I think it would be because Clarry hasn't leaked to the media and also the tone of the criticism of Clarry has, at times, been pretty low-brow.

I agree that some people have been overly critical of Oliver but I also think that the animosity towards Trac has been over the top.

C'mon guys, it's clear that Christian caught up with Lachie Neale so they can compare their recent hauls from Cash Converters.

 Shilling for pawn brokers sure enhances one’s character.

Fair point but if your mates in trouble you don't bail.. you help.

My thoughts exactly.

But I didn't get the impression that Petracca was very involved in the whole Clarry saga. I could be wrong but that's how I felt last year.

Btw, I wonder what Petracca thinks after watching his mate Lachie and his team bottling the game against a side that was effectively out of contention.

Fagan and Hinkley could be playing their last season with their respective teams.

I can understand Trac's frustrations with the club but his continued silence is honestly so disappointing (especially after a good team performance today). I saw him as a lock for future captain of our club but these are not good signs even if he does decide to stay. In saying that, I'm sure my mind will probably change once and if this all gets cleared up

I hope Trac reads the statement made by his teammates today. Starting to look like he’s more the problem than our culture. 

Agree on this.  [censored] poor not travelling with the team.

Did May travel with the team? I didn't see him, though may have missed him.

He did not. I believe his partner is due to give birth any day. 
He did however post three very positive things on his social media.

He just spent a month in Noosa.

The playing group have a big say in captain selection and leadership group. 

This will say a lot about the impact of his actions on the playing group.

In regards to players not there. As far as I've seen it was only May and Petracca unaccounted for.

May's partner is not too far off birth I believe, and he looks to have posted some instagram posts from home while watching the game.

Christian was at a local footy game early today where he has friends involved, but I've not seen anything from him in regards to today's AFL game or result. Not going to read too much into it as I don't follow players personal lives on social media so I have no idea if he's generally someone that posts often anyway.

I might be going against my 'not reading much into it' line, but it does feel like if he had chosen to at least share something positive about the result today it would have helped supporter sentiment at least.

Again, not something I'm overly familiar with though.

Spargo on crutches.

Oliver after surgery.

 

This seems quite timely and very targeted. 

I was at the game today and also saw Windsor there in a moon boot. Looks like most of the list was there including an injured Spargs and post surgery Clarry. Where the [censored] was Trac? Speaks volumes. Will be surprised if he’s a Demon next season.

Seemed fine traveling to and from Noosa a couple of weeks ago.

Were B Brown and Hunter there in the rooms too? I didn’t see them in the song clip but that might just be me. 

Benny Brown played in the 2s pregame and kicked 6. He would have been there as all the other Casey boys who played in the pregame were in the clip.

I’ve gotta agree with the consensus that Trac not traveling with the team in what seems to have been a team bonding exercise and to show the camaraderie of the group speaks volumes. Very disappointing and very depressing. I hope fences can be mended and that change will come from this.

Is that just players or support staff too. Casey got flogged, so interesting if it was only the playing group involved

Think it was just players in the circle, but included Clarrie, Charlie and Caleb who are all injured ATM. I think the only three players not there were Maysie, Tracc and Joel Smith.

All fine for him to be unhappy about certain things, but pretty [censored] poor to not get behind the boys after today. 

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Expected at least a social media ‘like’ or re-post of the great win. 
Wonder how his management will spin this. Can’t be good for the brand.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
