excellent listen

it's such a shame we got him closer to retirement age than wanting to really get down into the nitty gritty of being a ceo of a football club again as he's exactly the type of person you want in the role

    It’s a really good listen. Would have been good if he stuck around. But could also see him stepping in to help another struggling club at some point. Well maybe he wouldn’t be keen but could certainly do it. 
    He speaks a lot of sense and particularly around the rebuilding of our club. It was never going to be a quick fix.

    I've seen PJ at the footy decked out in red and blue with his missus after he finished with us. He's one of us

    Great podcast and should be a staple instruction on how to run a football club.

    He managed to extract both Essendon and Melbourne from the pile of excrement that both found themselves in.  His message was was to get the right people in, get the finances in order to match your income and set achievable plans for the future. 

    It was interesting that he noted that you have to get the TRUST of the members back, by actions.  That trust is easily lost, but you have to work hard to get it back. When they see results, then they return.

    That was a really good hour. PJ is always so straight down the line. 
    He was a great asset and his philosophy is very simple. Get the right people, and those that can no contribute have to step aside. 
    Pert has to work under those guidelines right now. 
     

    Thanks Peter

    I highly recommend everyone listens to this.

    The whole thing was great but if you are pressed for time the Demon content is from 33-53 mins.

    But you really should listen to the whole thing

    No amazing headlines to report that haven't already been reported in the past but a great insight into what happened during his tenure.

    • 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

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
