The resurrection of the Melbourne Football Club, with Peter Jackson.
This is the inside story of the Melbourne Football Club’s resurrection, from the man who answered the AFL’s SOS call in the Demons’ darkest hour.

He oversaw magnificent off-field success, growing the club’s asset base from $2.6 million to $19 million.
