Pert gets this Summer to sort out this mess. I will judge him next year

And how are you judging PJ and Roos right now who left him with this s@$t sandwich. And PJ left him with a $2mill revenue hole by pulling out of pokies and not replacing the revenue. But I suppose you think that’s Pert’s fault as well

    Not quite sure PJ left him with anything. 

    From my understanding he had nothing to do with the decision about Pert.

    I don’t blame Pert at all...

    this is far more Football Department problems at this Point. But as CEO he now has to go flat out to get it sorted

    He didn't. Had he though we'd  probably  have Mahoney.

    Damned  either way perhaps

    Current football department issues aren't Pert's fault.

    The club's response in the coming months are for what he should be judged.

     

    New Balanced signed on for three more years; he's had a good week.

    I would thought the credit there lies with the Marketing Dept TPF.

    Irrelevant. Marketing Dept  gets paid big bucks and does the sell.

    you clearly don't understand how corporate negotiations work

    the marketing dept certainly does not sign off major partnerships

    It's not irrelevant. They report to the CEO. They're paid the big bucks to do a job, which is held to account by the CEO. The higher the pay grade, the fewer the number of people above you.

    CEO is held to account by the board. The board by members/stakeholders.

    This is how organizations work. If the marketing department doesn't deliver, the CEO asks why, and the board asks why of the CEO. The board isn't going to the marketing team to see why a sponsor wasn't signed.

    Actually I do a family member was Marketing Manager at a successful AFL Club for 20 years. He was responsible for attracting what is the longest running sponsorship in the league. His job, his initiative brought the sponsor in, he was rewarded and still is acknowledged for it. Not the long forgotten CEO of the time.

    one instance from over 20 years ago; that's gotta be sydney with qbe, i presume?

    i worked at a club where a sponsor was brought in by the media department

    these are the exceptions, not the rule

    the likes of media and marketing depts have little to do with corporate negotiations as rule

    Surely we are due for a crisis meeting. Surely after last night.

  • Quote

    Listened to Pert on the Inside Melbourne podcast and he come across as pragmatic and assured. Despite the disaster that 2019 has been our club has managed the fall out well and looks to have a clear plan for turning things around in the off season.this goes for Goody as well who is clearly under alot of pressure but working hard to turn things around. I certainly think we are capable of turning 2020 into a successful year if the players/coaches/admin all do their bit and supporters get along to games.

    My biggest issue with Pert is that he keeps Chaplin in the job.

    And if we lost New Balance?  Where would your blame lie..?

    Marketing and sponsorship is a significant element of Pert’s role.

    Wouldn't that be Mahoney's responsibility as GM of football?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
