Someoneā€™s head needs to roll. Pert needs to leave yesterday.

I listened to Dane Swans podcast (and lost 20 IQ points) and also learned that Swan and the players didnā€™t like Pert at all. They were joking about how people who donā€™t like him donā€™t call him ā€œPertyā€ and Swan said the playing group had plenty of other names for him. 
 

He is quite fond of Eddie. And said even though he was a nuffie he was passionate and professional. 

Iā€™m sure plenty will denigrate Swan as no brain surgeon, but he definitely does not GAF and is very honest.

    I am now liking Pert even more. You're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    So a premiership player and Brownlow medallist who has close connections to that playing group, canā€™t  have an opinion on the CEO he played under for 9 years, his whole career basically. 
     

    Tell me how thatā€™s irrelevant?

    One of my favourite pastimes is deciphering the naughty word blocked by the profanity filter and I reckon I get it right most of the time but this one has been stumped. It could be so many juicy words.

    You talked about leaks I was talking about finding number 2s

    This is [censored]. Essendon didn't have an exodus this bad after they got their players banned for PED's we're having one three years after a flag. FML this club.

    Is this conjecture or inside knowledge? 
     

    I love the likes from the same ole same ole. If your agenda is to continually take the negative and blaming point of view, take interest in another club. Supporters you are not, along with the cronies on here.

    This is devastating news. To make matters worse Fremantle bigfooty 2024 List Management Thread are already welcoming Kozzie Pickett to Fremantle. It's going to be more draft capital we got in return for Luke Jackson.

    We wouldnā€™t dream of trading him for less than Sarong or Young

    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 thought his partner is Victorian so who knows. He lived with Uncle Byron when he shifted to SA to further his footy and schooling so it's hard to work out his home town.

    We saw his home town in the doco.

    He will never not be homesick. But homesickness does not always mean trade. 
    He was home sick last year too and re-signed for 4 years. Could have signed for 2, could have left. 

    I think the media is working over time to try and feast on steaming carcass that is our club.

    His partner is originally a Darwin girl.

    Didn't his management just come out and say he has no interest and leaving, as long as an NT team isn't around? 

    Yeah, what's happened in the last week to change that I wonder? šŸ¤”

    Why has Morris mentioned that Pickettā€™s reason is ā€œdirection of the clubā€? Thatā€™s completely false. How does channel 9 let that go on the air?

    Also I believe @WalkingCivilWar mentioned that Kozzyā€™s partner has family in Melbourne which has been helpful with the new baby.

    No it is not. But itā€™s also not outlandish to think that he said heā€™s feeling a bit homesick but he wants to stick around and the media is just feeding on our dead carcass. 

    If this was raised in the exit meeting, it stands to reason someone in that meeting has let it be known to the media. Either we have the dumbest club officials going around or it came from Kozzie.

    Hmm on second thoughts maybe we have media embedded in our exit meetings, would explain a hell of a lot.

    Could have come from someone Kosi casually chatted to perhaps. Could have also been completely taken out of context. 

    One journalist said heā€™s homesick. Another is saying itā€™s the direction of the club. 
    I have people who know him better than these journalists who are saying heā€™s very happy.

    His manager came out only last week and said heā€™s happy at Melbourne. 
     

    I have no idea where this came from, but I donā€™t think thereā€™s much to it other than genuine desire to spend more time at home, which is miles and miles and miles away from any football club, not just ours.

    We have always been very supportive of him and his family connections and the only thing I believe in this report is that the club and his manager are confident it can be worked out.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscrayā€™s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last weekā€™s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
