Well thank Christ that’s sorted. Will be interesting to see what changes are made in the club for the rest of the year…

Whatever ...

He kinda lost me. I'm sure that will be of great concern to him and MFC.

Perhaps the love will return?

That's the way I looked at it.

Clearly there's no one out there could satisfy a deal so he's had no other choice but to stay.

Regardless, it's great news. We've got 12 months to sort out [censored] out big time.

Yep. Petty was out the door too and chose to stay. Totally different circumstances I know, but a year is a very long time in football. 
Success will fix a lot.

It's wonderful news, but the MFC can't stuff this up, this doesn't take anything away from him wanting out and the corrections that need to be made on and off the field, over to you MFC, lets see if we can respond.

Sounds like a very “I’m resigned to being here but I’m not happy about it” sort of statement. 

Let us hope this club makes the necessary changes so that not only Trac but the rest of the team is happy and successful going forward. 

What would you have liked him to say?

Take that all you revolting mud raking, rumour mongering idiotic journalists.  Now go bother some other club.

See to me, that reads as “there was [censored] broken at the club and it needed to be addresses and fixed, I’ve raised that, we are now working towards it and that eases my mind”

The fact Max even stated he had things he wasn’t happy with and agreed with Trac on some things means there was problems worth arguing about.

I kept telling everyone that I didn't really care what he did, if he wants to go then go. Why then, did I just feel an incredible weight lift off my shoulders in reading the press release. 

Some good news finally. Hopefully all this drama opens a few eyes and the team has an offseason for the ages and come out swinging in 2025. Let's Freaking Go!!!


Well that is the statement that we have all been waiting for, welcome back Tracc.❤️💙💕

Folks on here wanted Christian to speak.  He has spoken.  He is staying. 

Time to get behind him  Time to drop the bickering.

It is my guess Max was a major architect of the bridge that was built between the club and Christian.  Max will make sure the player are all behind him.

I'm ecstatic !!!!

Onward and upward to 2025.

I still want changes higher up.

Pert and Roffey are still incompetent and I want them gone. I don't want this to be a band aid on a sliced leg. 

Get the changes sorted this off season and start completely fresh.

Aw, man, 226 pages and that's it?

I would love to see him do a tiktok recipe where he takes a printed copy of this thread and lets it stew for a week.

 

Just a bizarre situation. Obviously no other club could get close to satisfying Melbourne with a trade. So many questions though....

His brand?

Bigger club? So he rates other clubs better than ours?

Dragging the club through the media and not caring if it burnt down.

How does he teammates feel now?

Plus, you don't just repair all this so called drama in one Saturday afternoon.....

Always more to it. Must realise it cant be done, like I said, so many questions and personally, I won't look at him the same way again. Hopefully it's good for the club as a whole.

I mean I'll probably never feel the same about him but all I need him to do is his best in the colours and nothing else really matters I guess. 

If anything this whole saga has strengthened my admiration for Gawn, Viney and his elk. The dudes who genuinely love the club we do and don't give a [censored] about social trends and mediocre cooking content t

I guess you hope he says I love this club and our fans and I’m committed to being part of making this club better. 

But beggars can’t be choosers. I still believe that if a trade was there to be done with Collingwood or Carlton he’d be out the door without a second thought. 
Luckily for us that isn’t possible for now, so let’s make the most of it and make both parties fall back in love with one another. 

Look I suppose it's good news...but honestly sounds like we held him captive in a room to write that statement haha. Compare to Vineys's....he needed something equally as passionate - probably more so given what has happened. Will do nothing to calm the media storm.

We now get this circus for another year, buying time for everyone to work out a trade and more pertinently see if he can actually return as the same player....hope for our sake he does!

The bottom line out of all this may well be that any medium or smaller club (not under-written by head-office) by definition has a bad culture. 

Correct.

Yet if you have massive racism issues like Pies or Hawks, no culture issues to speak of.

Mainstream footy media is [censored] weak.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
