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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Ok that changes things! Thanks FFD.

    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.

    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.

    He's not laughing, I can tell you that much.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
