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! 😋

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. 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

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. 

[dees189227 12,361]

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'm not sure they have to be honest.

Still things to play out with Roffey in my opinion. We'll see what happens over the coming months.

[daisycutter 29,596]

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

I reckon that might have been the case.

The reconciliation, it all happened to quickly.

Obviously a little hyperbole there but Tracc is just one person cooking lunch for his fiancé and has developed a huge brand.

Melbourne FC won a flag and have mucked up their brand.

The club that turnsover 60million or so a year shouldn’t be getting lapped by one player with a starting salary of 1 million.

This site would be nothing without hyperbole

In the club or in this forum?

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

I have heard an unverifiable rumour so chose to ignore if you wish. Roffey will depart and be replaced by Steve Smith (I think that was the name I heard) former MCC president.

There is a fair bit of media beat up. All clubs would have players who express concerns at meetings. Just like we get at work.

Whately is still beating up the medical alleging negligence etc. The process followed by the Dees docs was standard practice at the time. It has been changed after the relatively rare Tracc injury. I think players with rib injuries will have internal scans.

It will all blow over soon.

Fingers crossed this actually occurs.
