    wow. Im shattered. Was hoping hed stay on for a few more years and be there when we pull in a flag. He's been so good for us.  A CEO the likes of which we've never had,  or not in the 45 years since Ive been following anyway. I guess it gives us time to get out [censored] together and bring in someone else who's of similar callibre. Still, Its a sad day. Much gratitude to him though for helping steer us out of the dark wood we were in.

    Love him and will be sad to see him go, turned the club around all by himself basically when nobody wanted us, a club legend in my eyes.

    Didn't see this one coming. Like all great leaders, his legacy will be the culture he leaves behind.

    Pretty much single-handedly saved the club, with help from Roosy. Should end up in the club's Hall of Fame.

    I absolutely agree, what he has done in such a small amount of time and considering where we had been... the guy is a miracle worker.

    The most important figure at the MFC that I can recall in a long, long time.

    The club can’t thank this bloke enough. Has turned this club right around.

    Thanks Peter

    It’s hard to imagine the state that the club was in when he entered.  We were broken and bereft of any hope.

    Build him a statue.

    Anyone got any ideas of potential replacements they'd like? Perhaps someone from Geelong or Hawthorn or Sydney?

     I'd love to see PJ leave with a flag to his name.  That way the revival that he has overseen would be complete.  Just reward for his outstanding work,

    There's a poster on this site that would love the job... he's a big fan of the AFL :)

    He's leaving in a similar manner to the Roos/Goody handover. He's done a simply brilliant job.

    He will be sorely missed .... where is the similarity you refer to?  Has he a successor under his wing?

    We got struck in the ar$e by a rainbow when this bloke accepted the role.

    It could easily come from within.

    Wouldnt be surprised at all if it was someone like Chippindall.

    I wish he could stay, but i understand it had to come one day and sadly it has, can't thank you enough for the work you have done in helping the best club in the world to still be here and be on.

    I say this from all demon supporters and members, your heart beats true for the red and the blue.

  • Quote

    Universally admired by Dees supporters I would say. Not many people can claim that.

    Thanks Peter.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
