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.

The challenge is on.  Are all involved with the club up to it?  Time will tell.  

My MFCSS has very slightly eased.

And never forget that we will be getting an extra 5 weeks preseason over the grand finalists.

Just about the post of the season - or at least on this massive thread.

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

So let me get this straight.

When the idea that this whole fiasco has been simply a media fabrication is put forward… and I point out that neither Tracc nor MFC have come out for weeks to say it isn’t true or challenged the veracity of any claims, despite being one of the biggest stories of the last few years and has seen Traccs reputation and MFC’s reputation being publicly trashed from all sides:

Your question in response to me, is if I believe footy media absolutely and in its totality akin to gullivers travels…

No I don’t.

In turn:

Do you believe this entire story is built solely on media speculation? There’s zero truth to anything being said in the media about any of this?

today we can finally smile again

tomorrow the bridges get repaired

next week we can get back to sniping again

the wheel of life

Hey mods. Can we close this page soon? The story is over. The betrayal of Christian Petracca by so many on her is offensive. 

Mate you are completely off your rocker. If you think there's nothing at all to see here and that this was a beat up then you're even more delusional than we thought.

The club clearly has problems, if you want to dismiss that just because it's been reported in the media which you think are lying dirtbags then that's probably just pleasing yourself.

I was thinking something similar.

If, and it's a big if, clarry gets super fit and tracc gets close to his optimal fitness we won't be talking about our midfield.

Particularly with kolt looking a monty to play as a mid forward pretty soon (waxing with tracc?) and having pick 5 in a draft with good midfield depth. 

JVR, Turner, Mcvee, Kolt and Windsor will go up a level with another preseason.

As you suggest, a huge preseason is critical - and if they can use this to get fired up all the good.

Having a few extra weeks break wont hurt either.

Speaking of media people & crazy headlines, I've just seen a headline on the herald sun website reading did Sheedy play peacemaker between feuding oasis brothers? 

My god does this man get involved in everything

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.

I was the assistant manager of Coles New World in Croyden back in the '80s @hardtack.

How did the women's side go?

They won mate

I'm just glad this nonsense is sorted and didn't drag on until the end of the trade period.

what a pointless solo run from Trac. a trade was never a possibility. hopefully he can get his head down, focus on his recovery and be fit and firing come round 1. After listening to Maxy yesterday I'm sure there'll be no bad blood between him and the playing group and he can re-integrate without any problems. We need the norm smith trac doing what he does best on the footy filed. Leave the brand and cooking recipes until post career. 

The leaking and backgrounding needs to stop. the next anonymous source that feeds news to the media needs to be hunted down and banished.

I might be wrong but I'd go as far as saying if we didn't have the captain we have then Trac would have split.

Take a look at this hero, parading around doing a victory, as if the whole messy situation hasn’t laid bare some serious, underlying issues at the club—issues we’ve been painfully aware of for quite some time.

If you truly believe that journalists like Morris, McClure, and their cohorts weren’t onto something, you’re fooling yourself. Sure, they have a tendency to sensationalize, mixing truths, half-truths, and a bit of rumor, but if you think there’s nothing to this story, you’re burying your head in the sand.

Had Collingwood or Carlton possessed the draft capital, he’d be gone. And to be honest, I couldn’t have blamed him for jumping ship from this sinking Titanic. I’d be angry, [censored] off, and deeply saddened, but at least I’d understand.

The notion that there was never any substance to this story is laughable, especially when Trac could have shut it all down on Day 2. Yet here we are, 19 days later, with silence still hanging in the air.

Ask yourself why it wasn't shut down? And don't just claim that there was nothing to the reports.

Stop acting like you’re the second coming. Our club has a lot of work to do if we’re going to keep Trac and the rest of the team content. If we don’t make significant changes, we’ll be staring down the barrel of a disaster this time next year.

 

Go away... very few of us can be bothered reading your posts, we simply scroll down to the next. I didn't even read more than your first two lines of this one!

There are no aspects to any media reports that are true?

Petracca is disgruntled and considering a trade.

Anti-Roffey brigade: It's her fault for not contacting him, and she's not doing enough to resolve the matter and minced her words in a radio interview.

Two days later, Petracca publicly recommits to the club.

Anti-Roffey brigade: well done Max Gawn.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
