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.

    Plenty in 2021

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
