He's pretty extraordinary the old Pert. He saw premierships at both Collingwood and Melbourne but soiled the club the years after that both flags are easily forgotten in the midst of what was going on. Should be shown the door ASAPI posted this on the Pies board years ago.
I was told by multiple people that Gary Pert was the biggest problem at Collingwood,
Eddie was the only person he got along with.
He created problems and relationship breakdowns and was never wrong, always blaming someone else.
Once the club got rid of him (he was given the option leave or be sacked) the club improved dramatically on and off the field.
He was described as a cancer in an internal review that was done from an outside company.
I'm absolutely amazed he is still at Melbourne, I'm amazed he has any role in the AFL.
