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 😉

    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

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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
