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?

    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.. :cool:

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

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

    jumbo - you on the PJ train yet? :)

    • 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.
