The reason Collingwood are going great.
Pert out, Walsh in!!!
Simple.
Good luck Melbourne.
You may need to wait until 2064 to win your next flag.
100 years without silverware sounds great to me. |

Very unfair and without any factual basis whatsoever. Stupid post.

Mate you haven't a clue.
My inside info was quite clear about Pert.
But I don't care what you think. |

^ I must have missed it, MC. I would not be surprised if it was true, since he was the first casualty of the review.
What was the info ?

him leaving (and being the fall guy), probably was enough to save Eddie and Nathan. Business (and Footy Admin) is as much a PR battle with the public as anything else. Very rarely are the casualties the true culprits (and they are never the sole culprits).
In Collingwood's case, i think they needed a head on the platter because the masses were too impatient to wait to see if the plan we implemented was going to work. The masses got restless before Eddie/Nathan had finished implementing their plan. It turns out the plan was a good one and it was only one year off. But the masses had to be appeased and so Pert was offered up as the sacrificial lamb. It seems the firing of Pert and trying to put the blame on his shoulders worked to appease the masses.
And now we are all happy with the plan.
Obviously, its not as simple as that. But i think putting all of the blame on Pert (or for that matter pretending Longmuir is the reason Scharenberg is turning into an All Australian half back we all knew he could be) is naive, gullible and probably off base.....

Anyone who thinks he was just the “scapegoat” needs to have a better think about the direction of the club in the last 5-6 years.
Diabolical and uninspiring.
1. Star Athletic (how many new he was an owner of the company)
2. Drugs crusade (whilst the club with the biggest issue just won premierships)
3. Assistant coaches on one year contracts
4. Surrounding a rookie coach with rookie assistants 🤔
5. Unimaginative vision. Our turnover hasn’t increased in years and membership is stagnant. Yes we weren’t playing great, but even in our poorest years our membership rose.
Pert was an anchor and I for one am glad he is gone.
No more jobs for the boys.

Remember the history of the Pies appointment?
From the president's biography:
"After an emotional win, McGuire was a wreck. A memo he later sent to players and staff seemed to indicate he was ready to hand over the presidency while he was running a TV network in Sydney. At least that's what the players thought. 'You could say I'm agonising over this because it's an agonising thing,' he told The Age. 'Because I've loved every minute of it and if there is any possible way I could continue, I would and will. But my major focus now has to be as CEO of the Nine Network.' Board member Gary Pert and former player Craig Kelly's names emerged as possible presidents - and would continue to do so for another nine years.
...
The person eventually poached to replace Swann .. caused McGuire more friction. Board member Gary Pert ... had been reluctant to even join the board because the media executive thought football was unsophisticated compared to the business world. McGuire's board featuring millionaire business people convinced him otherwise, so he was ripe to be appointed CEO of Collingwood, leaving his role as CEO of the Nine Network's Melbourne operation. McGuire was his boss in both positions and the Australian Shareholders Association expressed its opinion there was an apparent conflict of interest.
...
'I don't have a conflict of interest...,' McGuire said.'I have a deep, abiding love for this football club, as I do for the Nine Network ... I would never do anything to harm either of those institutions.'
It was an issue for the club, though, with the acting CEO, Arocca, expected to get the job. He resigned when he knew he had been overlooked, only to be convinced to stay at the club after all."
[Thank Peter Murphy that this is not how the new Pies CEO was appointed.] |

| It's all water under the bridge to me. The facts are he was CEO when we won our last premiership. That was more Malthouse, Butters and Hine to me than anything that Pert did, but he was in charge so credit to him. We move on with a new CEO in Anderson and for me Anderson is doing a great job already, so I'm very happy with the review of the football department last year and I wish Pert well because he has the right to continue to work in the football industry so I wish him well at Melbourne FC. |

'Former Magpies premiership coach Mick Malthouse told ABC Grandstand he was surprised at the appointment as he understood that Pert's time at Collingwood had not ended well.
"I am surprised that he got a job so quickly back in the football industry," Malthouse said.
"There was a lot of hostility when he left [Collingwood] and a lot of things they said they needed to get right."
Malthouse conceded that he fell out with Pert during end of his time as Magpies coach when Nathan Buckley was appointed to succeed him but said he didn't think he would return to the AFL scene so quickly.
"I have to say I am very surprised." '
