How can you be sure no one is talking to Morris? Because he [censored] off a few people at the club 10 years ago? Seems like a stretch. Most of the people who are at the club now wouldn't have been there for that episode and the ones who were are probably over it by now.

A lot of the reports to me have felt like clumsy attempts from our side to set the narrative. I think there are people within the club who think they can use the media like a tool to run their agendas.

Max sets the trend with Media Moggots, if he reckons they are, then they are.

    I don't care who is leaking to the media , they need to get kicked out asap, certain groups have a good way of dealing with people who open their mouths.

    Yes but how do you shut down the player managers???

    The snippet from Tom Morris about Oliver's agents approaching the club about being open to a trade midway through the season seems like new news? I mostly read the few bookmarked posters I had here during the year as it's a bit hard to keep up in-season, but that seems like new information does it not? It also goes completely contrary to the club's narrative at that time about him being embraced and 'back in love' with the club.

    Oliver obviously had a well below average year by his standards, and 100% completely of his own doing, but I wonder if perhaps things are so bad at the MFC that he wanted out simply due to that?

    It certainly exonerates the club somewhat if it was his management that first broached the subject this year 

    I still don’t think Pert handled this with any care at all mind you

    Clazz to request trade due to concerns about Dees culture I'm hearing

    Clarry reckons a strong club would have traded him 12 months ago

    That would be where most of the leaks are from. Not easy to stop either.

    I’m hoping this is a case of geelong not giving up and not Pert STILL shopping him around after everyone confirmed on Friday night he’s not leaving

    I'd expect it's the media continuing the narrative for Geelong who they like a LOT more than us.

    Stop it your killing me.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Realistically I'd like to see him traded because we simply can't make him/Viney/Petracca work in the middle anymore (We haven't really made that combo work for two years now). I get people are very attached to him and at his peak he was a top 5 player in the league, but the game has changed so much. Personally I'd like the club to cut their losses and move him on but it seems the club thinks clearly nothing is wrong with that midfield, and we'll likely pay dearly for that in the future.

    Perhaps, but only in terms of exploring a trade post-season. For me, it opens the door (especially after Petracca) that perhaps things have been that bad inside the club that Oliver simply wanted out? I don't know that of course, and we're going by a fairly flippant comment from a journalist, but it's still a concern in my view.

    And yes, definitely agree this has been an absolute mess from Pert, no matter which version of the story is true. I would put some weight in @Sir Why You Little's comments about what they've heard about the matter as I've noted in the past he has been seemingly on the money with such things.

    The attacks on our club are becoming stupider and stupider who is making up this stuff. You may not like Gary Pert but going on with this vindictive rubbish is more on you than it is on our CEO.

    Not many trades poking their heads up so far and a lot of hours to fill so expect the media nuffies to keep going.

    Sorry, but which part of my post is vindictive? I don't quite follow your criticism here.

    Dining out on gossip FFD determining what is true, always coming down on the side of the poster rather than the victim for starters.

    m8 people are allowed to have opinions about anyone at the club based on publicly available info, most of all the CEO whose primary role it is to provide stability and inspire confidence in the direction of the club  

    Regardless of what he has or hasn’t done, if he’s not meeting this criteria he’s failing at one of the core parts of his role

    Not completely Clarry’s fault.

    He could have been held back at the start of the season to gain further fitness that could well have contributed to a better season.

    Says who, he is being undermined by a load of rubbish on here that is being spoken as Truth. Why don’t you give Gary a call and ask him for yourself rather than supporting unsubstantiated backstabbing BS on here.

    Freed from desire, interesting title. Rather eloquent sentence content and all correct spelling, context etc. School Teacher, media perhaps? Seems to stir the pot just a little with every post. I hate Media Maggots...

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
