In that article, Robbo makes this extraordinary comment:-

IMG_6886.thumb.jpeg.dc5a6b4691ef57f260f14db487195d88.jpeg

1. I don’t believe this accurately reflects the situation.

2. The comment more accurately describes public reaction to Robbo’s dismissal from AFL360.

Ahhhh good riddance

    Bartel is head of footy at Caulfield Grammar. He won't be working for Melbourne too...

    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

    Be the same people who put the 2021 flag down as a fluke or Yze’s coaching 

    Nothing is ever isolated to 1 individual in success many factors over period of time inclusive of many bumps along the way

    The guy is delusional. 

    I still remember him carrying on like he is now a week before Mark Neeld was sacked stomping his foot around telling everyone what a great coach Neeld was, and was openly critical of anyone here who said otherwise.

    This is Saty at his absolute element. 

    Favourite word, meaning- doesn't agree with Daz.         actually Neeld was a good coach tactically but lost the players, tried to be Malthouse and that era had passed...why Malthouse was the disaster at Carlton.

    Element -  trying to put an alternate viewpoint, and not being bullied or cowed by the small cohort who seem to think they rule this forum.

    Pert needs to be praised for what he did for this club, same with Roffey, it became inevitable both would be out....just to give Brad Green and the new Board some clear air.

    Hopefully the Footy Dept will get their [censored] together this year.

    Of course we shouldn’t expect or need both the new CEO and Board interfering with on field issues, the one concern I have with Steve Smith.

    Of course I am at a disadvantage as I don't have Morris, Barrett et al on my social media notifications, so I can't parrot their opinions, interestingly I form my own

    So, what was there to communicate about?

    We were informed about the court cases.

    Some on here are seriously sad.

    It is better to not to give oxygen to media stories.

    Brad Green is communicating to clear the air from all the rubbish that has been floating around.

     

    Wait... so you are suggesting the last administration had good communication to the supporters?

    We were entering the era of the modern player, shouting or openly criticising doesn't work.

    I sat directly behind him at a Darwin game, what he was saying made sense but not the way it was delivered.

    Another protege Scott, can't remember the surname,  had the same issue at St Kilda.

    Watters - didn't last long at the Saints because he was a very ordinary coach and appalling with player relations.

    I held the view that the moment Pert started calling clubs directly to shop Oliver following Goody and Gawn speaking about how they love him and back him, a divide was created that could only end with one of Pert or Goodwin leaving the club. 

    Hnmm one leg of the daily double has sailed!

    Depends on whether supporters could be arsed reading anything.

    Perfect example, I sponsor one of the younger players, until he made his debut, supporters would say who when they asked who I sponsored

    Most are only knowledgeable about the game on the weekend and whether the team wins, of course impacting their multi.

    I have plenty of communications fro the Club, about important things, not giving oxygen to media waffle

    I think that this decision by Gary Pert is the best for all parties.

    He did a great job for numerous years at the Demons as CEO.

    However, for whatever reason, things sadly seemed to unravel after our Premiership glory in 2021.

    Was it hubris? Was it drinking our own bath water? Was it the excitable belief of a "Demons Dynasty?"

    Anyway, the alleged "shopping around" of Clayton Oliver this off-season and the odd falsehood saying the Demons had "the best culture he had ever seen" was probably the beginning of the end for Gary Pert.

    Nevertheless, I am glad he is staying on in a consultancy role for our Home Base at Caulfield Racecourse.

    I wish Gary Pert all the best in his future retirement.

    Hopefully, we choose an excellent candidate to take over as the Demon's new CEO in season 2025.

    Imagine supporting a boring club, at least there’s something always happening at the MFC to get us through the off season.

    Who is this boring club you speak of, deadly curious, any club with a pulse has a bin fire somewhere. Only boring club I can think of is Tasmania as they don't have a single contracted player, Just Brendan, Grant, a board and a comms/membership team (who probably misbehave on weekends as well).

    Oh dear, had to make it personal again Daz, disappointed he' s gone, did some great things for club, thought it may be inevitable, give the club some clear air.

    Glad he will be still involved with Caulfield 

    Of course something more disappointing and inevitable is some of the ungracious [censored] posted by some.

    I'm surprised you & Goffy haven't already started a petition to bring Roffey & Pert back.

    If I was a multi-billionaire I’d buy an entire suburb, build a training base and give each player a ‘rehabilitation building’…………that’s no different than what Geelong do, right?

    I’d just make the point that if the man involved in the review couldn’t save his job it’s indicative that a change was well overdue.

    "Green said the review did not recommend Pert go."

    • 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.
