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?

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.

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.

If you haven't got to So Long Marianne yet keep listening.

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?

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
