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 😉

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
