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!

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
