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?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
