The Peter Jackson Appreciation Thread

Featured Replies

What can I say...

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)

Edited by Young Dee

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.

I'm thinking - MCG - Statue.

I'm thinking add him to our midfield...!

We finally have some very clever people in charge of this footy club.


thanks

a lot :)

Peter Jackson - bringing professionalism back to the Melbourne Football Club since May 2013.

 

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!

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
