My question:

What advice would you give someone at the start of their career who wants to work in football admin, and what makes someone good at the job? Its impossible not to be inspired by what you've achieved since you started with us.

 

Welcome to Demonland.

Are looking into getting into football admin?

Does he offer Demons members discounts on his suits? 

Or his cigarettes? And what about any of his movies?

I can actually picture his answer and the exact look on his face upon being asked said inane questions.

My actual question would be about what would be the best way for us to maintain our upward momentum? Too often we as a club have gotten very self satisfied at this point and proceed to shag everything up.

My questions to Peter Jackson would be...

1) Besides winning games of football, what does the Melbourne Football Club need to do continue to become financially successful?

2) What advice would you give to Gary Pert when he takes over the reigns as CEO of the Melbourne Football Club?

Does he grow tired of hearing junior staff members refer to him as "Peeeeeeteeerr Jaaackson" when they think he's out of ear shot but actually he isn't?

Is the interview prerecorded or live? If live it’ll coincide with the closure of trade week so it’d be good to get PJ’s assessment of trades, player contracts given they appear very flexible and what he thinks of trade week in general.

We pre-recorded the interview this morning to accommodate Peter. We will air it at the top of the show and then @Grapeviney, @Nasher and I will discuss the trades.

What are his thoughts on Bartlett as head of the board? People on here have denigrated Bartlett, it would be good to hear PJ thoughts on him and the board as an overall compared to his time at Ess.

Speaking of them, I know this is a Dees podcast but it would be amazing to hear PJ thoughts on the Ess drug scandal.
Does he think it was right for the players to be punished under the WADA code? Did the club take enough responsibility for it?
Are all clubs now fully onboard the WADA code?
 
What does he he think of the ridiculous nature of the trade period now days?
 
Can he give us and understanding of what kind of preparation/time goes into the end of season delist/trade/draft period? How many people at the club are involved? How often during the season do they meet to discuss the salary cap, players staying, players
maybe coming in? 
 
Is there 1 thing he is most proud of from his time at Melb?
Is he a Demon for life now??? :)
 
Lota of qs but would be good to get a real sense of some of the inner workings of this stuff, not the same old “what was the club like when you arrived? “Stuffed”” type questions.
 
PS awesome get gents!!!

Sorry ?

The 3 mins I spent thinking up those qs, was 3 mins well spent away from the Hoges thread.

Hope it went well, can’t wait to have a listen to it.

The man doesn't eat biscuits. He eats cement direct from the mixer.

Can you ask what Peter thinks about the muppets on here that think they could negotiate trades better than Josh Mahoney and how they could best help next year?  E.g.should they come down to the club and advise or do they serve the club best from behind their keyboards.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
