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!

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
