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

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.

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.

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.

 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,

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

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?

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
