The Peter Jackson Appreciation Thread

[spirit of norm smith 13,048]

Gone is "gonzo" Schwab... a true Muppet.

Peter Jackson - you are THE MAN.

[Soidee 1,496]

Played a blinder PJ. Triumph you can be very proud of.

[titan_uranus 22,515]

Bartlett, Jackson, Roos.

McLardy, Schwab, Neeld.

Haven't we come a long way this year.

Great work by PJ.

I know Andrew Demetriou is not popular here and I expect to be howled down but if we get a PP we should seriously think about an award in his name.

1. Denied we tanked, then hosed down the tanking wildfire started by Adrian Anderson in his absence as best he could so we ended up with feather duster penalties and AA gone.

2. Organised PJ, gave us the necessary special funding, was instrumental in the Roos signing

3. PP?

[Rocky Racoon 7]

The club seriously needs to work on a succession plan for PJ, similar to a succession plan for PR.

All of that is true. What tends to be overlooked though is that AD was also instrumental in the Schwab signing so perhaps he's just trying to square the ledger

Did anyone see the bit in the press conference where he said that the last 5 years the MFC have been spinning on about success yet not delivering on field. Talk about going WACK! I loved it!

I have a feeling he does not like Cam Schwab..

Don't think you will be howled down.

AD has said often the best thing for the AFL would be a strong MFC. No one on Demonland would disagree.

The PP will be decided by a sub committee but AD hopefully can assist.

We need an immediate player injection, Roos and PJ know it and so does AD.

Financial assistance will not immediately improve us onfield and that is the important thing for all of us.

[Disco Demons 92]

Pj for back pocket!

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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?

Make him a life member.

Yes i have often wondered about the hand over period and discussions (if there were any!!)

Jackson must have just shook his head.

As for CS i wonder if one thing went wrong, and it all just slowly fell from there no matter what he tried.

I am sure his history lessons were put in place to shield us from reality.

How many times have Landers been convinced, just convinced, that the AFL wants us to fold, merge, relocate, or any other awful thing...

The AFL don't want us to struggle, they don't want to move us, they just want to only have to worry about GC and GWS and they would be happy.

[Demon Dynasty 15,627]

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

Roos has other ideas.

PJ you bloody ripper. A true brawler/bulldogger but also a very smart/fast operator. Must keep.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,268]

He's contracted till the end of 2014 right?

Hopefully he gains an emotional attachment to the Dees and sticks around longer.

If we have some success, so do I, if not I'd hate to see him become an emotional wreck like the rest of us have.

leaders don't become emotional wrecks

they work out problems

Wow, you learn something new every day on here.

[Carlos Danger 380]

Jackson is the man entirely responsible for making the Paul Roos appointment happen and for that I can't be anymore appreciative.

There are very few out there who could walk into this club in the state it was in and make that happen.

It's pretty clear to see why he was hand-chosen by the AFL.

[P-man 13,224]

It's hard to imagine him having a more impressive start to his role. Super slick.

jumbo - you on the PJ train yet?
