What about this guy...

 

 

He’s the one I’d be after if there’s even a sniff that he’d want to return home to Victoria 

Offer him Trac’s contract if need be (too soon?)

Should've just drafted him in the first place. Him and Anderson were always going to wind up the best players from that draft.

It’s either Andy Brayshaw now or we’ll wait for next year (at a minimum).

No way we move him for picks.

I received the following intel from a source close to the club but wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the matter

If Fremantle’s Hayden Young does ask the Dockers for a trade, it’s understood he wants to play for Melbourne. 

The Demons are fully aware of Young's desire to join them in the event he chooses to leave Fremantle.

Who cares what Dane Swann thought of Pert? Has no bearing on anything. Just peddling scuttlebutt.

Sure thing champ. 
 

Playing group who played under CEO for almost a decade has an opinion on his leadership. Somehow that’s relevant because of…reasons?

That Swan and whoever anonymous else at Collingwood allegedly  didn't like Pert several years ago isn't relevant. As said. Champ.

He’s been in AFL management for 17 years. Somehow the playing groups opinion of his performance for the majority of that career (~10 years) isn’t relevant. 
 

Make that make sense.

Is that for real or just a swipe at how the media creates something out of nothing by starting a completely unfounded rumour?

Yikes… coming from his management

Hard not to see this happening if he’s still keen on a move come the trade period and we get a strong offer from Freo or WC

Wtf is all this BS.

So the man extends contract two months ago and now he wants to leave.

Amateur hour AFL, only here this could happen. Well maybe in the NBA too.

Get the feeling this is his management leveraging the current situation for a contract renegotiation.

Is that even legal/ethic?

Why not? If Petracca goes there will be a 1m+ hole in the cap to be filled.

Viney leveraged an offer from North to get an extension with us only a couple of weeks ago.

One thing is to have a third party spreading rumours. But to have your own reps to go and offer your services to a rival club while under contract?

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
