    Interesting listen. Sam McClure tried to get at who the leaker was with the ‘are you comfortable that the board leaker has left the club’ question.

    Yes the board leaker has left the club…

    Hope we can all glean from that who the real Demons are…

    There is no doubt from his response that they know who leaked the documents. Now we just need someone to leak that name 😉

    Confidential board documents + No longer at the club =  B-----tt

    At least he waited until last season was over and we won the cup before spilling the beans.

    Could have seriously set us back years or even a decade if he had done it during 2021 and possibly we lost our coach.

    Small mercies.

    I think we all know who has recently left the board in acrimony.

    Luci, after listening twice, nowhere did Pert say the perpetrator has left the club. That’s just a conclusion that the posters on here have drawn (which may yet turn out to be correct), but we shouldn’t be putting words into Perts mouth that he didn’t say.

    In my defence, I didn't attribute the 'no longer at the club' to Pert.   And you are quite right Pert didn't use those words nor directly answer the question.

    I took Pert's response (to the question 'that the person is no longer at the club' @ 7.10 minute mark) along the lines of it is ...something that we dealt with...its not reflective of events in recent times...he has never seen the organisation as aligned as it is now... (my abbreviating and paraphrasing) as an indication the answer was:  that person(s) is/are in the past.

    But sure, I can see how Pert's comments could be interpreted differently.

    At the Coterie season launch last Friday night Mike Sheehan interviewed Goodwin.

    Right up front Mike addressed the media issue and leaks etc and how Goodwin and club were handling perosnally over the last few weeks. Goodwin said "...We all know where the leak came from..."  and I've move on type of response after that quote, the journalist in question didn't even call me for a quote/comment. etc.   

    He seems to have had great support and Roffey in her speech had a quiet level of fury and contempt at the articles and intent. She can be on my side anytime in a fight.

    Lots of people in the room were nodding, so maybe most insiders know and lets get o with 2022.

    maybe I was the only one in the room that didn't know.

    While Pert didn't say the person had left the club, he chose two key words in response to the question as to whether the person who leaked had left the club.  He said the situation had been ''dealt with'' and that he'd never been at a more unified club.

    It's patently clear they're gone.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
