Just so angry and upset that our club has once again found a way to implode from the President poor response to what’s been occurring in our club since winning the flag. Basically issues not resolved to a point were our best player who only after signing a long contract spoke so highly of the club etc I’m also equally at Trac. If this is the case as part of a long contract & a leader comes with  responsibility to be a part of the solution!  A thorough review is needed and heads need to role regardless of who they are !

For any early risers, I've been covering the night shift from here in Europe. Nothing significant to report so far. You're probably safe to go and put on the kettle and do your morning stretches in preparation for another big day of refreshing. 

Look out Luke Bona, we have @Skuittaking over.

It's impossible at this point to predict where all this is headed, and how this shambles will be resolved. Review or not, the club will be unstable for months. The likelihood is that Petracca will leave. It's  likely that no big name  players would be induced to go to Melbourne in a trade. This means going for high draft picks which also means a club Petracca doesn't want to go to. Where Goodwin sits in this is equally impossible to predict.

I'll tell him No.31 says hi. 

I think he's opened another place near the top end of Smith St recently?

Methinks head office has had enough of this rubbish and is sending its mouthpiece out accordingly 

Quite possible

The irony of people having a crack at Petracca's partner is that Trac has credited her with giving him a kick up the [censored] in 2019 to take his career more seriously. Leading him to adopting better professional standards for himself and fulfilling his talent in the following years. So maybe people should also give her credit for helping him turn into one of the best players in the comp and being instrumental in our flag.

The point I think that bears noting is he isn't ( seemingly ) self driven.

It actually doesn’t matter what anyone from the club says right now. The only way to stop this is to either say we’ve reached an in principle deal to trade him or he’s staying now rack off. We’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t. I hope the whole truth comes out one day but that is highly unlikely.

Has one player ever caused so much trouble for a club without uttering a word?

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
