Loved the big smile on Tracc.

That is not made up and he appears very invested.

That win was very important for the younger guys too, as it gives a sense of belief and they can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wholeheartedly agree. The pure joy on Trac's face in that changeroom before the team song was so heart warming.

As put in post elsewhere. I think he's in the wrong role. Slide Goody sideways.. Get a better strategic coach. Win win

Reckon Goody would do extremely well as GM of football - that’s all about relationships.

How do you know Ardu wants to stay in Melbourne? Certainly great and helpful if true.

Because she's said so. She's established a fashion company in Melbourne, and wants to continue pursuing it in Melbourne.

This is very encouraging. If his wife wants to stay that has to be a huge factor in his decision.

Can also confirm I know as fact that she wants to remain in Melbourne.

One thing is a certainty, and that’s laughing at Freo for eternity.

The St Kilda of Perth.

I went to Freo once and can confirm fashion died there.

Not that this is the only reason, but let's not forget that leaving to go somewhere just because mates are there is silly.

If your friend jumped off a cliff would you?


Very encouraging if his partner wants to stay. That's usually the main motivation for wanting to head home. I firmly believed he was out the door last season and if Bolton hadn't gone to Freo then we would've traded him for all of their firsts.

Letting him spend a lot of extra time in WA is really good from the club tbh.

I found this article surprisingly moving. Far more substantive than the usual stage managed “I love the club and want to stay” unconvincing reassurances.

The description of Kozzie being both homesick and wanting to stay was illuminating. This complexity is usually ignored by the media in pursuit of a simplistic and dramatic narrative.

Kudus to the journalist, Kozzie, his dad and the club.

Thats a strange analogy.

That's cool, Kat! What is the name of the company?

About six months ago Ardu told me that her and Koz are not leaving Melbourne.

About two months ago Ardu told me that her and Koz are not leaving Melbourne.

Two weeks ago in Perth (before our match) Ardu and I were talking and Bellanie reached out and started playing with my shiny red and blue nails. Ardu said she’s getting to know me and that it’s cool that I’m getting to see Bellanie grow up.

Now, I certainly ain’t fixin’ on moving outta Melbz so I can only assume Ardu means I’ll see Bellanie grow up in Melbourne. 😁

Ardu’s sister who is also her best friend now lives in Melbourne “not even 10 minutes away.” She spends a lot of time with the little family.

Kozzie’s sister moved to Melbourne earlier this year. She too is super close to Ardu

It is starting to feel like what the club has been putting out on a few fronts is more genuine than in the past. It just may turn out that dropping those first 5 games, weathering the storm and negative focus has bought the group closer together rather than further apart. Adversity can swing both ways. The win against Brisbane must feel so good within the 4 walls. The fact the club got Koz’s Dad to do what must be one of our best indigenous guernsey’s (although I’ve generally been impressed with all of them) and we’ve gone away as a group for a big win must really solidify the group. Long may it continue and long may Kysaiah Klem Paul Kropinyeri-Pickett remain a Demon.

Ardu stated in her staff entry post at the Victorian Koorie Youth Council that she's lived in Melbourne for 10 years, that was in 2022, so she's spent more than half her life living in Melbourne. She may originally be from Darwin, but if she's spend much of her life here, she's a local :)

A GM of football is responsible for managing the football department budget, and for managing the performance of the football department staff (coaches, fitness staff, recruitment, etc).

Relationships are important for all roles, including the GM of football. But it isn't just about being a great bloke everyone loves.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
