Thank you, so much.

What a man!

    Yep, thanks to the afl for delivering him to us. He came in didnt care about the history of the club just wanted to fix things and so far he has. Thats an advantage of getting an outsider in.

    If only he would hang around permanently.

    You know anyone who has ever had an appreciation thread on here has ended up fired usually in a huge mess. But a good start by PJ. MFCSS

    Like some of you, I saw him talk at half-time in the Ryder Room a week/fortnight after he came to the club. Geez, he was impressive. Didn't beat around the bush in saying our club was simply not up to standard, and that he can totally understand that we as supporters have been given enough excuses. He called a spade 'a spade'.

    He is the best thing that has happened to this club in my lifetime from an administration point of view, but I'd also go as far as extending this beyond just administration. I'm only 28 by the way... so I haven't really experienced much apart from a few years of competitiveness. I've got a feeling that we will all one day look back on the day he signed, as one of the most important days in the clubs history.

    As well as luring Bartlett and Roos, he walked my Granny across the road the other day... what a legend.

    now we move on to the supplements manager appointment..........can't wait

    dc I was going to agree with you on that other thread but that would have added another post.

    Is there any way that we can show our appreciation?

    We all rocked up to training that time to show support for the club but what can we do for Sir Peter Jackson The Great?

    I don't want to bombard his email address as I am sure he has much to do.

    Any ideas?

    Are you sure your Granny didn't help him cross the road ......... jokes (he was probably still in shock)

    I cant fault his work so far. I hope he sticks around to extend Roos' contract. He has got more done in 4 months than most of the rest had done in 4 yrs.

    That is, everything he has touched so far is turning to gold.

    love him, he's been a star for us

    He has turned our club on it's head. He has also put us back on the AFL map and given us a sense of pride in achieving what other clubs couldn't. There is no doubt Roos is hugely respected and most clubs would love to have him as coach. Now we can salivate on the team that will be put together to support Roos and the football department. I think we are all entitled to be excited.

    He helped me walk from Queenscliff to Sorrento - the short route.

    Thank you Peter Jackson.

    Thank you to those who played a part on encouraging Paul Roos to MFC.

    Thank you AFL.

    Always thought of him as a bulldog, and seeing his short stocky strut alongside the elegant Roos and Bartlett it's now stuck in my mind!

    Good boy PJ!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
