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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
