of a post about how determined he was to get back, he posted a photo of his dog chasing bubbles in the backyard.

I just hope he's back soon, and that the ongoing injury combined with getting thumped every week hasn't sapped his passion for the game.

It may be his way keeping life in perspective P_Man.

The Way Mitch appears to me is someone who is very serious about football and wants success.

Being constantly injured unable to doing anything would be hard for him to take.

If photography keeps him calm it is fine with me.

Whatever gets you through the night

I have thought for a very long time that the majority of footballers are not rocket scientists.

Dustin being a case in point.

However I think he fits into that select small group that would struggle to get fed if they were not good players.

Having said that he can play for the MFC any day in my book.

He is not paid to be a rocket scientist just a footballer.

At that he is way better than half our team.

Please come to the MFC Sir Dustin.

The lexus Centre option was ours if we wanted it is my memory but we didn't have the $15m (?) it was going to take to get us there.

As for Gutnick - he was a total disaster for our club. The classic example of someone in it for himself.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
