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.

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
