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!!!

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
