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.

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

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.

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
