I guess that works, except it doesn’t explain why Tracc didn’t quash all the bulltish reports and why nobody from the club challenged incorrect reporting for almost the entire time the most intense focus has been on us for years?
 

If it was all just made up, there’s no reason to have handled things by either party, the way they have been handled.

That doesn’t make sense.

So you believe everything the Footy Media writes or sprouts? Gulliver's Travels, where is thine sting?????

    The amusing part was Oliver and May being approved as his replacements due to being much less controversial figures. 

    Everything is relative right?

    At this stage I’d like to eccentuate the positives and say how good will Windsor be after another pre season.

    completely off topic but bouyed with the news and feeling best I’ve felt in  a while after the brilliantly good news about Trac.

    God knows we needed some good news as we’ve suffered heaps lately and I know you’re all feeling it.

    It hasn’t been fun, and to feel some joy for once is much needed.

    I honestly would have had no qualms with Trac if he left with how the club handled his injuries, but stoked he is sticking around.  

    Nice try partner.

    Good name though 😉

    This will galvanise the group.

    We will see a huge pre season and resolve to prove those buggers that have been against us to eat their words.

    For those of the Tom Morris opinion that Petracca is being held against his will because his management couldn't orchestrate a suitable trade: The MFC may have been relatively steadfast that we wouldn't entertain one, but there's seven weeks until the end of the trade period, and many on here are of the belief that if we got a suitable return his departure wouldn't be the worst thing purely from a list perspective - which I'm sure the club has weighed up as well. So outside of PR reasons, which could be managed in another way, why would both parties highlight the recommitment at this time, when anything can happen between now and the middle of October?

    The length some people will go to to get out of going to Ringwood. Am I right? I'll see myself out. Apologies to anyone from Ringwood. Never been there. Probably a lovely place.

    I was born in Ringwood (Pine Valley Hospital - no longer in existence?

    I went to primary school in Ringwood (Winnington Grammar - closed for business when I was in 5th grade)

    I worked on Xmas school holidays at Myer Eastland.

    I grew up in Heatherdale and Croydon.

    I can’t recall much about the place other than it had a great slot car racetrack just near the train station.

    Every Melbourne supporter should and will be happy that Trac is not leaving. 
    Equally I think we are entitled to be disappointed with how these last few weeks played out.

    It was never necessary for this to spill into the media and become a MFC vs Petracca showdown, where ultimately both our club and his brand were dragged through the mud. 

    I hope we can move on from this and turn our attention and focus to fixing the problems that need to be fixed.

    I think that sums it up pretty damn well Jaded.

    Very happy with the news, a much needed lift for everyone. However there's work to do at this club and those involved need to get out there and do it and start earning our membership dollars.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
