    Yep, best re-signing since Roos joined the club.

    These 2 blokes are absolutely MASSIVE for this club, we were in a dark place.

    Thanks PJ, I appreciate your work. You have saved this football club and I am grateful.

    Still think PJ was/is more important. He was the one that persisted and got Roos. Just my thoughts...

    I'd like to see PJ step it up from signing a year at a time but still very happy he has done so, he's definitely the man for the job.

    My thoughts exactly. He's doing an amazing job, but like the coaching position we need to know where we stand long-term. It's great that he's agreed to stick around for another year, but the fans and probably hte players would love to know that he's either staying with us long-term or that there is another equally good person waiting in the wings to step in at the end of 2016.

    I reckon he'll stay on until at least a year after Roos steps aside.

    Roosy hands over to Goodwin at the end of 2016, i reckon PJ will stay on until at least the end of 2017 so as to avoid as much instability as possible, which would be greater if come 2017 we had both a new coach and CEO.

    IMO Peter Jackson holds the keys to the MFC, he won't leave until somebody absolutely capable has become available.

    Best CEO in the game.

    Those who tout Brian Cook have him there based on past glories, not current form.

    I feel bad for him

    hes doing everything right off field, meanwhile we are still [censored] on field

    hes certainly delivering a hell of a lot more than Roos

    No, I would agree, you are right. PJ was pivotal. He has been fantastic.

    Very good signing, he has a lot of work to do. I like what we have done tonight with the breast cancer support.

    If only we could perform on-field.

    What's he like in the midfield? Plenty of opportunities at the Dees.

    Yep he should have come on as the sub. Couldn't done any worse...

    Especially when our supporters are so prone to overreaction...

    I'd say he's the best CEO by some distance,

    a measure of the change in quality of our administartation is how little we see/hear from them, they just pull strings in the background, i feel that's how a good footy club works.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
