I just did a word count on this thread (took a while, too) and you won't be surprised by the results.

The word that appears most frequently, and by a considerable margin, is IF.

Can somebody let me know if any facts ever emerge?

On this, even the hardest of Demons hearts would’ve melted at what happened yesterday. Honestly, it was staggering. There was this unmistakable sense of unity and trust. Everyone came together and the vibe was one of mateship and ‘I’ve got your back, always.’ Too many little examples to list. And this was BEFORE the match. I really can’t explain in words the overwhelming feeling after the match. Some of us were crying, not me, I’d never cry over footy, (insert suss monkey puppet gif) but not so much in sadness or happiness, it was all about healing, that’s the only way to describe it.

Anyways, after the match most people had left the ground including the folks in the back of our bay. On the opposite side of the ground our players were standing in a circle for quite a while and you just knew Max would’ve been saying some pretty emotional things. The few of us still there didn’t start packing up like we usually do, instead we continued waving flags and chanting. The circle broke up eventually and the boys headed our way. Again, hard to explain the sight of them, absolutely knackered but there was nowhere else they’d rather be. I saw that Nibs had tears in his eyes.

I really feel for Trac, and this situation seems impossible to fairly judge without all the information. I’m sure there’s a lot going on behind closed doors. I do think it’s pretty hard not to read something into this, but I think some compassion for Trac is definitely needed here. He’s been through a hellish experience, the club would have lost a lot of his trust in the way it was handled, and his distancing himself could just be his way of protecting himself from reliving all the trauma. We’ve been told he’s dissatisfied with the “direction” the club’s going in - notably not with Goody - which to me sounds like an excuse more than anything. He’s hurt, and he just can’t deal with us right now … that’s my highly speculative take, anyway! I hope the club’s  taking his mental health seriously because I get the sense that minimising what he’s been through in any way would be the final straw.

Top marks for the FNM moniker

Personally I don’t think we should hang our superstar player out to dry quite yet…..everyone’s personality is different after all might be taking him a while to even get his head around footy again 

He is not yet at the point of no return. But if it’s redemption he seems, let his footy do the talking. Round 1 be there raring to go.

But thanks WCW! 😃😃☄️

I guess when its all done and dusted we wouldnt have a flag without Tracc even if he does now want to go to a 'bigger club'. But that being said, for the first time in a while we responded with actions rather than talk and showed that you young blokes have a lot of potential.

Should’ve known no one would believe it. 😁

Yesterday my DA bestie was like, okay we all know she cries after every loss and after close nail-biting wins, but right now she’s crying after a huge thumping win. She’s set a precedent right there! And everyone laughed.

Jokes on them though; I’ve cried after huge thumping wins before, I just hid it well. 😜

So basically, our poor communication has led to everyone spitting the dummy, Trac and teammates.
Whoever is responsible for that needs to have their head on the chopping block. How could you let [censored] fester to the point where it explodes and you have a player of Trac’s quality wanting out?
 

But as the panel says, the likelihood that any team has anything even remotely worthy to give us in a trade for Trac, especially a team he wants to play for, are close to 0. 
 

Looks like a long summer of building bridges and mending broken egos.

Possibly something a CEO would be across if he wasn't "working from home" and lives in Noosa

Surely this is not true. 
Also if Pert lives in Noosa, he should have been over to Trac’s place every night singing him a lullaby. Not letting resentment fester.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
