clue less because the CEO has not responded.

Don't think demonland is one of his concerns for the club to explain for the weird and wacky theories posted on here and believe me there are plenty of those.

The fact that there is clear misalignment between the footy department and the CEO …

None of which is true, much less a fact.

So the Club has had a disastrous 12 months, appears totally dysfunctional but it's all good.

Nothing to see here.

You're sounding like Jim Jones just before the Kool Aid.

"The false dilemma fallacy involves presenting a limited number of options as if they were the only options available. This forces people to choose between two extremes, even though there is a spectrum of possibilities in between. The fallacy is misleading and prevents honest debate."

So Goodwin wants Oliver gone? Considering how much this club leaks, if that was true it would have been reported by now and the opposing stories wouldn’t exist.

See here is the difference, never said nothing's wrong or right all I have said st the start people are accusing or inferring Pert is all the problem from home base to trading Oliver without facts try to understand the subject before jumping in.

i dont really expect the CEO to respond to Dland.      We would not be clueless if the CEO got on the front foot and responded to the media omments. I would prefer that he got on the front foot and initiated the comments. Control the narrative as they say.

I do await any conmments coming out of the BnF tonight(not AGM as previously stated). If the CEO does not address the issues of player circumstances and the club culture, responding to media reports I will be disappointed. It doesnt take much and with all players in attendance (not Trac)would be the ideal forum to get back on track and look forward.

I cant get there but hope it will be a great night of celebration.

On MMM this morning Gawn seemed to suggest the leaks were coming from the list mgmt committee (10 people). Surely the club needs to identify the rat and get rid of them.

Do we know who is officially on that committee?

All untrue and don’t blame anyone here but Pert was doing what he’s told — all of you PLEASE stop buying the player agent driven grovel your hearing on radio it’s absolute tripe and aimed squarely at getting pressure on Melb to accept a lesser deal. 
 

ANYONE who believes our forty dept didn’t ask GP to make a few calls is sImply misinformed and that is now factual — club has stated as much!

Cats/Clarry agent (Trac agency is same so is Bailey Smith’s.. 🤔) leaked this a sub did right thing and informed them we’d made calls as a reaction to him meeting with clubs we decided to see what he was worth.. TOTALLY fair — albeit naive — as thinking the agent wouldn’t leak that to help perpetuate a deal with a team without collateral was silly if honest. To get a deal with Cats the player agents only hope is to create a market whereby he is worth LESS than market value, but it was a false economy — cus we weren’t willing to accept less than market and never where — So let’s stop this nonsense.. Your being MANIPULATED!!!

don't forget there is a few people who have left the club in recent days, both staff and players

not saying any of them have loose lips, but now they have left they may feel less obliged to fraternal secrecy

Well according to today's press the board has told Pert that Clarrie is going nowhere. Where does that leave Pert after he rang clubs to gauge the interest in Clarrie! It would seem there is a serious disconnect between the board and the GM. In the outside of football world it would make the GM's position untenable. 

PS how can Pert be now part of the review?

I'm in favour of Pert going, and I think he will by the start of our 2025 season, but to be fair here - Pert was given permission by list management to sound it out, then the board had a vote about trading Oliver some time later and the idea was voted against.

One source went as far as saying that the jobs of premiership coach Simon Goodwin and Head of Football Alan Richardson are no longer safe; such is the scepticism over the intentions of some.

Thanks. DD36.  There’s a lot going on inside head office   Off field stability is causing us all concerns   

None of the several sources that spoke with Foxfooty.com.au were in favour of dismissing either Goodwin or Richardson from their current roles, nor were they against Brad Green’s involvement in the review.

"Talking to this masthead on the condition of anonymity, multiple sources spoke to an internal conflict between members of the board "........  i could get a few mates to say all sorts of [censored] to me about any football club to suit my narrative as well....and write that sentence. This anonymous [censored] is getting tiresome.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
