It's been reported that we're back in the black despite a horror season with very few profitable home fixtures apart from the QB Blockbuster.

I was once told that football clubs can play around with their figures but I accept what PJ says and am calling it a minor miracle. Imagine what we could do if we strung together a few wins early next season and suddenly became a finals contender?

Melbourne CEO Peter Jackson declares the Demons made a profit in 2014 despite just four wins

 

Will wait until I've reviewed the financial statements before I get a full idea of where we're at. Hopefully we've whittled down some of that debt on the acquisitions from a couple of years ago.

Still, it's great news none the less. PJ is the man.

Please...dont let this guy leave !!!

another reason to not give us a pp?

He's no Cam Schwab but at least PJ has some accounting skills.


What would a real accountant make of your business/s Biff?

My receipts all got burned BBo.

It happens nearly all the time.

Don't worry Biff. You can always fool the authorities by saying your income comes from your pro wrestling career. That being said, even that is a little suspicious.

 

The old desk must have gone for a fortune on ebay.

Not to mention the blazers.

Can't believe Bris are $12mill in debt and Saints lost $2.6mill this year.


Truly astonishing.

To produce this sort of result given the woeful nature of our on-field performances is the football equivalent of defying gravity.

The calm, measured approach of PJ is wonderfully refreshing.

How reassuring it is for our club to not be leaking like a sieve - congratulations to PJ, Roos and the coaching/administrative staff.

Fingers crossed for a productive Trade Period.

The profit would have been higher moon but we had to write them off this year.

Not even the salvos would take them.

They were finally placed at the lost dogs home to line kennels.

Well at least they are keeping some pups warm.

Bronze statue for PJ!

Shows what a total waist of space the old CEO was..

You don't need a profit & loss statement to tell you that.


Article makes no mention of the new collar design and lacks a narrative about the club that grew out of a ground. What does this bloke do all year?

You can take pot shots at cam but he Did wipe out 5 mill of our debt, also he Did unite the mfc back with the mcc that give the mfc extra million dollars a year, so in terms of bussiness cam was not that bad, but he Did lose his way, but he had tied all his success on the team improving on field, when that did not happen and when the kangaroo court happened over tanking, where the mfc were the only team investergated and punished

Ah well... It lives!

Walk past the Blazer Bar ground floor MCC and there you will see the MFC blazer on display next to the MCC blazer (which I proudly wear), the MCC (Lords) blazer, the Hong Kong Cricket Club blazer and others!

But back on topic: debt free and in the black, thank you PJ.

Now for a better season in '15 and (I hope) an even better result!

Yeah, but does he have a sleeve tattoo..?


The best thing about a very dark year has been the fact that the focus has been exclusively on the playing list and on field. Roosy made a potential mistake when he bought up tanking as it had the potential to open the flood gates again and start an orgy of blame and recriminations towards previous regimes. However, PJ's management of the club has allowed us not to have been fraught with the mess ups of years before: signing Facebook using cowboy capitalists up to sponsor us on unbelievable terms with money that they don't have, losing Melbourne supporting sponsors by playing their deals off against other sponsors, issuing a six figure investigation into the club then burying it's findings when they don't tell you exactly what you want to hear, borrowing money from the club for a home loan, sticking your nose into recruiting and drafting when you are supposed to be the CEO.

Nothing that has happened this year has come close to the insanity of 2008 to 2013 and for that we can be thankful.

Am I meant to be impressed Dee Dee?

because I am not.

Winning games and finals impresses me not snobs in 19th Century blazers.

Paul Gardner used to tell us we were flying and in the black.

We discovered after he had gone that there was a $5m black hole. Maybe that's what he meant. Disastrous regime...

You are delusional if you believe this. He was worse than Gardner.

In fact over the past 7 years he is responsible IMO for the complete and utter mess this club is in.

Oh and BTW it was Jimmy not Cam

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
