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?

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.

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.

Whatever ...

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

Perhaps the love will return?

 

 

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
