Peter Jackson for another year!

More important than a number of the players!

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Absolutely sensational news! Long live PJ!

So much for the crap about a rift between Roos and Jackson.

Oh this is good!

Congratulations Peter and the MFC, couldn't be happier to hear this.

[KingDingAling 3,613]

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.

[Carlos Danger 380]

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.

[Ted Lasso 16,921]

onya pj!

Seems like he's really starting to feel like a Melbourne man

[P-man 13,224]

Awesome news

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

All of the above! Great news.

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.

[Demon Disciple 11,056]

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.

Love ya work PJ

[Machsy 2,858]

Best CEO in the game.

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

[What 18,810]

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.

Must be hard selling the worst product professional sport knows.

[red and blue forever 781]

thanks!!, my night just improved dramatically!!!

[bjDee 1,247]

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.

Good to put those rumours to bed.
