Maybe the mods removed it.  If so I fear for @beelzebub 's well being

They are thinking about it

:-)

 

Today isn't for dancing on graves and popping champagne corks, not for me anyway.

I think the right decision has been made by all involved and it's now time to look to the future.

Yeah - cos they just haven't been serious.

I think it’s obvious we dropped minimum standards for a number of reasons inclusive of reaching the summit. The team 1st approach across the board as not been there like it was.

 The players should have enough desire after this season to raise the standards again as a group to reach their full potential.

Slightest drop off at AFL level has big implications

This is good but too late

Has left his last two clubs in a mess

Hopefully he has left us in a similar mess to how he left the Pies

  • Lost a GF by a kick the year after he left
  • Won a flag 5 years later

Probably a queue ...

 

Those that cannot praise Pert for the part he played in us winning a flag are just embarrassing themselves

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the change and he has made mistakes but he was here from 2018-2024 and played an important role in us being financially stable and winning a flag

I liked the ambiguity of it.... left some wondering....which ironically... is its aim...

Chairperson and CEO both gone within a month. Both left under a cloud.

Not great by any score

You could feel it coming from the moment he reportedly shopped Oliver around.

Anyway we move forward but hell we are great at turning what should be a glory period for the club into a shambles

Barlow massive positive too. Bonafide billionaire.

Maybe they can both solve the 40 year riddle of finding our way back home to the G. Yarra Park training base back on the cards, perhaps?

If I was a billionaire I can confirm there would be no issue with funding the home base...

What cloud, according to reports they both made the decision to leave, you mean the cloud that Barrett et al like to hang over the club. "supposedly"

Saty

sometimes you need to read between the lines but this time the lines are as wide as broad gauge railway lines.

Anyway as I said let's see what the future brings


"Now is the right time for me and the right time for the club."

Well played Gary Pert on your achievements at the club and in the gracious way in which you are handling your departure given the circumstances.

You steered the club through potentially treacherous waters to win our first AFL/VFL premiership in 57 years, our first AFLW premiership a McClelland Trophy, two further top four finishes, record memberships and unprecedented financial strength. 

We look forward to your seeing us through to the conclusion of negotiations to secure a state-of-the-art training and administration base at Caulfield Racecourse Reserve. 

Thanks to you for all of your efforts for the betterment of the club.

I think him for being part of the team that achieved a flag in my lifetime :).  

I guess looking back he is great in the short term but hasn't developed the skills/knowledge for building a long term sustained culture given his exit from the pies and us.  

Is the consultant a parachute decision to ease the exit for him?

Surely we find a CEO like Jackson who knew to stay out of the FD and let those professionals run it and concentrate on the business side and supporting the staff.

Just been announced Pert is stepping down.  Hope those of you calling for his head are happy.  It's one thing being president, quite another to be CEO, given Pert has been the one that has put the club in its best financial position in the club's history, I hope you all have a competent person in mind to take over.  

Not that I was a Pert-must-go, more a Pert sceptic, I offer you Josh Mahoney. Favoured for the job once before. Now at the AFL.

Only if you say it quickly and don't dig in to the detail.

I was thinking of him. But why would he want to leave the AFL, what is his current role there.

And I hate to admit but maynard was clearly shepherded under the ball and should have received a match saving free. Pert as ceo at the time

It doesn't reflect on how bad our administrations were before Pert, does it?

Good move re caulfield. Such a big job to get the deal then the build  - the club would need to employ a project consultant anyway to lead delivery anyway. May as well be Gary.

 Not the ceo's role 

Can I say I impressed we have another letter to the supporters from Green.... More communication from this interim president than the entire tenure of Roffey...

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
