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.Ā 
Ā 

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

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

    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 Ā have an opinion on the CEO he played under for 9 years, his whole career basically.Ā 
    Ā 

    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?Ā

    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.Ā

    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.Ā

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

    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.Ā 

    Ā 

    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.Ā 
    He was home sick last year too and re-signed for 4 years. Could have signed for 2, could have left.Ā 

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

    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?Ā 

    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 @WalkingCivilWarĀ 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.Ā 

    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.Ā 

    One journalist said heā€™s homesick. Another is saying itā€™s the direction of the club.Ā 
    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.Ā 
    Ā 

    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.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.Ā  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.Ā  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.Ā  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.Ā

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
