    Everyone who was crying out to hear from her, you got your wish. 

    It's like she had been away on holiday for a couple of months and just rolled in from the airport with not a care in the world.

    After she made that comment, along with the one that "Joey from Moe" wouldn't be an MCC member, both crass, elitist , plain dumb and absolutely incorrect., I wrote to Ms Roffey.

    I was concise and polite, as a 50 year resident and worker in and around Moe, making it clear how I regarded her "throw away" (?) lines. I also pointed out how Bernie Vince played for the mighty Moe Lions after leaving the Demons, and former (2 games) player Declan Keilty is the current captain coach. Current Suns stars Bailey Humphrey and Sam Flanders are both from Moe.

    I was disappointed but hardly surprised she did not reply.


    In my experience this describes her perfectly and I’ve heard similar disdain directly from her mouth about Casey and its residents. I find it unfathomable that she can be so careless with her words.

    I said it last week but that SEN interview before the gold coast game Pert gave was awful. Nothing he said sounded sincere or substantive. Just a bunch of excuses, spin and complaints about all the things we've had to deal with that can't be controlled by a CEO.

    Mate, if you can't take control maybe let someone do the job who can.

    Off the topic a little - is KozzyCan a reference to Ozzie can… Daryl can.. Ozzie can??

    Forgive my tardiness in the US.

    Just quietly, how the hell has Roffey not spoken to the Petracca family? That is just straight up incompetence!

    Say what you want about him, Eddie McGuire would have been sleeping day and night at the hospital and doing everything in his power to help the equivalent say if Buckley was in Tracc’s situation.

    Hmmmm, rough interview that I don’t think she was properly prepared for (and Whately did machine gun the questions a bit). Some of the soundbites I would have wanted to hear from the club president:

    • The leadership group is aligned on our goal of XXX (eg what are they all working towards together - the “North Star” eg “giving our loyal members a MCC grand final within 5years time” etc.
    • “If Trac goes, I will” (really odd she has not met with him or the family, one of our more important assets)
    • “We are really proud of the team and our emerging talent, we do acknowledge we have some list gaps that we are actively trying to fill in the off season and we are looking forward to the 2025 season”
    • “There is a bit of external noise to the club at the moment - it is unfortunate - but we have to defend the red & blue”
    • “Finally to our fans, we are the oldest football club in the world & I personally feel we have let them down over the last 18m - you deserve better - and you will get it” (eg some humility)

    Etc etc. Unfortunately she came across distant to the workings of the club and the key concerns of the members - not what I wanted to hear.

    I think people need to calm the farm a bit.

    Roffey spoke poorly & should resign, but getting rid of her does not solve club culture, we won't start playing electric football again, she isn't responsible for our terrible recruiting, nor off field antics of players, Petracca won't stay if she leaves either, we have bigger issues throughout. It doesn't just end with her gone, we need a whole club clean out/direction and buy in. 

    It was only last week the fan club on here was saying all ok, nothing wrong! Anybody who had an alternative view was castigated

    I blame Maynard.

    I’ve spotted her shopping at Yarraville Coles - if she’s elitist, she’s not doing a great job of it.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
