    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.

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

    Thanks Peter.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
