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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
