Whately asking good questions, straight to the point. Roffey trying to play a straight bat and has said 'I've not talked to him about that so can't comment' a few times now.

I just need a brief run down. I'm not going to listen to it.

It's not much. A lot of 'I'm not going to comment, I'm not involved in those discussions, I haven't spoken to Trac/Trac's family.' 

Also a lot of 'we love him, we're working with him, we're looking to get him back on the field next year'.

 

Does feel like an appearance for appearances sake (as expected), not getting anything new here.

I'm assuming she's in studio? Watch the media  doorstop her on the way out.

 

She’s on the phone 

it’s not a great interview. Very generic

How has she not spoken to trac? She's the president.  I would have thought she'd be the one that needs to know why a player wants to leave. She needs to hear what's going on.

This is a train wreck.

She’s not sounding good to be honest. Shouldn’t be doing the interview. Not saying anything except sounding like she doesn’t know enough.

 

Can anyone imagine Eddie McGuire saying "I haven't spoken with the family"?

He'd be at their bloody doorstep.

Seriously the club buckled here and gave into Demonland hysteria for Roffey to speak.

To be fair, we were never going to be happy with what she had to say given everything going on, but it turned into a pretty embarrassing performance from Kate. Tried to give political answers that didn't really say anything but was caught out by Whateley in her tripping over her own words. I know it's not her direct area of responsibility, but it came across as very poor that she hasn't spoken to Christian or his family given he's arguably our most valuable asset.

Probably a lot of people would be happy if she said she would resign or if she presented the project for the training ground.


I think it’s becoming clearer how this club went from what it was in 2021 to what it is now. Poor leadership from the top. She has to resign and step aside. Utterly pathetic and embarrassing.

takes no responsibility, according to Kate, she's doing a good job

Edited by Wilson7

She did acknowledge there was issues at the club. I wish Gerard asked her what they are. He was pretty soft with his questioning

So Kate hasn’t spoken to Tracc or his family (lately)

”not my Job”???

She is living in fantasy land 

Clean out the office….


What's the point of this interview? 

It's not uncommon for a President to give 'Board-type' answers, but then why bother? If you're going to do an interview like this, you know they'll want SOMETHING - and if that something (the only thing so far, I guess) is that you say you have not spoken to Trac it means there are only two scenarios:

- She hasn't spoken to Trac. But if that's the case, WHY NOT? Jump on the phone, be proactive. Do something. 

- She has, and she's lying. Again, what's the point? This is the most likely scenario. 

These things are pointless, and do not help us at all.

Was happy to state that Kozzie is not leaving but couldn't say anything about Petracca because he hasn't spoken to him.

She's a dead set liability

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
