I think Damo’s being sarcastic here - it appears that the tide has turned against The Brand.

 

Methinks head office has had enough of this rubbish and is sending its mouthpiece out accordingly

    So let me get this straight, the meeting at Gawn’s bar had someone from the public leak details and now this other casual drinks with players has been leaked. How dumb can you be?

    The rustic Marion Wine Bar in Gertrude St, Fitzroy, was the scene for a peculiar little gathering of Melbourne players on Tuesday night.

    Clearly, the players didn't seem to care - or they thought they couldn't be heard — by the table of serious football fans sitting at the next table.

    The pleasant surprise seeing AFL players on a windy Tuesday night was one thing, their astonishment at what the players - clearly frustrated - were saying about Christian Petracca was another.

    So much so, notes were taken.

    Words such as "weird" were heard, and how Petracca's "weirdness" was accepted at Melbourne, but would not be accepted at another club.

    Players are being payed too much if they have drinks at Marion, its exxy rustic!

    If they have a drink at the Napier/Rose/Town Hall/Standard I'll report back!

    For any early risers, I've been covering the night shift from here in Europe. Nothing significant to report so far. You're probably safe to go and put on the kettle and do your morning stretches in preparation for another big day of refreshing. 

    Appreciate your commitment @Skuit. Means I can do some paid work this morning. My employer passes on their thanks as well.

    On second reading you are definitely right. Haven’t had my coffee yet and at this point no level of ridiculous takes from the AFL media would shock me.

    Thanks for pointing out!

    Just so angry and upset that our club has once again found a way to implode from the President poor response to what’s been occurring in our club since winning the flag. Basically issues not resolved to a point were our best player who only after signing a long contract spoke so highly of the club etc I’m also equally at Trac. If this is the case as part of a long contract & a leader comes with  responsibility to be a part of the solution!  A thorough review is needed and heads need to role regardless of who they are !

    Why does everyone keep bringing up the 20 goal loss?

    It's impossible at this point to predict where all this is headed, and how this shambles will be resolved. Review or not, the club will be unstable for months. The likelihood is that Petracca will leave. It's  likely that no big name  players would be induced to go to Melbourne in a trade. This means going for high draft picks which also means a club Petracca doesn't want to go to. Where Goodwin sits in this is equally impossible to predict.

    I'll tell him No.31 says hi. 

    I think he's opened another place near the top end of Smith St recently?

    The irony of people having a crack at Petracca's partner is that Trac has credited her with giving him a kick up the [censored] in 2019 to take his career more seriously. Leading him to adopting better professional standards for himself and fulfilling his talent in the following years. So maybe people should also give her credit for helping him turn into one of the best players in the comp and being instrumental in our flag.

    The point I think that bears noting is he isn't ( seemingly ) self driven.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
