It's bed-time here in Europe. Can someone please urgently page me if there are any fresh articles published in Australia recapping the previous ones. Cheers.

My question who is leaking all the info on player exit meetings & the players catching up at Gawns bar??

Is anyone leaking info or are the reporters simply making it up to try to get a response. My take is that because the club, Tracc and his management are playing a straight bat that the media is making more and more outlandish claims to elicit a response. I wouldn't be surprised if we pursue legal action at the end of the current speculation.

So will this event go ahead on Sunday. 

Dougal Austin claims it will.

 He will be there. Won’t be cancelled! Had coffee with him this morning
Very different to talking to Ch7, etc
He will tell the fans at Ringwood RSL that he’s committed to the club!  
 
BUT WHICH CLUB IS HE COMMITTED TO

Could this whole thing be a ruse to sell .ore tickets to this event?

Might be worth staying up another 45 mins for the Roffey interview on SEN...?

Imagine...I can tell you it will be a total sellout.  He's not a bad businessman is he...

Just went to look at information and the Ticket Page says "Sales have stopped".

Hypothetical. If Trac came out and just takes a massive dump on the club and players at that event, what would likely happen next?

Can he do this to massively diminish his trade value and make himself untenable to the point where we just have to give him away ie fire him? Is there anyway in which we could take some control back?

If he does that surely we just dig our heels in and say "guess what mate, we can't get what we need for you so you're not going anywhere and if you don't come to the table we'll stick you in the VFL and leave you there".

Surely Petracca won't do that, but if he does and goes full child, then he must be treated like a child.  Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done until your cortisol levels dissipate and then when you're ready to talk we will be here for you.

Mind you, I still don't think he will do that, I have a bit of faith that yes there is a bit of fire somewhere but the media are in a feeding frenzy and milking this for all its worth.  Hopeful anyway.

and that leads you to lose faith in the board? 

Short of kidnapping the full list and holding them hostage in the rooms at Casey how is the board supposed to stop whispering and leaking?

People have very strange ideas about what a board is and does, and an inflated idea of the value of an external review. 


Meet the new board members - Negan and Lucille

Not smart business from the Trac camp if you ask me. Yes he’s been through a traumatic experience this year but my advice would be to get back on the field first before starting this “I’m taking my talents to south beach” nonsense. 

Fine, if you wanna play in front of the big crowds cos that’s what think you you deserve (you [censored]) but there’s plenty to go right before you even get back out in front of any crowd. Maybe he thinks it’s now or never cos he’s realised the impermanence of existence but can’t imagine it going down well if the Blues or Filth or whoever put up a whole bunch of picks and players and their fans get to watch cooking vids from Noosa while he spends 2025 in recovery. 

Trying to back us into a corner by dropping every excuse under the sun is hurting us but if he can’t be honest about it with himself, the club or his teammates and won’t front up to the fans then he can sit on the bench at Casey next year for all I care and we can reassess whether he’d like to be a little less demanding about where he plays in 2026. 

Some players want to carry their club, some want to be put on a pedestal. Patty Cripps had any reasons over the past decade to be a bit miffed with the blues? He’s stayed and carried that club when it would’ve been easier to walk to a contender. Give me a leader like that any day of the week. 

Couldn’t agree anymore if I said it myself Harf.

Growing his brand in Ringwood with that nuff Dougal?

You can't be serious, just keep putting your head in the sand. If there was no leaking there is no story. We've had a running commentary for the last 2 weeks from certain sections of the media. I can understand loyalty to Christian as he has been at the club for a long time and has been a valued player, but don't be naive.

Post evidence.  You can't.  Sycophant to the likes of McClure and Morris.  Sad. Your username is apt.

 

Trac has withdrawn from the event, to be replaced by May and Oliver as per Tom Morris

So half of the fans wonder where Roffey is and why she's saying nothing about the Petracca situation and the other half are saying she should stfu.

Damned if you don't ... damned if you do.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
