I think Damo’s being sarcastic here - it appears that the tide has turned against The Brand.

 

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

    So let me get this straight, the meeting at Gawn’s bar had someone from the public leak details and now this other casual drinks with players has been leaked. How dumb can you be?

    The rustic Marion Wine Bar in Gertrude St, Fitzroy, was the scene for a peculiar little gathering of Melbourne players on Tuesday night.

    Clearly, the players didn't seem to care - or they thought they couldn't be heard — by the table of serious football fans sitting at the next table.

    The pleasant surprise seeing AFL players on a windy Tuesday night was one thing, their astonishment at what the players - clearly frustrated - were saying about Christian Petracca was another.

    So much so, notes were taken.

    Words such as "weird" were heard, and how Petracca's "weirdness" was accepted at Melbourne, but would not be accepted at another club.

    Players are being payed too much if they have drinks at Marion, its exxy rustic!

    If they have a drink at the Napier/Rose/Town Hall/Standard I'll report back!

    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. 

    Appreciate your commitment @Skuit. Means I can do some paid work this morning. My employer passes on their thanks as well.

    On second reading you are definitely right. Haven’t had my coffee yet and at this point no level of ridiculous takes from the AFL media would shock me.

    Thanks for pointing out!

    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 !

    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?

    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.

    • 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.
