Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread

Whately asking good questions, straight to the point. Roffey trying to play a straight bat and has said 'I've not talked to him about that so can't comment' a few times now.

    I just need a brief run down. I'm not going to listen to it.

    It's not much. A lot of 'I'm not going to comment, I'm not involved in those discussions, I haven't spoken to Trac/Trac's family.' 

    Also a lot of 'we love him, we're working with him, we're looking to get him back on the field next year'.

    Does feel like an appearance for appearances sake (as expected), not getting anything new here.

    I'm assuming she's in studio? Watch the media  doorstop her on the way out.

     

    She’s on the phone 

    it’s not a great interview. Very generic

    How has she not spoken to trac? She's the president.  I would have thought she'd be the one that needs to know why a player wants to leave. She needs to hear what's going on.

    She’s not sounding good to be honest. Shouldn’t be doing the interview. Not saying anything except sounding like she doesn’t know enough.

    Can anyone imagine Eddie McGuire saying "I haven't spoken with the family"?

    He'd be at their bloody doorstep.

    Seriously the club buckled here and gave into Demonland hysteria for Roffey to speak.

    To be fair, we were never going to be happy with what she had to say given everything going on, but it turned into a pretty embarrassing performance from Kate. Tried to give political answers that didn't really say anything but was caught out by Whateley in her tripping over her own words. I know it's not her direct area of responsibility, but it came across as very poor that she hasn't spoken to Christian or his family given he's arguably our most valuable asset.

    Probably a lot of people would be happy if she said she would resign or if she presented the project for the training ground.

    I think it’s becoming clearer how this club went from what it was in 2021 to what it is now. Poor leadership from the top. She has to resign and step aside. Utterly pathetic and embarrassing.

    takes no responsibility, according to Kate, she's doing a good job

    She did acknowledge there was issues at the club. I wish Gerard asked her what they are. He was pretty soft with his questioning

    So Kate hasn’t spoken to Tracc or his family (lately)

    ”not my Job”???

    She is living in fantasy land 

    Clean out the office….

    What's the point of this interview? 

    It's not uncommon for a President to give 'Board-type' answers, but then why bother? If you're going to do an interview like this, you know they'll want SOMETHING - and if that something (the only thing so far, I guess) is that you say you have not spoken to Trac it means there are only two scenarios:

    - She hasn't spoken to Trac. But if that's the case, WHY NOT? Jump on the phone, be proactive. Do something. 

    - She has, and she's lying. Again, what's the point? This is the most likely scenario. 

    These things are pointless, and do not help us at all.

    Was happy to state that Kozzie is not leaving but couldn't say anything about Petracca because he hasn't spoken to him.

    She's a dead set liability

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
