I heart PJ

Not a big article, but everything PJ says is important and he doesn't waste words.

"To be honest if you go back over for the last 15 years and probably in reality the last 50 years ... culture and list management is what has won premierships," Jackson said.

Also, I've been really impressed with a lot of what Kochie has to say too:

Port Adelaide President David Koch later told SEN that AFL equalisation measures should be labelled "compensation" because 'smaller' clubs do not receive the benefits of marquee games and Friday night telecasts.

Forget about Chip, let's get a war chest happening to keep Jackson around.

It takes more than money

    Heard the Koch interview and his use of the word compensation is spot on. After the initial response to the guy from a lot in the media and football in general (must admit to wondering what he was doing as President of a club) he's proving to be a big asset for the AFL.

    Finally we have a CEO who knows how to be one.

    PJ was far more important for the club rather than another priority pick.

    When I first saw the thread title I didn't know if the author of the thread was in love with Paul Johnson or Peter Jackson.

    I agree that Jackson appears to be a better fit for the MFC than previous leaders such as Ray Ellis, Paul McNamee and Steve Harris.

    PJ is so great for the Dees, but while he's being discussed I'm so impressed with what David Koch has done with PA. I have no interest in him on TV, but he's done for Port exactly what I want for Melbourne. He's put their name out there, in this guernsey saga he's put his foot down and said I won't settle for PA being the second club in this state. I hope in a few years Melbourne are doing the same and saying I don't stand to be compared with WB and Saints, we want to stand with Carlton Richmond etc.

    Port will always be the Bogan Central, but i agree with your sentiment.

    That said Sunrise is the worst program on TV now that Today Tonight died last week...i still cannot consider David Koch a serious Human...But he suits the PAP (smears) beautifully.;)

    PJ is an intelligent CEO who has great football knowledge

    Will be very hard to replace - we might get a smooth operator as CEO but they're unlikely to have the Footy brains PJ has

    Agree with Stuie - forget Chip - PJ is the most important employee at the MFC :)

    I love PJ

    He been the best thing for the MFC since the 2000 Grand Final appearance.

    He can make hard decision when needed and is not a media junkie. Well respected in the industry, which help with the rebuilding of the Clubs credibility.

    Plus I think he is BBO and Biff's pin up boy.

    Just finished listening to PJ's speech and to be honest, it wasn't brilliant oratory. However, we don't need a speech maker. We need a CEO. We have had enough speech makers and BS artists at the club. What PJ lacked in oratorical flair, he made up for in an ability to just tell things as they are.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
