    Been lurking here for the last few months but I'm one of the bigger PJ fans around so this was enough to make me sign up, well done!

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
