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.

    Terrible! Particularly after the handshake agreement to take less money

    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 !

    Yeah, you can see Troy waving when Long’s hips got X-rayed the next week.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
