Not bad.

Dubdee still well in front with his Conor McKenna post.

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
