Take this with a massive, massive grain of salt. What a mutt this bloke is.

  1. A #whispers EXCLUSIVE “His head is that far up his own...” A club source today confirmed that the so called “infected dog bite” is a smokescreen for the real reason “CP5” will miss this weekend; he was dropped after concerns about his “arrogant” and egotistical behaviour #AFLAFL18.png

    Petracca underwent minor finger surgery this week and was medically cleared to play this weekend. The decision comes after repeated warnings from club officials, coaches and the leadership group.

    The dog bite, while severe, was not severe enough to miss an AFL game.

Will do.

This is the kind of disinformation that flies about when a club is going through a rough trot.

Collingwood have put with this kind of $h!t for ever, even in good times.

When the vultures get a faint whiff of blood, this is the bull**** that starts to circulate. Hogan's too easy a target ... next we'll hear something about Max, or Oliver.

The specific rumour isn't worrying. It's more that the smell of blood is in the air.

Goody is hell-bent on "Humble" so I would not be shocked.

Yeah, but dropping a player for being arrogant and egotistical? 

I've no doubt Trac is a bit arrogant and maybe has a big ego, but to drop him for that is rubbish.

It's more believable to suggest they kept him out as punishment for not being upfront about the bite. But even that's a billy stretch.

"club officials, coaches and the leadership group"

The days of coaches calling all the shots in isolation finished the day they stopped moving their own cones around, about 50 years ago.

It's still rubbish. More likely he was punished for keeping the injury secret but even that's a billy stretch.

So the guy ... who this week dropped a fan favourite and rusted on best 22 player Garlett

You're defending mediocrity.

Garlett had 6 possessions this week, and 5 the week before. Heaven help us that's what we expect of a "rusted on best 22 player"

He deserved to get dropped, regardless of who made the decision.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
