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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
