Wonder if Greg Healy would make an ok ceo? 

 

let's dredge the complete list of former MFC on-field/off-field leaders to see if we can cough up someone to take over. We can find out if they are remotely interested in the position after we complete the character assassination of the current crew!

    I dont think you can credit roffey and pert with that feat. They almost fell into it as a result of the flag in 2021. You could argue they were at the helm when the numbers plateaud and fell in the years that followed. 

    You could also argue that it happened in their watch and can't they get credit for anything?

     

    More to the point, I have been arguing that the supposed requests by Trac are incorrect if not fabricated. I doubt very much if he would have made the distinction that you are trying to make. I have made other arguments in support of my view as well.

    i'd almost prefer liam ryan

    speedy forwards who put it on the scoreboard and pressure defensively are the key part of modern footy it would seem

    Hopefully Oscar Allen

    Brace yourself. If you've ever been irritated by a celebrity doing a FIFO 'awareness raising' photoshoot, you'll choke on your vomit by the time you know the full Theresa story.

    Christian will be attending the Red Bull training camp overseas rather than attending the B&F.

    Melbourne will look back on their 2024 season at the club’s best and fairest count in early October, but Christian Petracca won’t be there. JAY CLARK explains why.

    Why Petracca will skip Demons’ B&F

    From the POV that he’s training, and under a program of monitoring and watchful eyes, great. Hard injuries to return from and if he’s doing his utmost to tick the boxes that gets him confident and capable of returning to footy, fantastic. Hope it’s smooth sailing and a resounding success. All the best, trac 🤞🏻

    Seems pretty excited to get back into it. Will be good for him after how slowly he had to progress his training post-surgery.

    Admittedly, I have never attended a B&F but the fans do get the chance to occasionally mingle with the odd player don't they?

    It's pretty sad to say, but I'm actually a bit thankful he won't be there just out of fear of a fan, downing a few too many chardonnays and getting a bit 'passionate' towards Christian and maybe whoever he takes to the night.

    Might be best just to stay away for now, get himself 100% for next year and allow everyone to fall in love again once he starts playing wonderful footy and we start winning some more games.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
