Thank you PJ. You've saved this club, hope you get to reap the reward.

The greatest news to hear. I really hope PJ is around if we ever achieve success, he deserves it as much as anyone.

Very much a melbourne person now. Took the job at the AFL request, embraced the challenge, but seemingly ended up falling in love with the place too

Awesome, great to hear PJ will be steering the bandwagon for another couple years.

I'm actually more worried about losing this bloke than I am about the Goodwin Roos transaction
The club as a whole is just so different since he took over

 

[Sando22]

Has made a marked difference from the minute he arrived.
Cannot underestimate his role in ensuring the coaching handover was completely seamless also.
Unlike our mates across the road who ballsed it up.

Great news, really want him on board long term.

I'd quite like to see him on our Board of Directors after he's had enough of the CEO gig.

He said "go the mighty Dees" to me when I walked past him in town wearing a Melbourne cap. I feel special now.

After being CEO at a very powerful and successful club in Essendon I think he is relishing the challenge to turn us into just that. I have loved how realistic he has been with the goals he has set and how he talks about the club, so much better than s**t like Schwab waffling on and ignoring anything negative.

How many times did you have to "walk past him"?

How many times did you have to "walk past him"?

Just the once - though I did employ some meaningful eye contact, eyebrow waggles, winks etc while pointing at my hat whistling grand old flag and so forth

Subtle. That's you.

By 'walked past' you mean confronted and by 'town' you mean his living room, yeah?

 

[Crimson Azure]

Ciggies for everyone!

And a suit.

No way.

When I say walked past someone in town, I MEAN was skulking around their wheelie bins.

That post changed. I swear it did.

 

[PerfectFooty]

That post changed. I swear it did.

It shifted before our very eyes.

Also add jewellers to the list

 

[Demon 16]

This is the bloke who went and got Paul Roos in the first place.

He's been immense.

 

[Sprout]

I love him.

I'm not kidding. I actually love him.
