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.

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.

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

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
