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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
