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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
