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

Perhaps the problem isn’t what he’s saying, but the fact that our supporters are so obsessed with constantly [censored] on our club, just like the media.

Yes well I commented before the interview started some would critisise no matter what.

Gary has spoken pretty well, changes will be made 

He can’t say too much

Mostly waffle. 

So what did you want him to say, word for word please

So it should be; playing out in the media is killing us. Get it back in house.

I thought Pert was as honest as he could be there.

I wonder why?


Anger is an energy - John Lydon 

Interesting that he mentioned Trac’s role. I wonder if Trac is annoyed that he copped that injury playing up forward, which is a role he doesn’t want to play.

Great song, love PIL

Channel the energy for positive change, build an 'us vs everyone' mentality and attack next year with everything we've got.

We need to back up the playing group with a few shrude trades for obvious missing cogs (an experienced key forward as a minimum and a developing genuine backup for Max in case of injury) and work on an aggressive attacking game style to generate excitement in our game.

Maybe it means role around the club. More of a say and leadership responsibilities.

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 

To be fair, he said the "this is the best culture I've seen in 40 years in the game" were in the context of questions they were being asked about the Joel Smith situation and whether that was a reflection on the club culture rather than an individual behavioural issue .

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. 
 

 

Ceo speak is you're fired. Needs to be some decent firings.

I doubt that he was referring to a positional role. It's more about Trac being a senior player, and his influence within the playing group.

So hypothetically, what if Trac tells Pert that he has an issue with Goody's gameplan? Or he's concerned with the direction of the club in terms of our poor recruiting in recent years? Pert can't direct Trac's concerns to the respective departments. It undermines the authority of those people in the roles.

This is why an independent/external review of the club is needed. The fact that a CEO has to address the concerns of a player suggests that all is not well.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
