Pert has got huge shoes to fill. 

What a fantastic administrator. 

His plan is what has put us where we are.  He quietly went about implementing it by getting good people into admin and football roles.

He delivered on what he promised:  Finals in 2017 (we almost got there).  Win one in 2018 (nailed that one!)  As he said "We've knocked one over and we've got three to go...Anything's possible for this team,"

So happy the team has had some finals success during his tenure and he can directly participate in it; be the 'face' of it.  So richly deserved.

 

Words can't do justice to what PJ has done for the Melbourne Football Club.  He deserves formal recognition.  Life Membership would be appropriate.


He will go own as one of the most important figures in the MFC history, I'm sure he must have had a feeling of pride when he looked out at the crowd on Friday night.

Has don an amazing job to turn around the club, on and off filed. We never be forgotten for his contribution.

 

Some of the fan-made Youtube clips reviewing the bad times reminded me of what he did back when he took over. He sat next to Neeld in the presser after he fired him and said we're dragging the competition down. He was there for arguably the worst time, just before he got Roos and the new Dawn began. He's gonna be missed in his role.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
