The Peter Jackson Appreciation Thread



Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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!

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
