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.

Next thing you know Scully will say he's going.

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

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
