Love that Pert is 'flying the flag' for the team.

His 2010/11 grand final preparation experience is going to be invaluable.

The media wouldn't give a rats if every Melbourne player did media 24/7 and lost the Grand Final because of stuffed preparation. In fact, they'd love it because it would give them more stories.

Putting 2 and 2 together, some journo's asked for an interview after 9pm and got shut down, and now there's two stories out of it:

1) "a hard curfew for the players"; and 
2) "Melbourne is being difficult to deal with"

Give me a spell.

I love that they are using this grand final as an opportunity to grow our membership numbers with kids.

Gawn, Kossi and Trac would all be really loveable amongst kids. Also great to see them doing a kids focused zoom call again.

The younger generations is how we keep the club growing and strong for a long time to come.

Say what you like about Pert, but he has done it all before and he knows how to get a club marketed and memberships growing.

I think it's a case of:

  1. We are Lenny Kravitz, and
  2. Caro is "Mr Cab Driver"

Was anyone else in the zoom with yesterday with pert, richo and nibbler?

 

anyway, pert said something along the lines of, richmond sold 3 thousand T-shirt’s in their premiership years (each year) and we have sold nearly 10 thousand! I’m pretty sure that’s what he said

He also said after the Geelong prelim, we made more money those next few days from the demon shop then we did from the shop altogether in 12 months!

I tried to buy some gear and they are sold out, pretty much of everything.

It's not going to make up for no crowds at our big games and no Alice game, but it'll help. As would winning the flag

100%
he said they were 4million in profit half way in the year then lockdown came and now we are just scrapping. Win a premiership and games back to normal next year then it will be a great year next year

Exactly!

There are a lot of Melbourne haters out there. The only way to shut them up is to win!

 

I have been quite pleased with Gary Pert as MFC CEO so far.

Pert has been a great CEO. I hope he stays there for a long time. 
Many People on here and elsewhere have said “We are a small Club and that’s our lot”

I have never subscribed to that. We are only small because we think that way…

The Melbourne Football Club has huge potential

Let’s win the dam GF and see what happens

Pretty sure Pert was CEO at Collingwood when they lost $1.5m having gone large on 'Side-by-side' merchandise anticipating a GF win.

Hopefully he has learnt some lessons.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
