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: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
