There should be automatic financial penalties for players who wish to break contracts. A portion of their future club contract is returned to their previous club as compensation. They still will be well paid anyway so can’t moan about hardship.

    McVee already flagged he wants to return to Perth. It was a very early interview before he'd found any success. But I expect it to happen one day once he has adequately increased his worth to be able to make the request

    We need to invest in a club creche to better support the likes of Kozzie and ANB in their transition to fatherhood and provide space for Christian Petracca to feel loved and nurtured through cuddles and story time.

    We will drop 10k supporters minimum if Koz and Trac leave .

    If you're talking about game day we'll go into negative attendance figures.

    Yeah it was a long time ago - I'd need to scour the net for every interview McVee has ever done. Might have been a pod actually from memory, early on in his career. Said he'd like to return to WA one day. Could have meant post footy and he was very early, but pricked my ears at the time.

    Next to the club rehab centre? We'll have a village, rather than a training base.

    No, but there's a a fair bit going on at the MFC right now

    The Media must hate us. They didn't go after Tyson Stengle from Geelong when he had that incident in Geelong a few weeks back. It was barely reported. However, they come for us repeatedly. Why are we fair game to them. Now they're suggesting Kossie wants out with 3 years left on his contract because he's homesick. Ignore that his partner is very close to her sister who's also in Melbourne and that Kossie has family in SA & WA so where is home? Also that his uncle Byron encouraged him to accept our offer which he did. So because we were sympathetic to Alex Neal-Bullen, we'll open the floodgates. I want us to take a stand.

    We need Goody and Perty to get on the front foot and double down on their last double down about our culture being great before we lose control of the narrative here.

    Is that the sound of rapidly exiting footsteps on the gravel I hear?

    For what it's worth, the apparent talk from outer circles of the club is he won't be leaving. The homesickness is very real, and the club and his management are working on plans to help get him back to family more often, but there's been no indication he's actually wanting to ask for a trade. Take it as you would from a new Demonland member such as myself of course, and I only post this as rumour, but hopefully it is indeed the case.

    His family, at least his immediate family live pretty far from Adelaide and Perth. So I imagine the homesickness will be there regardless of where he lives. 
    I have no doubt he will end his career elsewhere, but everything I’ve heard recently is that Kosi is happy at Melbourne and loves Goody and his partner is happy here too.
    I also don’t think his manager would come out and shut down trade rumours a week ago, if Kosi was telling him he wanted a trade.

    I doubt Kosi only got home sick on Monday.

    Yes, very good comments. I think perhaps the scenario has been he's gone into the exit meeting and during the conversation has perhaps asked what more could be done in terms of him seeing family more often during the year. It would not be completely surprising that a leak from such an intimate meeting would eventually get wires crossed in the factual information.

    I am more concerned about who is doing the leaking. 
    I know Trac and Kos used to be very close. Did he mention something to him and he leaked it to make it look like our club is imploding?

    Surely not!

    Maybe the club should’ve just posted transcripts of the exit interviews to reddit - how is all of this stuff leaking!!!!

    Good question. Who the hell is leaking this stuff? And why? It can't  all be a media plot. Hard not to escape the impression the joint is run by buffoons. An impression reinforced by Goodwin's feeble, platitudinous pressers and a president who appears to have taken a vow of silence.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
