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.

Probably one of the best players in the past 20 years at the club says he has problems with the club, and the President hasn't spoken to him or his family....... simply unbelievable!

The sheer fact that despite being one of the best performing sides over the last 4 seasons, we are back as the perceived laughing stock / problem child of the AFL, speaks to an undeniable failure of l

I had a robust discussion with her in the Presidents function on Friday night. It got quite animated. No alcohol or vulgar language were involved but she was left in no doubt how I felt of her re

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'.

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.

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.

She is living in fantasy land 

Clean out the office….

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
