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

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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 PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
