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

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

    Well said Gary. 
    Wilson was [censored] stirring big time on Classified last night. 
    completely unnecessary 

    We are in Perth to get a job done, it’s not a media circus 

    Communicate to Families, Members and Supporters. The rest can fight over scraps

    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"

    There's a lot of media space to fill between now and the 25th...

    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

    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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
