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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
