One does have to chuckle. Media= club in crisis, Oliver, Petracca and Viney all going. Early gameday thread goes into meltdown . Rabble, club asunder, sack the coach, no game plan, trade most players. Now, the Suns are not world beaters but we are the only interstate club to beat them on their own dung hill. Correction.  Destroyed them!  Not sure who is more overeactive. The media or those on this site. Our upside is huge. Trac, Clarry and Jack going nowhere.  Trade period will be active. Likely top 10 pick. Young 0layers developing at the rate of knots. With a modicum of good fortune we'll be up to our necks in it in 2025!

Stolen from a post on Twitter, but this a great pick up.

“Trac spent months in Queensland then conveniently avoided this away trip when so many of the injured players travelled, and our twos were up here too. Today was a very ‘whole club’ vibe. None of this is reflecting very well on him. This is a direction, and he’s not in on it.”

He can either get on the bus with the rest of the team, or he can get out, and go somewhere else, knowing that he will miss out on any shared success to come.

It would be great for Trac to stay, but the club can’t worry about losing players.

Even the best players are just threads in the culture of good teams and clubs.
Ask Buddy about leaving for more success elsewhere.

This high won’t last 😂🤩😳🤓

Well you can’t seem to get over me either. Salivating at the chance to troll me after every post. 
 

I know I do some good work on here but sheesh it doesn’t justify a hard tag. You do know what they say about taggers though right?

Could we have something a little special on our hands with Disco Turner?

Couldn't have asked for more from the team today.

Jack Viney what a beast.

Turner was fantastic up forward.

McVee continued to build on his great form and gives us another option in the middle next year. I thought the Kolt had a decent game too, I do t get the queries over him, he's a first year player, played around 10 games but he knows how to find the footy and he is a footballer first (not athlete). I think he'll develop bicely over the next couple of years. Robbed of a goal today as well.

Roos looks ready to explode next year as well.

Kozzie very quiet and Rivers had a mare. Tomlinson not far behind him but TMac/Lever/Salem held the defence up.

Fantastic coaching too, completely nullified Rowell in the contest.

Beat the filth next week, end their finals hopes and finish up with a positive ledger (12-11) and we have something positive to take into next season.

Love Jack. 7th in the Brownlow last year and has been a warrior year after year. 

Hope he stays, will be missed if he goes.  

But, if he goes North, or whoever seeks his service, they must pay up.  No freebies. 

Could be a win win.

Close, Czechia, Karlovy Vary which is the spa country and close to the German border.

There are also some lovely national parks northeast across the border if you have the time.

That's a super pleasing win considering our performance this season and scrutiny over the past week or two. Now we just need to end Collingwood's year and we'll be ending on a solid upswing.

Jack Viney is an absolute warrior. No Trac, Clarry, or Gus. Ably supported by Rivers and Langdon but boy he played so well. He's been really inconsistent this year obviously but when he flicks the switch he farkn goes. What a legend. 

JVR, Disco, and Petty... our future tall timber up forward? The best thing about it is that all three of those guys are really dynamic, with JVR ably playing ruck and Petty and Disco both really good backmen. That versatility is such a handy problem to have when it comes to selection.

One thing to highlight was Kolts clean pickup late in the last quarter and instantaneous handball to a player running by. It cane from a centre bounce, absolutely class. 
 

He will be a nice rotation through the midfield off a big preseason next year.

Nathan Jones said that Kolt was very highly rated internally.

I'm confident Clayton is going nowhere.  

Pretty sure Viney will stay put too. 

But on tracc it's as simple as you've got 5 years left on a contract. Work with us to make us better or retire and rescind your contract. We must not entertain a trade under any circumstance. Refuse to be bullied and stand together. If he's in great.  If he's out, he's out on his own, not in other colours.

If he wants out, then we have the power to demand some serious currency. I’d rather he move this year, so we can go to the draft, than in future compromised drafts.

Club is bigger than the player.

Impressive show of unity by the whole list sans one at home expecting a baby and another one gone missing somewhere after the game.

Not as bad as last year's final and the Brayshaw hit. That was the worst. Oh guess what, the same opponent. Just hate them so bad.

It would be really nice if people fully understood and recognised that Petracca,Oliver and Viney are going nowhere. Fact. Full stop!!

That would be great if indeed it was a fact. But it isn’t. Any or all of them leaving us is also not a fact. You can speculate on the likelihood of such but you can’t say anything is a fact.

Yes I can. I will wager any amount you care to nominate.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
