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"

    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!) 😉

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
