Says who?

i bloody hope he doesn't. We are ridiculously far from being out of the woods yet, in every club aspect on field and off field. Although some posters with their hyperbolic posts, rants and praise would have you believe otherwise.

    Pj is tied to the club for the time being as one of the conditons of us getting AFL funding for the restructure.

    Not a good call here 'HH'. Not the right fit for us and will be discussing his new job this weekend when he's in Brisbane.

    Swanns just stepped down at Carlton.

    Hes denying links to the Lions job, funnily enough the same thing Roosy had to do half way through last year when Brisbane were going after him.

    PJ likely to finish up at end of 2014 as our CEO.... will Swann take over?

    Why would we need Swann when we have PJ?

    Oh, you're under the misconception that PJ is leaving at the end of this season...

    My understanding is that Jackson extended his contract til end '14. Maybe I am wrong.

    Greg Swann would be a good get IMO IF Jackson stands down/finishes up. AFL would be good with that I would have thought.

    I suggested in another thread the other day that PJ should stay on long term and I doubt he will go anywhere

    Then a bunch of posters were quick to pounce on me and suggest that PJ is in his 60's and wont stay past the end of 2014 which is all he is committed to at this stage

    So which one is it?

    PJ is staying long term or hes finished at end of 2014 ?

    Quite possibly neither at this stage.

    I would have thought that if there is a suitable candidate, he will step down; if not he will stay on for a bit longer.

    There is another possibility. He's not staying long term, but he's not finishing at the end of this year either. Two or three more years ought to do it.

    I don't remember anyone saying he wouldn't stay past 2014, just that he won't be at MFC until 2020.

    PJ's exit is an interesting one. You would think that they'd try to not have both Roos and PJ step down at the same time. If he stays on for 2015 then I'd like to think he'd stay on past Roos' tenure as Head Coach.

    I have had a bit to do with the Carlton F club from a business point of view and the word on Swann isnt good. We dont want him near the MFC.

    I get that feeling and whilst he seems to have done a good job to get the business on track, albeit with some pretty powerful benefactors he has had a little bit too much to do with the football side of things for my liking.

    In all seriousness, was the hiring of George de Crespigny not the early stages of a succession plan..?

  • Quote

    From what I saw of PJ the other night at the Club, he has unfinished business with us, reckon he is like Roos when he considers he has done what he was "hired" to do, he will look for a successor, it also helps that he gets nothing but positive feedback from the supporters

  • Quote

    I'd like to think that PJ would stay to oversee the succession plan he suggested to entice ROOS.

    If his assistant gets appointed at the end of the season, and Roos stays on until 2016. I can see Roos staying on as Football Director.

    PJ would then stay on to ensure the New coach appointment is bedded down.

    He is not the type to turn his back on something he has started but not completed.

    Malthouse has endorsed him and we know what that means!

    With no insight at all - I also feel that PJ, when he decides to pull the plug, won't say - that's it - I'm off. I think (hope) like Roos - he will exit on his own timetable after ensuring we have someone in place to take over from him.

    Pretty hard for him to land Roos by hard selling him on the idea of a succession plan and then not do the same himself ?

    I have such a man crush on PJ.

    The guy is a God amounst Gods.

    PJ needs to stay as his work is not yet done.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
