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

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

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...

  • 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.
