Featured Replies

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.

    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

    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

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
