    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.

    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.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
