Spare me Gerard. Gonna be a long summer if the self appointed moral guardian of the afl is going to list all our shortcomings day-in-day-out. 

Any word on cats players found on the floor of nightclubs or is that only something that happens at clubs with bad culture? 

Trac’s management would be very happy with that little soliloquy.

God he's a sanctimonious little t_rd

Of course the club is bemused because the real issue is that someone is in his ear every day telling him they can make more money through his brand if he goes to another club. The rest is just white noise.

Vague ramblings of someone who knows nothing, from the Media.

Gerald is a spiteful little man, who thinks he is the receptacle of all knowledge

I've posted a few times on this, you should be able piece it together. 

I'm not really concerned about whether people take it on or not, at the end of the day the vomit and laugh react crew are going to vomit and laugh react. It doesn't change what the situation is.  

Code for you've got absolutely nothing. Embarrassing.

If anyone hasn't listened to that clip of The Ox on SEN WA. Stop everything and go do it now. 

The most sense spoken on several inter-related and not pleasant topics I've heard out of the media.

If he does play in opposition colours in 25, it will have a level of animosity between the players and particularly the fans not seen since Carey. At least it will be a big crowd for him

Sadly if our players couldn't even sneer at Brayden, in fact they high fived and hugged him, I doubt there would be any animosity towards Trac should he ever play against us.

Or, you know, you could use that burgeoning big boy intellect of yours and as I said, read what I've previously written and infer some meaning. 

But hey, herrrrr derrrrrr media vendetta, MFC perennial victims et al.

He spoke well on issues within the club and what needs to change but for me, he glossed over Christian also being an issue in this. The question was put to him on Christian’s potential selfishness and he gave a short answer and quickly brought it back to having a crack at the club. 

I’m not saying he’s incorrect re the club, I just think his opinion of Christian maybe a little too high.

We know now the extent of the trauma and psychological stress that Petracca has endured during, and post operation. We have heard his concern for various aspects of the MFC football program and administration. None of this seems to me to be an insurmountable obstacle with regards to his reconciliation with the club.  After reading and listening to the current media updates, I think it likely that the leaking of information is coming from those very close to Petracca. In at least one instance, that group includes individuals with some direct control over aspects of contractual opportunities available to him beyond his football: his 'Brand'. This latter component seems to be the tipping point for our star!

Eery parallels with the RDB departure, similar age, similar profile. Club had recently won a premiership. Looking to expand the brand.  Walked in to a club gathering one day (acc. to Red Fox) and didn't like the vibe.  Went to Carlton.

With the Red Fox's blessing tobe fair

The more time this goes on, the more likely it is he wont be a Melbourne player next year. Prepare yourselves, folks.

The problem will be that the only clubs that can either afford trac with trades and salary cap are all bottom 8 sides. 

I can’t see how Carlton, Collingwood or Essendon can make it happen

It would have to involve a MEGA Trade.

The only conclusion that even only half makes sense to me is that Petracca is frustrated with the coach. ....

 

 

 

That might be correct, but you gave a long list of possible problems, not many of them related to Goodwin, so I am surprised you then boldly conclude: "The only conclusion....is.. coach".

That was [censored] by Gerard, not once did he mention Petraccas antics & carry on, the CP5 brand, attendance, Casey training ground, the doctor being cleared of any wrongdoing, Petracca wanting to go back on the ground, just about the whole list signed & being a spoilt brat

Buckley was good, said he didn’t like the way he’s made it all about himself & that other clubs will take notice of those type of things

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
