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.

So you believe everything the Footy Media writes or sprouts? Gulliver's Travels, where is thine sting?????

    The amusing part was Oliver and May being approved as his replacements due to being much less controversial figures. 

    Everything is relative right?

    At this stage I’d like to eccentuate the positives and say how good will Windsor be after another pre season.

    completely off topic but bouyed with the news and feeling best I’ve felt in  a while after the brilliantly good news about Trac.

    God knows we needed some good news as we’ve suffered heaps lately and I know you’re all feeling it.

    It hasn’t been fun, and to feel some joy for once is much needed.

    👍

    I honestly would have had no qualms with Trac if he left with how the club handled his injuries, but stoked he is sticking around.  

    Nice try partner.

    Good name though 😉

    Your perception buddy. Not us true supporters. 

    Back off mate. Jaded has been a respected longtime poster and has runs on the board. You are just a babe in arms on this forum.

    This will galvanise the group.

    We will see a huge pre season and resolve to prove those buggers that have been against us to eat their words.

    For those of the Tom Morris opinion that Petracca is being held against his will because his management couldn't orchestrate a suitable trade: The MFC may have been relatively steadfast that we wouldn't entertain one, but there's seven weeks until the end of the trade period, and many on here are of the belief that if we got a suitable return his departure wouldn't be the worst thing purely from a list perspective - which I'm sure the club has weighed up as well. So outside of PR reasons, which could be managed in another way, why would both parties highlight the recommitment at this time, when anything can happen between now and the middle of October?

    The length some people will go to to get out of going to Ringwood. Am I right? I'll see myself out. Apologies to anyone from Ringwood. Never been there. Probably a lovely place.

    I was born in Ringwood (Pine Valley Hospital - no longer in existence?

    I went to primary school in Ringwood (Winnington Grammar - closed for business when I was in 5th grade)

    I worked on Xmas school holidays at Myer Eastland.

    I grew up in Heatherdale and Croydon.

    I can’t recall much about the place other than it had a great slot car racetrack just near the train station.

    Every Melbourne supporter should and will be happy that Trac is not leaving. 
    Equally I think we are entitled to be disappointed with how these last few weeks played out.

    It was never necessary for this to spill into the media and become a MFC vs Petracca showdown, where ultimately both our club and his brand were dragged through the mud. 

    I hope we can move on from this and turn our attention and focus to fixing the problems that need to be fixed.

    I think that sums it up pretty damn well Jaded.

    Very happy with the news, a much needed lift for everyone. However there's work to do at this club and those involved need to get out there and do it and start earning our membership dollars.

    Can we boo him or is that only Maynard?

    He'd better improve his goal kicking

    Going to be some incredible backflipping on here.

    Should anyone with a ruptured spleen be doing such spectacular backflipping??

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

    No.  Now they can turn their focus onto the terribly disgruntled, desperately homesick Kozzie

    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.

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

    Tom relieves himself way too often for my liking.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
