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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
