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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
