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

    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.

    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...

    • 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.
