Tension at the top?


Demons rising

Recommended Posts

Swimmingly.

Any tips? Just keep it quiet between you and me. we don't want others jumping in early. I am struggling these days myself. Blue chip, high yield but they go up and then they go down. It's a roller coaster.

Wow. This is all we need.

I think PJ deserves more time.

Cook is a great operator and an ex Demon but PJ should be rewarded on going service considering the clubs turn around.

Bartlett could alienate himself...

Double wow - before we start the usual ritual wrist slashing, why do we believe any of this?

Why? Just the past 10 years of self destruction by successive administrations who have had a great time paying themselves overs big time and delivering jack Shyte outcomes. Other than that I don't know why I might be worried.

Just what we need, it has been so quiet on the media front, whoever leaked this to the media is an idiot! Thanks ex board members for destabilisation. Just when everything was looking up... I hope PJ stays and Bartlett has some sense about him. We would not have Roos without Jackson and Jackson is the reason our club is on the rise, not Bartlett. Who the hell is he anyway?

Peter Jackson saved this club. If anyone should be replaced, it's Bartlett!

It's like this new era of prosperity is too scary for the board and they feel the need to dive head first back into the cesspool we just climbed out of.

When will this club ever learn.

what if Jackson refused to commit passed say 2016,,,, & Cook was available & committed to go 4 years 2016, '17, '18, 2019 ??? what would you do then?

what IF the AFL want PJ to go back home, after the 'Hird' fiasco is finished with & the dust settling ???

whatta we do in that scenario?

why didn't jackson extend longterm at end of last season?

the fallout will travel far & wide after the bombers dropped their guts & the nuclear payload they carried under their pits.

the AFL will be allover the after-effects of the Hird/asada sorry saga.

Part of the conditions of us receiving AFL support was that pj is around to implement it, I can't imagine that's totally done if pj wasnts to stays on.

Then that is an outcome that doesn't upset anyone and is good for the club. However the story so far is that the president allegedly wants to go after another Ceo rather then commit to the current one.

I just wouldnt stand for the club going after a pipe dream and alienating one of the best administrators this club has had for a decade.

Cook would have to be an absolute deadset lock in before you could even consider not extending jacksons contract. Otherwise Jackson walks, Cook say no and where standing there with Cameron Schwab as the only applicant

Can someone explain to me exactly what PJ has done to be placed on a 90-metre pedestal by so many of you?

It seems he had a big role in getting Roos, which seems like a step forward, though far far far from a done deal as we are still at the moment 17th on the ladder

What other credits does have PJ have at the MFC thus far?

I'm not bagging him at all, nor suggesting he be moved on, just seeking clarification of his godlike status

For a start he has bought any expensive desks.

Conversely, name me one stuff up that's occurred during his watch thus far?

I also ask why this has come out less than a week after the AGM? The board is still accountable to the members of this club, we outta start excersising some of our rights if Bartlett thinks he can get an ego and put us back where we were.

The optimist in me says that it's prob just 3aw rumour started by the anti Melbourne Der-Wayne

i don't imagine that IF Bartlett was sounding out Cook, that PJ has asked for an extension to his contract.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
