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

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
