Firstly, I would like someone to ask the CEO Gary Pert about the progress for the Melbourne Football Club's home base for administration and training next to Gosch's Paddock.

If you could please ask Gary Pert the question if he could clarify if our home base will be built at car park E or the much more preferred car park F? Tell him that car park F makes for more sense and that car park E would only work if we were allowed both car park E and car park F to build upon. The more room to build the better.

Also ask if the name of the training base could possibly be called the Nathan Jones' training centre? Furthermore, we should have a statue of Nathan Jones (or perhaps David Neitz?) similar to how Collingwood have a statue of Lou Richards at the Holden Centre.

Has Gary Pert been looking at the objective of achieving 70,000+ members for the Melbourne Football Club within the next 5 years?

Lastly ask if there has been any news from the MCC about possibly having a statue of Robbie Flower at the MCG?

    i'd be curious to hear what his role is within the club on grand final week? does he provide much support to the players, or leave it mostly to the coaches and FB dept? 

    what the general feeling is within the club? confident, nervous, or it hasn't really sunk in we're 5 days out from the best chance to win a flag we've had in decades

    I would love to know what long term list planning they have going on. I doubt he would tell us who we are targeting in the off season, but just more around do we keep recruiting and trading for the now, or are we focused on long term sustained success by going for younger player and the draft?

    Just thought I would let the LIVE listeners know that I will just be releasing this interview as a podcast rather than playing it LIVE.

    Tomorrow night (Tuesday 21/9) we'll be doing our LIVE Grand Final Preview Show and I might play the interview at the end of that show. Otherwise you can listen to it via Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts or whether you get your podcasts from.

    Maybe you could float your idea that all GFG members get their photo taken with the cup (if we win of course). I thought this was a ripper of an idea.

    We had a change of plans. We were going to play the interview prior to the preview show on Monday 20/9 but decided to release the interview as a separate podcast on Monday 20/9 and do the LIVE preview show on Tuesday 21/9.

    Thanks guys.  All the right questions to Perty, and the answers I wanted to hear.  My confidence is growing, albeit at a slightly slower pace than the nervous tension ....... but I wouldn't want it any other way!

    I feel better after hearing Pert speak

    The Club is ready to execute what needs to be done 

    Early goals….

    Just started listening, really interested in his comment about being away from Melbourne is helping the team.

    I 100% agree with this, all the MFCSS veil of negativity types would be such a drain on the players if they were in Melbourne, so I think it could be the best thing for us.

    Also Melbourne as a city is a very depressing place to be. The weight of expectations to deliver joy to the millions of sad sacks locked inside would be very crippling. 
    Would be easy to have it out of sight and out of mind in WA.

    The Grand Final was always scheduled on the 25th was it not?

    The only thing that changed this year was the placement of the pre-finals bye to the pre-Grand Final bye. 

    Correct my error.

    Yes but your poster says Tuesday the 20/09 Tuesday is still the 21 st

    Good to hear that we should be making a profit of around $1 million (if I heard that correctly?) after projecting we would have been just breaking even a couple of months ago.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
