He is contracted until the end of 2014. This normal, if eh continues to improve our club he will be offered another contract and he will decide himself whether to take it or not.

He is professional football administrator and those jobs do not come around that often. And people in those positions often hang around for a long time as its a passion as well as a job.

So we'll she how his and chip's contract talks go :)

Or in other words " she'll be right " !

So if we're all in such a rush to throw out the baby with the bathwater why don't we offer the most succefull CEO Gary Pert an offer he can't refuse. Lord knows who he could bring as next coach !

Pert and Roos were both Roy Boys and might relish the chance of teaming up.

It could be a reason for Roos to extend.

They could both be persuaded it represents a chance to show the AFL that clubs can be revived and dont have to be relocated.

Drawing a very long bow, but I like the way you think.

My understanding from AFL sources is that Jackson is not going anywhere and he will be around for a while and he is enjoying the challenge at MFC. I did not get the impression that PJ would be flying the nest within the next 12 months.

Hope you are right.

Can't see why PJ would want to leave Melbourne. Since arriving he has been on fire: sacked a bunch of people. Got arguably the best available coach in the business. Has full backing of the AFL. Just needs another two years with Paul Roos.I think PJ could actually learn something off Roos.

Why do you say Pert's the most successful CEO? I would have thought there's an argument that Brian Cook has been more successful at Geelong; or even Cook's protege, Stuart Fox at Hawthorn.

Interesting 'rumour file' this morning, suggesting that Hird may return to Essendon as their CEO! Anyway should be an interesting AGM this evening for dees supporters.

Being CEO of Collingwood is the easiest job in the AFL.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
