I used to talk to Cameron Schwab at the the footy, and while he undoubtedly left us in a very bad state, I doubt I've met a more passionate MFC person, apart from Jimmy. So yes he [censored] up, we

Great news ...

Professionalism, consistency and stability in administration of a football club won't guarantee on field success but you can't have success without it.

Inch by inch we are looking more and more like a proper footy club

Peter Jackson may become the most important person in the history of MFC....

I don't say that lightly....

His signature was all the more vital given Roos is stepping down as coach at the end of this coming year, as highlighted by Bartlett, "This is a good day for the club. We got on the front foot. With 'Roosy' doing the (coaching) handover next year I just thought it was important to have that stability".

Yew!!!! If we can have some on field success would love to see what kind of profit h the club could generate with PJ in charge.

Great news again from the club.

Also a good reminder for the coming season or 2.

It's especially good for our stability, considering the ^$%^ that was being published earlier in the year about Bartlett and Jackson being at odds over contract terms, and Bartlett making a play for Brian Cook. Thank Christ it's all been resolved.

Great signature for the MFC. PJ has been critical in turning the fortunes of our great Club around. Like all of us, he deserves to share in the spoils of our future success, and it's great to hear him say as much (in his typical under-stated way of course).

Bloody brilliant

He is the most important person at our club and the best recruitment we've had in years.

What he has done for our club is beyond words of gratitude.

I like where PJ's heart is at and the magnitude of work he has accomplished with his executive team. No easy task mind you.

14 seasons at the Bombers as CEO and managing director, head of AFL Victoria for four seasons and now MFC for two and a bit - will be four minimum.

He sticks to his task and wants to see it through. David Chippindall is also an important component of the financial side too (COO); it's great news and indeed an exciting time ahead I feel.

Good news and if we can get him to sign eventually until 2019 then that would be great. I think in the next few years, PJ should take on a protege to eventually replace him as CEO. He won't be here forever and it would be good for us to have a ready made replacement for when he does leave (I'm sure the job has taken 10 years off his life already).

That is a discussion for later on however and will bask in this re-signing for the moment.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
