I can see the Pies asking harder questions about Weideman now that we have Brown. 
 

Not Trac. 

And, perhaps, we should consider their offer; the reason? I doubt whether the Weed will show much improvement. It could have been expected that he'd be a better, more complete player by now. He just ain't. Patience is a virtue, at the end of the day ... but time waits for no KPF known in footy. 

If the Filth are as sentimental as they project, then surely there could be a considerable offer for the Weed with his heritage?

    His purple patch this year came when Jackson was sharing some of the load. Once LJ was injured he had no help and his form dropped away. Let’s see how he goes in 2021 when BB takes the best defender. I’ve reservations as well but I think his output will improve with BB on aboard.

    Agreed. Weideman had 2-3 opponents on him full time once LJ was injured 

    It wasn’t hard to see why his output dropped off

    Family are big pies supporters, & he grew up one. Not that that means anything.

    How many AFL players end up playing for the club they followed when they were boys? Very few I suspect. The draft doesn’t work that way and the kids know and accept the situation! (Christian Salem and family were all keen Essendon supporters but they all support Melbourne now)!

    It never worked that way, zones often had kid living in areas that where not in their teams zone, David parkin was a demon cheer squad member

    Listen champ, to even SUGGEST one of the comps premier players has committed to COLLINGWOOD 2yrs out from when he is out of contract, is loopy as hell!!!

    But to act like it’s some sort of moral, is downright moronic.

    CP is a demon and is preparing for a massive year for club and self, anything else is nothing more than scuttlebutt

    Last time I heard, Trac’s family still go for the Pies?

    Did I say he had committed to the pies did I? Can you actually show this direct quote? You're the only [censored] that mentioned anything remotely of Petracca leaving. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

    Go back and actually read what I was replying to. It actually had nothing to do with Petracca at all but more so that Collingwood will continue to bring in players regardless of what went on during the trade period.

    You embarrassed yourself over the trade period when you threw several darts but didn't land any and now you're embarrassing yourself with this post.

    Life was so less stressful when we were completely rubbish and nobody tried to poach our players through free agency ??‍♂️

    Jesus I saw this thread had popped up and was on 4 pages already, I was sure that there was going to be an article at the top and some substantial information. Instead it’s barely a gut feeling!

    If we’re successful next year then I doubt Trac is going anywhere, and even if we’re mediocre he actually strikes me as someone that genuinely just loves playing with his teammates.

    And the pies may have a natural power about them but the way they’ve treated Treloar may well cost them in the future.

    I'm sure there's someone smarter and funnier than me who can turn this into a gag about Mason Cox and his 2nd amendment rights.

    An Englishman, an Irishman, the Pope, and Eddie McGuire walk into a bar.

    On the counter is a huge stuffed polar bear.

    The Englishman says, I say, barman. Did you know there's a huge stuffed polar bear on the counter?

    The Irishman says, Begorrah. That little turncoat lied to me. Him and his dorty fadder.

    The Pope says, Petracca, he a good-a Catholic-a boy. He no-a go to the *hack-ptuih* Mag-a-pies.

    Eddie McGuire says, anyone know any good King Kong jokes?

    The barman says, so did the last bloke who came in here and tried to use his 2nd amendment rights!

    If Trac does go, after 8 years, the regret will be all his.

    P. S. Will his idol, Buckley, even be there? Think about it Trac.

    Agree. They have shown themselves to be untrustworthy and players and managers will think twice before dealing with them after seeing how Treloar and Stephenson were treated. With time it'll be forgotten but i don;t see them signing any Fa's over the next couple of years.

    The players have memories like goldfish and might champ at the bit to play with the mighty pies, but as long as the current admin is in place, the managers will be cautious. They have memories like elephants.

    With Salem l would say yes !  My reasoning was that goal he kicked against the side he and his Family supported that sealed the game from 30 metres out with around a minute to spare.  Did his Family wish that he kicked that goal ?   Was it his first game? 

     I will ask Christian at Family day.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
