I’m sure it will be your normal political jargon straight from the CEO’s handbook of generic answers which won’t allude to much and still leave a lot of questions for supporters.

Please prove me wrong Gary.

    pert always presents well in the media

    he knows how to massage the narrative - be at at the mfc, the cfc, or sca

    but there's a difference between massaging the narrative and managing the circumstances that have led to it

    Hasn’t come across great, and it’s hard to given the very strong cultural statements made at the start of the season which are being played back to him

    Putting a fair amount on the shoulders of the leadership group, who will be “driving the rebuild of the program, led by Gawn & Viney”

    Just more spin. End of the day. I wouldn’t expect anything more or less - straight bat. We asked leadership from the club, this is about as good as it gets.

    I wouldn’t go that far. What do you expect the CEO to say?

    Exactly. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. 
    Everyone screaming for our CEO or president to speak and when they do they complain.

    I think a few on here want him  to say everything is [censored] and everyone will be sacked.

    Pert here is on a hiding to nothing. He knows that every person is trawling for headlines so he has to walk a narrow path

    I think Pert's in a no win situation here, at least with a lot of people on this site.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
