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

    You won't be proved wrong and you know 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?

    Cameron Schwab always spoke well too.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
