The MFC aren't exactly great with comms, so don't bet on it.

They're pretty handy with a sob story email though 👍

    Guaranteed. AFL HQ control the media and Geelong, Collingwood and Carlton are their faves. 

    There is some history repeating here though.  We cant seem to hold on or foster decent players through a crisis it seems.

    Some end up leaving and turn it around at other club (clubs who are better at doing so?) and end up turning their footy career around.

    The latest Clazz saga feels like history repeating for me.

    A large part of why we are where we are on this of course might be on Claz but the question has to be asked, why us so often?

    We just don't feel like a destination club for whatever reason, even after a recent premiership.

    Quite sad really.  We had a great opportunity post 2021 and it's looking more and more like we may have blown it.

    Whatever happens we can’t involve our 2025 first round pick in any trade as it will be pick 1. 

    Richmond Under 19s say hi!

    It’s really becoming like the Watts situation. Much loved fan favourite, all the talent in the world, someone you’d love to have a beer with, but just not professional enough. 
     

    it’s a huge fall from grace for Clarry as coaching department inclusive of the Roos era we’re saying he was the most professional and competitive person they had ever seen. 

    I remember thinking we got rolled for the Jack watts Trade, but the player brought in for him Fritsch, we don’t win the flag without him. 
     

    I’m sad to see him go as I love our players. But I’m missing the player we was 2 years ago, not the one he is now who can’t even poll 1 brownlow vote in a season.

    It appears we want him gone

    Who is “we” exactly though? 

    Because Goodwin apparently doesn’t. 

    If we’re to believe him, forces higher up are about to strip him of a club champion. A champion who he believes he can still manage and return him to his best form. 

    So either that’s not how he really feels, or the club are officially saying they have no confidence he can. 

    This all fits in with the notion that one of Goodwin’s characteristics is being “mates” with the players. 

    I can’t help but be reminded of the teachers I had in high school who wanted to be “in” with the students (“the ones who’d say “None of that ‘mister’ stuff, call me Steve”). You liked them but you didn’t fear them, and you were often trying to find out where the boundaries actually were.

    If Clarry goes and pert stays I am officially out. It will give me much more time on weekends to work on playing on the champions tour. The short game still needs work.

    Anyone who’s going to the B&F should stand up as one & tell the MFC to get stuffed.

    We the supporters have been treated like rabbits droppings for 18 months.

    The handling of the players & the clubs finances has been nothing short of appalling & we get nothing from these bludgers

    Well blow me away.. not surprised one bit.

    This is going to be an absolute distraction each and every year he's with us.

    Either the leadership group are too weak to control him or they're simply just fed up and had enough of his [censored].

    Clearly he's not willing to grow up.

    Happily support the club on this if they decided to trade him.

    Yeah - that Max Gawn and Viney and May and TMac and Milkshake are all hopeless.

    Oh please. Don't act like it's a solid rock hard leadership group, far from it.

    Under their watch there have been significant off field issues for the last couple of year.

    They absolutely need to take some sort of responsibility for the mess along with the football department as well.

    This makes me hate Trac even more. Doesn't like his behaviour but has no issue with the player, just the club? Makes no [censored] sense.

    Go after Connor O'Sullivan. 19yo, 198cm defender, pick #11 in the 2023 draft.

    Currently he's not even the first reserve option at the Cats, SDK didn't play in the prelim, so O'Sullivan is a way down the pecking order. He can come to the Dees and learn from May and Lever, and would likely play next year. He'd be ready to go as our #1 defender when May is eventually done.

    Oliver -> O'Sullivan and Geelong's 2025 first.

    You heard it here first...that deal Plus..... Picket Fence training reports plus evocative and thought provoking narratives at CATLAND in 2025

    I'm completely fed up with our club. What a debacle. If Clarry leaves we ain't contenders any time soon.

    Trac will leave next year and we go thru this [censored] again 

    Cooneys call to get Trac out now as sickening as it is might be best with such a good talent pool this draft. Finish bottom 6 again most likely but I couldn't care less as long as we have players who want to be involved in getting some credibility back to what is an absolute laughing stock club .

    What a rabble. Time to reset.

    I'm having my 2 bobs worth. We should toughen up and tell Oliver he stays as a Demon and get your act together. See you on 1st day of preseason training. Only thing to do UNLESS some fantastic offer is made to us otherwise, we play hard ball.

    What perplexes me is how can the coach Simon Goodwin and the CEO Gary Pert be on different pages?!

    Shouldn't Simon Goodwin be making these decisions? If he wants Clayton Oliver to stay a Demon then he should do so.

    Gary Pert should not be contradicting what Simon Goodwin wants. That will only cause further drama and resentment.

    This speculation is not helping the Melbourne Football Club at all. In fact, it is ripping the Club apart regarding a beloved player in Clayton Oliver.

    We need to see leadership from those in charge at the Melbourne Football Club. We want to know what the hell is going on?!

    If Gary Pert is behind pushing out Clayton Oliver then Gary Pert needs to be sacked!

    I suggest all Melbourne supporters who are angry with CEO Gary Pert regarding this whole fiasco about Clayton Oliver to send him an email.

    One theory: Goodwin has to say he still wants Clarry in case a deal doesnt get done.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
