Interesting story about how we recruited him and how he worked hard on his game to become a Brownlow Medalist and then how we lost him due to financial and salary cap issues. 

It never seemed right to me that he played out his career at Collingwood.

Brief mention of his family but not of the fact that Taj could be in the AFL system next year.

    One of the worst decisions ever made by the MFC. 

    He should have NEVER been traded. 

    Disgusting decision.

    I had forgotten Woey went off with a hammy in the 2000 GF.

    Essendon were the best team all year but we had Whelan miss through injury, Brad Green get punched in the throat by that thug Wallace and Woey do a hammy.

    They were young at the time but all the best players of a generation at Melbourne.

    At least if someone punches Oliver or Petracca this year they will cop it back harder.

    Not so sure.

    Petracca is no hard man, and every time someone beats Oliver in a physical contest he throws himself on the ground pretending to spew.

    I pity anyone trying to get between Clayton Oliver and a premiership on grand final day.

    I love his contest, don't get me wrong. And he is definitely not soft. I just would not characterize him as someone who will belt a bloke back for whacking him.

    On grand final day, he won't care. He'll just get the ball and get the ball and keep doing that until we win.

    Never had respect after that, at all for the thug that did that, before he was a very good footballer. No respect for him or his causes after that. Tainted !

    I didn't mean if a thug like Wallace hit Petracca in this finals series Petracca would hit him back. But whoever did will have it coming back to them. Viney is sharpening his elbow with pool chaulk at the moment.

    Oliver is 21 votes off the most coaches votes ever with 3 games to go. I don't think that's from throwing himself on the ground and pretending to spew.

    Watching closely, I reckon Oliver gets a lot of whack's all day long, many in the guts and ribs.

    In a physical contest he goes in hard. When hit off the ball cheaply and unexpectedly, I'm not concerned if he does go down.

    I haven't read/heard anything recently; my recollection was that they asked him to take less money, he said no, they organised a trade, then he called up and said "I would have taken less money if you needed!" but they considered it too late. I'd be interested to know the other story?

    Viney, Maysie, Hibbo can be real confrontational add Vanders into the equation would send shivers down spines in September.

    Vanders might be a sneaky chance to cause some carnage at the backend of the season.

    It would have been great to sit in the middle of the Pies cheer squad listening to the toothless wonders screaming out. " Go Woey !!!!!!! "

    My recollection is his manager saw a big pay day.

    Bern saying this about Viney all year perfect for finals and the GF dance.

    He spoke about it on the interview yesterday. He went over to Danihers house and they asked him to take less which he agreed to on a handshake agreement.  He then got a call a week later from his manager saying he was being traded

    Off topic but mentioned within the thread…..

    One of the things that will take Petracca’s game to the next level is a touch of mongrel. Not of course intentionally smacking someone but rather using his size to run in straight lines and take a few casualties, tackle super hard or angrily remonstrate if a team mate goes down unfairly. That earns onfield respect and makes opposition players a bit wary.

    I cringe when I see him all buddy buddy and smiling with oppo players during a match. Fire up son! Save the niceties for after the game.

    The treatment of Woey was a culture killer, I’ve got no doubt about that. It has shades of what the Pies have don’t to Trelor, but even worse was the way we went about it. No class at all from us.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
