    GATOR hit the nail on the head many moons on this post ago. Namely that Petracca is going nowhere...

    Have all the EXPERTS on this site ever considered that this whole Farrago IS A MEDIA CAN OF WORMS?  Most Demonlanders fell hook line and sinker that the pwobwem ( sic) is the MFC. I have read with total disbelief that there are still posters who believe the media mendacity memes for which Western Media is infamous, who still believe Petracca and the MFC are the issue. How many times does the frigging Footy Meida have to prove to you that most are a bunch of pampered winkers, ex-players who bear their inherent biases, and clowns like Morris who has pwobabwy never played a game of footy in his pampered life. 

    I guess that works, except it doesn’t explain why Tracc didn’t quash all the bulltish reports and why nobody from the club challenged incorrect reporting for almost the entire time the most intense focus has been on us for years?
     

    If it was all just made up, there’s no reason to have handled things by either party, the way they have been handled.

    That doesn’t make sense.

    Yep they can say whatever they want, you can choose to believe them or not, but no one that knows anybody at the club is going to come out and name them on a public forum.

    Then you suggest professional journalists have no sources. Their source might be unreliable but they don't just make these things up mate.

    Like I said before, to ask someone on this board to put someone they know at the club, and to suggest journalists just make up stories out of thin air, is a braindead take.

    'Journalists don't make things up'.🤣🤣🤣 Only one brain-dead take here. Sam McClure " my sources are strong that Harley Reid will not go to the Eagles". Goodnight.

    Now we get Clarry and Trac fit and fighting for day one and go scorched earth against our antagonists, both on and off the field. Many of the best teams cultivate a trench-warfare type of mentality. Similar internal rumblings at the end of 2020. At their best of course, we have a premiership-ready list. JVR steps up, we find him a KPF partner, Petty goes back, and we add another midfielder to stem some pressure on our three-pronged KPDs. If Goodwin can re-energise our squad, it won't take much to be right back in contention. I'm currently changing all my passwords to MFC2025!

    Yes, one of the boards is our version of the illuminati 

    And the Demon illuminati got Petracca back on board (they're very persuasive) 

    So the board got Tracc on board in line with the board.

    I like it.

    I wonder what we agreed to do to get Trac to send that message

    It's written by someone in the comms team and then approved by Petracca.

    And if the issues are so bad, explain to me why young guns Windsor and Kolt resigned in july when neither had to worry about doing so for another two years.

    Ditto for langers, who signed in August.

    Ditto Turner, Laurie, amw and Jefferson.

    Ditto JVR.

    Nice he decided to stay for now but I still think he wants to go before his contract is up…

    Yep, there are better ways to get the club to improve than the way this was dealt with.

    But happy father's day, Adam. 

    Good call Adam, let's just take the win for now.

    Let’s not kid ourselves, I’m sure he tested the market. 

    Unless he says so, who knows,  we can speculate, but it's not true until he says it is.

    I said they may have unreliable sources but they don't just make things up.

    I’m sorry , but Tom Morris needs to be relieved from his duties for a second time.

    Sounds like he'll leave at the end of next year when two years of future trading opens.

    Might be the right timing. By then we'll know if Oliver is able to make it back, we'll know if May still has it, we'll know if Rivers is a midfielder and if Petty can actually play forward.

    If all goes our way, maybe we're a strong team and do some damage.

    If not, he'll leave and it'll be rebuild time anyway.

    He's done absolutely nothing wrong. He can't be blamed for the masses consuming absurd media and falling for it.

    I agree with this. But I also feel he has an obligation to protect the MFC by not giving the runway for these sorts of media stories to get to this point. But I get it if he wasn’t in the right state mentally if that’s the case. 
     

    The only clear winner of this is us - he’s bloody staying and that is excellent news.

    So what happens now?

    As @sue pointed out, the footy media is widespread so do they get stuck into Petracca? Maybe for a day or so? 

    And what about all the Roffey & Pert talk?  It'll continue here until people get bored with it, but in the media?  

    Or has the cycle run it's course making way for the next story (gossip based?) 

    First final is next Thursday so the bye weekend had it's story to keep footy in the news

    • 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.
