There’s a new game in town. 

It’s called “put the words in Kate’s mouth”.

Play on.

You may well be spot on.  What concerns me most, regardless of whether the media is beating this stuff up, or not, it is doing damage to our band.  Membership attraction and retention, sponsor attraction and retention and players wanting to come to this club.

Even more importantly to me is that this bile is being leaked from WITHIN the club.  Why?

BTW, Trac's partner is a Lawyer and already taken over a substantial slab of his business dealings, away from Connors Sports Management Team, to set up their own brand.

At the very least, the head of our club needs to deal with this head on.  Seems to me, Max has been the only one to be brave, front the media and be upfront.  In such cases, it should not fall entirely to him.

Our President, in particular and the CEO, need to jump on internal leaks as soon as possible and be assertive.  They need to find out the source of these leaks and deal with the perpetrator/s.  ASAP.

Your first para nails the risks. What I don't get is how exit meeting conversations get out. Limited sources possible. So who is leaking? Goody??Trac??

My query still stands on just who is running Trac's strategy on this. 

Trac doesn't understand he's not the club. The fans are. As per the EPL.

I'm already of the view that he can stay or go. Don't care as long as the deal works for the team.

I'll happily stick to watching all other team members next season

Are we making an assumption when we think that Pert and Roffey are on the same page?

We may, but that doesn't necessarily mean that either are right, they could both be wrong but for different reasons.

If they're not, that's a concern and is a reason why we should undertake an external review preferably headed by Peter Jackson if he's willing.

Love the Ox

have had a few Demons conversations with him over the years. 
He would be great in this situation on a mediation table, along with others. He would get both sides talking, similar to Max

I don’t get the impression that Trac wants mediation or to mend the relationship or even for the MFC to improve whatever aspects he’s unhappy with. 

I think he wants out completely and no amount of sorrys or improvements that happen in the future do not matter to him because he will be at his preferred destination.

With Christian back in town I think Ms Roffey and the Melbourne Football Club should send all of the members a box of Debauve and Gallais Le Royale 54 chocolates for all of their suffering over the past three weeks (only the best will do)

Any chocolate will do.

Those sound delicious though! 😋

I don't. Says the most predictable stuff without much thought, and said Xerry deserved AA ahead of Max - without mounting any form of arguments - , but apart from that was "...pretty happy with the selectiions for AA..."

Unforgiveable

Indeed. Classified Information 💀


These 2 have dodged a big bullet but it seems Tracc wants action. So let’s give it to him.

In no order of preference: 

A. An actual social media presence. Tracc on TikTok 356k, Melbourne fc 89k. Hawthorn 298k

You know why Tracc thinks he’s better than the club? Because he is!

B. Changes to the footy department. List management? Recruiting team - new pro scout? Coaching!

C. Genuine progress on Caulfield or any other home base 

D. No more culture short cuts, no more soft list management calls. Anyone just cashing cheques has to go.

We got to see real action. No more asleep at the wheel.

So, Christian Petracca who has played football for 10 years, is better than the Melbourne Football Club who has stood proudly for over 150 years, having invented this game, pioneered the women’s league and had countless other champion players, some of the greatest players of all time in fact, because he has a bigger social media following than our club?

Can someone turn Demonland off and on again? We need a reboot. 

I wonder if Garry got involved in matters.

Maybe Kate agreed to do the interview because she already knew trac would stay but because of pressure thought she'd better speak.

We should all be banned for 1 day so we can regain our composure.

I'll vote for any candidate who promises to totally ban the use of the word 'culture' in any mfc external communications whatsoever

Can add 'learnings' too

And bans any comunications with morris or mcclure

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
