Time to go Gary Pert

Gee, he's gone hard:

There have been no smiles at Melbourne for a very long time. Only disappointment, in-fighting, and most damningly, hurt. Someone needs to take control of this mess, and in my eyes, Gary Pert, the CEO since 2018, needs to be removed in order to begin that process.

    Prior to Pert's appointment which was massaged by the AFL, the front runner for Melbourne CEO was then footy manager Josh Mahoney who was the football department's preference.

    If Pert departs I hope Mahoney, who is currently at AFL HQ, is at least given the chance to be heard should he be interested.

    Josh Mahoney was a cancer in the club and went to Essendon and was equally problematic.

    Peter Jackson rated him very highly.

    On MMM this morning Gawn seemed to suggest the leaks were coming from the list mgmt committee (10 people). Surely the club needs to identify the rat and get rid of them.

    My concern is around the retention of Oliver should that arise against all the negativities of the moment insofar that will Clayton be able to contribute his 120% to the game onfield - attitudinally moreso than physically - and who, other than Gawny and Tracca will be able to inspire him to his past excellence to that end?

    What makes you say that? I've only ever heard good things (albeit most of that is on here or through the media).

    Mahoney left Essendon because he clashed with Dodoro. Do you really think Mahoney was the problem there?

    Clarry will not be a problem if he can get fit and his famous determination will always be a feature of his play. 

    That is also up to the club to have him cherry ripe to return to his best on ball football. 

    Once the footy starts Clarry will have plenty to do and all or most of the claptrap subsides he can and will concentrate accordingly. 

    If only these boring and smart a..e journalists looked at Essendon and Pies issues as critically as ours they would not have to keep inventing statements every third day to keep these alleged bushfires burning.

    How do you know Pert's appointment was massaged by the AFL? That's not my understanding.

    As others have said, never heard anything but complimentary words said about Mahoney. That's not to say that FTB is wrong, but I trust PJ. I'd argue the best administrator we've ever had. 

    Maybe FTB heard it from sources that Mahoney held to account? We certainly don't have that sort of discipline anymore within our FD.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
