I'm currently in the middle of listening to and thoroughly enjoying some Essential Leonard Cohen..Should I stop or is this the same as his Bluey speech?

    I’ll speak to Steve Smith about it the next time we have lunch?!

    He's changed his tune a little on priority picks. He didn't come out and dismiss the idea entirely for Carlton and GWS but he was a lot more circumspect than he was in 2014 when we were applying for one.

    However, the man rarely wastes a word. He blasphemes a bit but he is the ultimate straight shooter.

    I had a slight chuckle to myself when the Gaz Man was talking about the state the club was in when PJ arrived in the sense that most of that damage was caused by the whole Hollywood Boulevard set.

    Really interesting stuff.  PJs view on who the most important people in a club are in order:

    1. CEO and President/board who supports the CEO.

    2. List management.

    3. List management.

    4. List management.

    5. Coach

    I'm sure Clarko, the Scott brothers, and a few others would have that list reversed.....

    He is impressive due to his clear thinking, simplicity of thought and spoken word, his honesty and his common sense. 

    He is also humble but confident in achieving outcomes. 

    He makes it seem so simple even when its not, that is his gift.

    Peter Jackson  you are my hero and always be indebted to you for helping the club l love out of some very dark years.The club is finally starting to look like  it belongs and respected. Yes we are the Demons and you are one for life.

    Words can’t express it anymore. He will be very hard to replace and we are just going to have to wait and see how Pert goes. To be fair it was always going to be big shoes to fill for anyone but still. 

    We’ll miss him, the ultimate professional.

    Can't work out if this is fan-boy or cryptic. ?

    According to my greatest hits Leonard Cohen CD, So Long Marianne is followed by Sisters of Mercy and Famous Blue Raincoat. Brock is a famous Blue turn-coat, I assume Marianne is Jess Hogan, but who these sisters might be has me beat? But apparently Everybody Knows?

    Jacko has taken Melbourne, now we'll take Manhattan and Berlin.

    PJ was the CEO we needed when he came in. Perty is the CEO we need now going forward.  No CEO is more experienced at Facilities and Membership growth and best practice. HIs experience for these next steps is way superior to PJ's which is not to detract from anything PJ has achieved.

    Jackson did a wonderful job in turning the club around. He, Paul Roos and Glenn Bartlett deserve a hell of a lot of credit. PJ was the catalyst for our turnaround in my opinion. We weren’t an AFL standard club by any tangible measure when he walked through the door.

    Here's hoping mate. The guy has some excellent credentials, hopefully we can grow the club but not forget the foundations that were put in place.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
