Morris really needs to reevaluate his Sources or else he won’t last another 6 months…

He should never have resurfaced from his misogyny. Typical AFL boys club mentality still living in this industry

You were pretty with him the other day. Said it needed to be aired and change would happen as a result. Are you back pedalling SWYL?

Not at all. Changes are happening 

Morris needs to find better sources, not for one minute did i think Tracc would leave. 
Does the Club need to improve on and off the field?

Yes it does…

I agree, we need changes, but you were very laissez-faire about Morris and by extension Trac [censored] on our club.

It needed to happen. All of that.

How about driving change without airing dirty laundry?

I don’t believe Morris was Lying. But his sources are rubbish. 
And i have no doubt Tracc has been frustrated with the Club for a number of reasons, but i do believe that those frustrations are being sorted right now. 
He doesn’t have to give a running commentary on his feelings to the public, just because you want it

All he had to do was get his management to act exactly as Peter Rhode did on behalf of Kozzy yesterday. 

"Melbourne has been assured by Kysaiah Pickett's management that he is content at the Demons despite continual approaches from clubs..." NewsCorp.

Then it becomes a non story.

But that didn't happen. Instead the club was dragged through the mud.

Glad his management said no and he's working to rebuild relationships and the club is looking to get better too.

I hope he stays, playing it through the media was not the right strategy.

Only because you believed it.
Tracc is rehabilitating after a life threatening injury, he is entitled to say nothing 

He is a long Contracted Player 

To keep his heart rate down, he probably has his phone and computer turned off

Where did I say Trac needed to say anything? He has a management team. Just like Kozzy. They could have fizzled it. They didn't.

You were ready to show him the door with a few Draft Picks…

What a cockroach 🪳 that Morris is, trying to create "story of the year" and continually doubling down on his sources.

Absolute tool of the highest order.

The more worrying thing is where this leak came from.

Not going to label anyone but it's either come from one or two parties.

I hope it's not a leak from within the club.

I was surprised at how civil Goody was towards him in the midweek presser last week!!

So just reading an article about this, I'm thinking trac wasn't ready to talk to any players about what he was going through & the players probably didn't realise just how trac was feeling.

When trac revealed all the other day now the players know & I reckon they'll put his arms around trac now & check in on him a bit more

I saw Caroline Wilson go on a rant about the clubs communication. The bottom line is the club has a responsibility to the player’s privacy. It isn’t up to them to talk to the players group about Trac’s state of mind unless he explicitly gave them permission to.

Really? Old Time Demon for sure. Nice bit of sexism. She's a good reporter that writes some things that make Melbourne supporters annoyed from time to time. Her gender is irrelevant.

I reckon Trac would have said something pretty quickly if the same level of negative press was being associated with the CP5 online brand he's building as is the MFC by virtue of his silence. 

His management could shut this down in 5 seconds flat if Trac wanted it, he wouldn't even have to speak himself, he's making an ongoing choice not to do so.

Maybe so, we have no idea what the reasons are. I think last years offseason has a lot to do with it, but that is only my opinion. As i said last week, he has basically told the Club to get its act together, which I think is a positive

Something he's very entitled to do, but this isn't the way to do it. the speculation will now continue until Trac is traded, or trade week ends if he doesn't speak, and personally, i suspect that's what he wants.

    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
