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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
