You have every reason to be supportive of the CEO @DaveyDee

Brendon Gale has delivered nearly 100k members and the premiership he said he would get all the way back in 2010. It's a record you should be proud of.

Your online trolling here not so much but you can be proud of Benny Gale.

 

Genuine lols!!! Kudos sir!

    Didn't Balme go to Richmond as a direct result of Collingwood appointing Gubby Allan...which means that Eddie McGuire can take the credit for Balme going to Richmond...which means you want McGuire at Melbourne???

    Not Eddie..I want a Balme type at Melbourne ;)

    I just don’t want us to [censored] this decision up. 

    We simply can’t afford to.

    Yes obviously, but the club the new CEO takes over is light years away from the one PJ did. The fundamentals, plans and structures are in place. The troughs have been cleaned out. We no longer need a reformer or restructurer. We need someone to carry on PJ’s legacy. 

    The hard work (administratively) has been done. We need safe hands and an internal candidate makes sense now.

    Can't fault Peter's efforts and results brought to the club during his 5 years or so.   A super effort, especially given where we were coming from.  Has steadied the ship and, at the very least, has us pointing in the right general direction.  In the next few years we just need the exact co-ordinates then to move the telegraph stick from all ahead half....to full.

    Thanks Mr Jackson

    In my long term experience scoreboard pressure and results normally determines success !

    When he was appointed the fl og Ess fans I know thought it was hilarious as they didn’t rate him. They gave multiple examples (most escape me now) the major one being the Knights appointment. 

    We can look back on it now and know PJ was a star at Ess and an even bigger star at the Dees.

    And in hindsight, maybe Matthew Knights was a better appointment than was realised at the time.

    Would it be out of the realms of all possibility if they promote from within?

    Wouldn't be shocked to hear Josh Mahoney's being promoted yet again...

    I bet if PJ was at Ess in 2012 their experimental human laboratory on players would never have happened.  They lost plenty when PJ left, not the least of which was their moral compass.

    Their loss was our gain.

    I introduced myself to Peter, when the Dee's played the Lion's this year. My desire was and is to say thankyou for what he has achieved for the club, coaches, players and supporters. A good man and and should one day be awared legend status once the team wins its next flag.

    Well done Peter Jackson!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
