Fair enough.

We all get emotional as we all love the Melbourne Football Club.

I just would be quite devastated if we lost Clayton Oliver, especially if it was for a mere pittance to Geelong.

Clubs like Geelong think if you want something you trade for it simple to get the deal done it's all about the long game.

    Pert sounds like the kind of power hungry politicking guy that uses a home base development project to service his own personal needs and wedge himself into an either/or sack me and it collapses ultimatum. 

    That really sounds like the kind of fake two-faced person that develops shallow interpersonal relationships that slowly crumble as more and more people cotton on to the grift over time. And we're  where we are now.

    That can't be good for "culture"

    So I take it you have had personal dealings then?

    The project falls over if he loses his position at the MFC, is enough of a red flag to me.

    And how does it fall over then? So if Pert got hit by a truck tomorrow the caulfield project gets called off is that what you are saying?

    Anyway, I guess we shall wait and see what happens at the Melbourne Demons Best & Fairest tomorrow evening and throughout the rest of the trade period.

    You're allow to have an opinion and you're allow to express it - don't let anyone tell you that you can't.

    We're not saluting red flags.... (yet!) 😉

    Probably not, but it sounds like Oliver's a goner 'ere.

    How can I know? Rumours that the project would fall over if Pert was sacked, were reported last month. Just like 'rumours' of Clayton Oliver wanting to play for Geelong, are being reported now.

    So no facts to back that up and where was it reported about the caulfield project.

    What rubbish show me where players don't want to come.

    Houston did want to come to Melbourne but changed his mind when realised we’re a rabble, sick of this club, just sick of it!

    So Houston said that did he, or are you mind reading.

    Pretty sure Sam Edmund was reporting it when discussing the review about to take place. Of course we do not have any facts. It's not going to be a contract written on a piece of paper.

    It’s well established that the Houston deal was as good as done

    The issue is clear communication to members. I guess those at the BNF will get some of that, maybe?  But that's got to be balanced with the internal processes of the club.  Yes we want to now, but at the same time the clubs doesn't want to share everything they are trying to do with the public (leaks aside) .

    So have click bait muppets that will get a grain of a rumour and publish about it to fill the media cycle.  And then it gets out of control.   

    So in reality what do we want from the club in its communication to sort this out.

    Oh so nothing by the club, so do we only accept facts from journalists now who everyday tell people who's leaving their club's every day just like Sparrow was going then signed and the list goes on.

    Yeah nothing to see hear, club is run like a well oiled engine, meanies in the media making rumours up from thin air just because they hate us 🙄

    What sort of nuffie actually believes this garbage? The club needs a cleanout top down, Goodwin is the only one I'm 50/50 on but the board, Pres, CEO, Richo all need to go.

    Are you in at the Club every day....because if not, like all of us you have NFI

    I'd like to reply using the impeccable song lyrics from Billy Joel - feel free to hum along if you know the tune....

    Everyone is so untrue
    Honesty is hardly ever heard
    And mostly what I need from you..." (MFC)

    From my current experience working at a large corporate, one message the executives all say is “align, align, align”. Always make sure everyone is on the same page. This is the most basic thing an organisation can do.

    The fact that there is clear misalignment between the footy department and the CEO which has now played out publicly is quite simply a disgrace. You can defend Pert all you want, but this club is run by amateurs at an executive level.

    Peter Jackson must be laughing at the farce. Having turned the MFC from a basket case to on the right path to its first grand final win in 57 years, he reportedly warned the club about Gary Pert (Josh Mahoney being his well documented choice to be his successor) and was ignored. Now the club has turned full circle back to basket case, with Gary Pert reported to be shopping around one of the greatest footballers to ever pull on the MFC jumper in Clayton Oliver. Totally bizarre.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
