The market for AFL CEO’s, or any other CEO for that matter, is small. Digging heels in and going against the grain isn’t a wise strategy from a future employment prospects point of view.

 Pert read the room and made the smart decision. He’ll be back in a job soon enough.

don't forget he is on record as saying he intended originally on finishing up mid year in 2025 anyway, so i doubt 6 months salary was any big deal

As a consultant for the potential Caulfield move DC he could be around for some time. He will get more than his 6 month salary.

I thought George had left a couple of years ago to start up his own business. Has he returned to the fold.

George is doing part time fund raising for the club, as well as running his own business.

could well be, od

theoretically though they are trying to wrap up the business case side of it by mid 25

still plenty to do after that of course

[i'm sure they are well aware of the urgency and your impatience] 😁

It became clear after the review that Pert’s job as CEO became untenable, he did the right thing. The problems of the last 18-24 months were real, and we needed to clear the Decks

I have been very impressed with the way Brad Green has handled the situation so far….

After 40 years I don't think it can be called impatient. Incredulous yes.

If someone's incompetent or stinking the place up you don't keep them on for 2 months in the same role, nor employ them beyond that period as a consultant. 

Pretty clear that Pert hasn't been sacked.

Equally true that a change at the top and some fresh blood isn't unwelcome. Provided we get the right person.

It has been mentioned a number of times already But I want to reiterate how great it is to receive regular email updates from our President that are pleasant, firm, concise informative and timely that actually address our concerns and ease our anxiety. Hard to believe this man was that pimply faced 18 year old kid that kicked 4 goals for us in that win over Carlton in the elimination final in 2000. He has stepped up again when we needed him most.

Agree wholeheartedly. it's only be a few weeks but it feels like Brad's doing a very good job  rebuilding trust among the supporter/membership base

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
