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 


could he put into $ terms or in terms of his choosing what a premiership would mean relating to

1. our brand

2. Sponsorship

3.Membership

4.Business ventures and opportunities

5. Destination Status for recruiting

6. Joint partnerships with overseas sporting organizations

7. Post playing careers for players

8. Attracting Administrative, Medical or Football related staff

 

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? 

  • Demonland changed the title to PODCAST: Gary Pert Pre-Grand Final Interview
  • Author

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.

That's because it is not on the correct day!

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
