Get a hold of yourselves DLanders. You should know how the media works by now… Petracca is a future captain of this club, who has a lucrative contract. This is the short summary of what Morris has to say on the issue… “Petracca would leave the club tomorrow if he wanted to”. Get a grip, don’t be on the Media drip!

    How do you figure that all 3 of these CONTRACTED players will not be with us in 2025?

    Did Viney look like someone who wants out on Saturday night? 

    Um his dad is connected to Norf..... GO FIGURE!

    No one is happy with the direction of the club at the moment - difference is Petracca can actually change it. Would be the absolute most cowardly choice from him to nick off now.

    EDIT: I should add that I don't see him as a coward, and therefore he won't leave.

    And his dad was also connected to Hawks. Go figure.

    He has 6 years left to run on his contract. He won't be leaving.

    Nothing wrong with a shot across the bow from Trac. Make sure the club take his and the playing groups concerns onboard. 

    I'm sure there will be a robust and thorough review performed in the off season. clear the air and get everyone focussed again. make the necessary changes. There's been too much noise around the club this season.

    Not if you were peeezed of with the way the club has handled certain issues, including his own! But

    Just holistically, it's really difficult for me to see a way that Petracca could leave the Dees because of frustration due to the clubs direction and Simon Goodwin remain the head coach, the teams direction and spirit and the happiness of all players, but especially the star players is directly his responsibility.

    Petracca would have enough sway to get the coach sacked if he was that upset. The only reason he'd leave is to chase a quick and easy flag elsewhere - like I say, I don't see it happening.

    I'd be devastated if trac left. 

    I thought the days of our good players walking out because we were terrible were well behind us.

    I'd say our president and coach have some work to do to rebuild relationships. 

    Even if we were playing finals trac wouldn't have been part of it anyway.

    He would have enough sway to do that for sure. But Morris says he’s not unhappy with Goodwin, so it’s hard to know what info Morris is reporting truthfully and what he is making up.

    Trac is the ultimate professional, he is a top 5 player in the league and clearly loves our club and just wants to win. 

    He clearly sees that he has 3 or 4 more elite years left before the decline so he needs to win now. 
     

    The [censored] show Tim Lamb and co has served up since the flag is beyond a joke. We have gone so far backwards picking up list cloggers left and right (I won’t name any in case they read this and get upset) 

    Then there is the indiscretions of his high profile team mates leading to horrible press, internal meetings and restlessness and let’s not forget a [censored] pre season wasting yet another year.  
     

    Trac would know a trade would be basically impossible, we would demand 2 top 10 picks plus and no contending club will be able to provide that. Perhaps this is exactly what the club needs, the ultimatum to fix the mess and actually put the foot down, clear out the trouble makers, cash in on some elite young talent, bring in some QUALITY senior players and reload and go again. 
     

    I hope to god this offseason is a blood bath, ala Collingwood 2021 change needs to happen.

    Petracca is the best we can get for Petracca. Nothing will come close to that, and any young kid we pick up is going to wither on the vine if we repeat the same mistakes we made from 2009-2013.

    I'm not concerned about him leaving, just the unwanted negative attention this club has seemingly mastered.

    It's just the club's role in the AFL at the moment. There is nothing that can be done to change the way certain clubs are reported on. Essendon has the baggage of the "saga" and it's been 10 years since it happened. The media will report on what the media will report on. No mature club or its players should be affected by that.

    Surprise, surprise… no mention of Petracca in the Ch 9 Sports Bulletin. Yet they succeed! Look at how our DLanders have taken the (click)bait! Where is your dignity?

    Trac has always struck me as the type who has looked for an excuse to leave

    Except for when he signed a 7 year deal? 🙄

    Hey folks.

    Back off on the criticism of Christian.  He bleeds red and blue.  This year, he along with our captain carried this club on his shoulders, week after week, until a near death injury. 

    fwiw I don't think he will leave.  I get people are disappointed in 2024 but don't take the frustrations out on Christian.  He certainly does not deserve all the shiiit posters are writing in this thread.  Many are 🤮worthy.

    Some respect please.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
