We cannot lose Trac.  our forward line cannot take another hit after losing Hogan.

he has plenty of scope for improvement and is finally getting consistent. his next 5 years will be very good

do what you need to to keep him MFC

This was some rubbish rumor posted by some Nuff named Stu on his Melbourne News page. It's complete BS!

Says it all. Thanks Philthy.

    I’ve heard bulldogs are in to him and have offered him more midfield time. Not sure how credible.

    How long before every club is into him?

    Trac’s manager: “Hi Goody, a number of teams have enquired into Christian, he’s happy at Melbourne but he wants more time in the midfield, these teams are offering Christian the chance to play as a pure mid. What can Melbourne do?” 

    Goody: (staring blankly at the clock on the wall behind the manager’s head for a minute and a half) Ummmmmmm, I’d like to say I have an answer but I don’t. Look, just tell him it’s about the ‘journey’ and ‘the four walls’ but really stress the journey part.”

    Don't think there is much to this, he wanted more midfield time and was frustrated with how the team went this year like everyone. but sounds like they're on the same page with that now.

    Unless...maybe he wants out because his best mate Brayshaw is going to request a trade..?giphy.gif?cid=19f5b51a75dfb27d36128cd4ca

    The last thing the Dogs need are more midfielders.  Reckon they have one of the best in the comp right now.

    Scratch that. Trac is huge. Could easily fit the cats in him.

    Another team will turn Petracca into a star.

    I would cry myself to sleep if I was a top 10 pick drafted by the Dees and I grew up dreaming about playing for the Dees.

    Supporter comments like that is why we are such a naff club to start with.

    I’ve said for a while now that I believe we have become just a feeder team for the bigger clubs. It just feels like the afl is becoming the epl more and more. Afl don’t really care either, bigger club’s success means more money for them. We are not a big club

    That is correct ....and a retirement village for the maturing and semi-retired.

    We are over a barrel copping it from both ends courtesy of Gil Tse-Tung, others before him and a fair contribution by ourselves over many decades.

    with that statement - like your handle pal - u got to be kidding,  yourself...

    please link how supporters comments influence the melbourne football clubs 'naffness'.

     

    ps... just on Petracca. Any club in the league (including Melbourne) asks about everyone whom they think could fit their list profile, so it's a bit like hitting the dancefloor as a single person, and you see someone grooving around in a hot outfit - you only take em home, if they're keen too... 

    Surely as a football society - we have moved on from the romantic notion of a Chris Grant version of loyalty, from both players to clubs and clubs to players.

    I'm with ugottobekiddong on this one. Supporters whingeing that we are hard done by impacts how our club is viewed within the broader AFL community.  Stop being naffs and playing the victim and start looking at what we can do.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
