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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
