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 !

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
