    On another matter, not sure if already posted as it's hard to keep up, but heard it mentioned Christian was spotted with the rest of the players today for a belated Mad Monday (or early Wacky Wednesday I suppose). That would be at least some kind of good news in relation to the recent comments about players being unhappy with him and the like.

    If true, I would rather all the players be there than some. Nothing worse than if the players fall into 2 factions.

    I wouldn’t believe what McRae says. He’s playing poker like all the other feigning “not interested” clubs. Personally I’d like to see him go WC so as we can rescue Harley Reid before Harley starts developing mental health problems. Also will give me incentive to go to more WC games so that I can boo him.

    Needs to be regulated ASAP. The world has enough problems separating fact from fiction already.

    Thanks Mate, appreciate the info.

    On a different note, I'm guessing we will struggle to attract players to the club this year so if Petracca trade does not eventuate it'll be fairly quiet trade period for the club?

    My fear is that either way it will be unless we pay significant overs to other players and clubs. This whole affair and all the events leading up whether just perception and certainly some reality has tarnished the club and it's going to take more than just PR and platitudes to fix.

    Might save us from our selves, and force us to go to the draft

    Dish Licker mate of mine reckons he would trade Naughton for him BUT NOT Ugle Hagen!

    as good as his highlights might be, i don't want someone who only occasionally turns up to play and couldn't hit the side of a barn.  we already have enough of that type of forward

    Dazz, it was mentioned to him recently that publicly whinging about the direction of the Club, is ruining the direction of the Club. 

    Very difficult at the moment to see the circuit breaker.

    I have somewhat nervously respected our clubs supportive culture of our playing groups needs and wants. But there are risks.

    Jackson wanted to go home, we did it very respectfully. We let him go.

    Similarly ANB needed to go home and we supported him.

    I would like to think that our cultural values may encourage others to consider playing for us.

    I get it that some on this platform are saying that we should cut our loses, let Petracca go and see what we can get in return. 

    My concern going forward is this. What sort of dangerous precedent may we be setting if we let him get his wishes and go to another club? We are a mid sized club. Think of how the big Victorian clubs and other power clubs from interstate may exploit us in coming years. These power clubs would know that if they try hard enough they could exploit our cultural values and pick off any disgruntled star in coming years.  How nervous would you be going forward if say hypothetically Clayton had bit of a setback and faced a new set of challenges in coming years?

    Goody at his last press conference said Petracca has a contract and he won’t be moving anywhere.  I’m with Goody on this one. The team is bigger than any individual. If he doesn’t want to come back on board, then he can sit on the bench in the VFL for all I care. 

    Having said that, I hope he stays, everyone makes amends and moves on.  Sounds this may not be likely but I can only hope.🤞

    Those seem like the actions of a player who doesn't intend to play another game at the club.

    He may not have a choice or we might not have a choice to keep him.

    Disappointing for supporters if a once beloved player irrevocably damages the club more on the way out.

    I truly hope things can be mended but each day that reality looks further and further away.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
