AFL Footy Op. Manager.....PJ?

Featured Replies

Posted

After Lethlean's demise, the AFL is seeking a new Football Operations Manager.

There has been talk of Garry Pert, Nathan Buckley,the Geelong or Brisbane CEO's succeeding him.

I'm  worried they'll pinch Peter Jackson.

Is there anything to worry about?

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

PJ would be perfect and THB I was worried about this as soon as the Lethlean saga unfolded.

Nonetheless if he did go we are on a much sounder footing now and we would have a strong ally in AFL HQ 


PJ is a business manager not a football manager, I wouldn't be too worried.

...on Pert, I see he wants to spend more time with his family.

That's usually code for being pushed.

Is the position even up on Seek yet?

Might have a crack.

 

Pert is just taking the fall for Ed and Bucks, the Ferals were needing a body in the bag!

 

Mark Neeld is the obvious.

Barry Pendergast a close second as recruitment and development manager as well.

I reckon Hirdy would be a lock for the position.

In charge of Integrity 

PJ has made a strong commitment to the Dees and I think he will stay till he finishes what he started.  Also, he is at the tail end of his career and is more of a 'trouble shooter' than a 'career' placement.

I'm more worried that the AFL or another club will pinch Josh Mahoney.  He is maklng a fine name for himself and well deserved accolades come his way. 

He is starting his career and it is always good to get experience in different environments.  His non-playing experience is all at the MFC.  I do hope he also stays the distance with us but at some time he might just get an offer he can't refuse.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
