Your an embarrassment to yourself Mach 5 ( or should it be Mach --5 ) because that's how low you stoop. 

If Perty has something in the Closet you are  either too embarrassed to mention OR it's just a despicable and underhand fake attack on our Club Administration leader who has  plenty of credits in the Bank.

No matter how you try to  discredit Gary your not succeeding and the likelihood of a very personal and false attack is greater but more in vain and less likely after every success our CEO is ticking as the weeks and days go by.

You probably are trying to water down the enormous effects that our Premiership is having as it brings more praise on the Club, our Officials and our players as each day goes by!

Give it a rest ie put up with the facts or please SHUT UP.


Easy there champ. 
All I hear is “how dare anyone criticise a club official after what we’ve done!”

Have a lie down, don’t hurt yourself, bask in the groupthink. 
Fact is that plenty of clubs have won with less than perfect people in key positions.
However I’d love for you to outline what he has done so well, without demanding others do the opposite and expose themselves to accusations of libel.

Well it us up to you as the instigator of some alleged dirt or otherwise to reveal why you are now  a very  lone voice in the wilderness on your "Get and try and remove Perty" campaign.

it must be very deep and personal if it occurs that you aren't or won't detail your reason for your attacks.

it is plain for any Melb supporter to see the credits and success Gary has been in the role over 3 years and proven to many doubters  he was the absolute right choice for the top job of CEO.

Over to you Mach --05 as I said put up or .......!!

I’ll say it - he’s the wrong guy. We have succeeded in spite of him.

We’re very fortunate the football dept culture has been built strongly before his time, because he’s not the man to do it.

I’m also not going to applaud the guy for managing to re-sign a major sponsor following a flag. Setting the bar fairly low.

Once again, you say a lot but reveal nothing. Quite Pathetic really. 
Put up or shut up, your comments are offensive…

I’m still skeptical on Pert and I enjoy a contrarian view so I’m with you.

But I must admit promoting Richo seemed to work well. As did hiring their old Collingwood mate in Choco. No idea if Yze was a Richo/Goody/Pert driven move but that’s been a success too.

My main worry with Pert has been he’s talked of massive growth of the club, where PJ seemed keen on Melbourne being a highly successful mid sized but well run and efficient club.

Jaguar actually plays more to the latter. Especially when the Pies sign up KFC! Keen to see who we have joining us for the future and if the focus can be more on providing members a quality club than attempting Eddie style franchise inflation.

The bloke restructured the footy department, stuck fat with goody, brought in Yze and Williams, finally delivers a prem and you reckon we’re successful in spite of him

Did he turn you down for a job, steal your girlfriend or kill your family pet?

I’d just like some facts/examples relating to his axe to grind. From this side of the fence it seems an odd hill to bury yourself on when we’re looking “reasonable” at this point in time. 
 

 

Hey isn't it good to see a sponsor stick with us. Remember years ago when we were pleading for a back of the jumper sponsor

No apparently he gave the job to the girlfriend, stole the pet and threatened Mach5 and cancelled his membership. 


Yep...one would think they couldn't wait to get back on.

Winners are grinners.

But jags are crap cars. Mabe that's harsh....I guess they have probably changed a lot but I still remember my mates brother spent ten grand on his xjs repairs.it certainly looked good.

I always think of the madman scene re nags but TX for the support.

That was for last season. Don’t think there has been confirmation of 2022.

I would not be surprised if they pulled out rpfc. Jaguar / Land Rover have been doing poorly in the market. Could be the next to leave the Australian market. They could hardly blame the MFC for poor coverage.

LtD Jaguars are a far better vehicle now, I watched the Factory on Discovery very thorough production techniques in 2021, my brother also had an XJS back in the 80’s which wasn’t so hot.😢😢

This is nonsensical mate. PJ aimed lower because where he started was near rock bottom.

Pert and co have built on those PJ foundations and looked to grow the club. The idea that we shouldn't aim to be a big club and aim to be a middling club instead is mindblowingly stupid and not at all in line with running a multi million dollar business in a multi billion dollar competition.


I see a story in today's hun about Richmond going green. It seems Jeep is no longer a sponsor. From the article it is not certain who flung who. With going green does that mean Richmond has requested no night games? Because think of all coal produced electricity that is used on night games. Surely they could not be party to that!

evry time i was in a jag it was hot! Overheated even on a cool day but as u say they looked good

 

Just goes to show if the product is not right ( Jeep have poor reputation for quality and service) no amount of sponsorship will make the product sell.

They have a contingency plan for this

If they sold 90 to 100 cars this season  to Dees supporters alone at an average price of $100k+ea. Not a bad return on the sponsorship. Add the media exposure/coverage based on us playing in all the finals, winning the GF after 57years which saw the news story go global, I think they would be  very  happy to get back on board.

Yes the amount of media coverage given to Top 4 Finals Teams is a huge difference to what we were used to beforehand. 
that is what i noticed this year, being Front and Center. 
that kind of exposure is big $$$’s to pay for. Way more than the Sponsorship outlay

Jag would have been really happy with their exposure, not being in the media, but I wonder what the $ value of the exposure is compared to what they paid for the sponsorship.    As for jag/landrover leaving. I doubt it they have  a very lucrative segment of the market here,  No shortage of land/range rovers in Perth (assume the same around most cities), plus a bit of a waiting list for their new defender model I hear. (The quality is far better than it once was, and they are owned by Tatar (Indian car company))

 

 

 

 

 

the question is what price we are asking for the 2022 sponsorhip assuming Jaguar didn't have a multi year deal?

The ultimate prize for most clubs is an airline (do we still have China Southern) but I'm thinking new age...

Tesla here we come or perhaps SpaceX !!

i wonder if sponsorship deals have bonus incentives?

such as $x for winning > n games, making finals, winning the flag etc

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
