Demonland

I've watched it on Kayo but that's not available in a sharable format on here. Fox Footy sometimes put segments like this on YouTube or Twitter/Facebook. If it is posted there I can easily share it here.

Do you have a link to it online?

i'm keeping an eye out and will post it if it gets put up on YT or socials.

I'll post it if it goes up on YouTube or Socials.

Wearing Black and White too 😱

Speaking of Tracc, this was the King’s Birthday game when his second unravelled. The old adage about good kicking being good football was proved beyond a shadow of doubt as the Demons hit the post five times and lost a goal review while the Pies could not miss from any angle.

Nothing has been officially revealed but it has been surmised that all of the above factors are involved to some degree or another.

Day 2? It's been 7 days now but feels like ...

Lebanese cucumbers?

More (but not much) in this article now. Petracca provided an update on his injuries which saw the Norm Smith Medallist and brilliant midfielder take an extended break in Noosa this month. He returned to the club last week and has been engaged in talks with club officials about some of his frustrations, the club has confirmed. Key sources are adamant he is interested in a trade, however any deal would be near impossible as Melbourne would demand at least two early-first-round draft picks in return. In the unlikely event of a trade, Collingwood is seen as the frontrunner for Petracca. But the Magpies do not have a pick in the first round of this year’s draft and could be handcuffed. The only way Petracca would be able to explore a move out of Melbourne is if he forcibly demands a trade. It would be the biggest blockbuster move since former West Coast superstar Chris Judd joined Carlton in 2007 Petracca, who met up with Brisbane’s Lachie Neale on Saturday morning for a conversation about mindfulness, was thrilled with Melbourne’s win on the Gold Coast. “Loved watching the boys win and seeing my teammates playing the way they did yesterday!,” Petracca said via text.

Who is Robbie?

In case you haven't seen @WalkingCivilWar training thread here is her exclusive photo of Tracc at training today.

Don't be a Dill. He's Oregano. I'll see myself out.

You'll have to wait for the Tom Morris exclusive.

Presumably the Demons did not return calls line is regarding enquiries about the meeting and the content of what was discussed.

Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca addressed his premiership teammates about his reported issues at the club this morning. Petracca spoke with his teammates late morning at the club to discuss the speculation he was interested in a trade from the Demons. The meeting was to provide clarity and understanding about what he had experienced in the wake of his life-threatening injuries in the King’s Birthday clash against Collingwood. That included the physical and mental impact on him in the wake of suffering a ruptured spleen, four broken ribs and lacerated lung. Melbourne has strongly denied it will consider trading him. The Demons did not return calls.

Don't go shy on us now @WalkingCivilWar? Door stop him. 😜

Reports have him linked to a job at the AFL.

Melbourne captain Max Gawn has conceded there would be “fractures” in the Demons playing group after missing out on finals but hosed down renewed reports that superstar teammate Christian Petracca wanted out of the club. Gawn, who has re-signed until the end of 2027, said he was in “open conversations” with Petracca and denied any suggestion the playing group was upset with him spending time in Noosa while he recovered from the car-crash-like injuries in June that forced him to spend two weeks in hospital. But while he said everyone, including himself, was disappointed at how the season played out, mixed messages of player discontent “can circulate around” as they express their frustration. “There’s always fractures in a team which has played finals for four years and now isn’t playing finals,” Gawn said on Monday. “We’re pretty flat on that. At the halfway mark we were top four, that’s pretty flattening. “My mum and dad, if they are talking to friends, would say ‘Max is pretty disappointed at the moment’ and I am. You can see how things can circulate around.” Gawn, however, moved to shut that down and said post-season conversations would all be geared around healing any rifts and putting the club back on course for 2025. “Obviously, the Trac stuff, I’m in open dialogue with Trac, I don’t see the build-up that has happened,” he told Triple M. “He went away for nine, 10 weeks, four of them to Noosa. He had to spend a few weeks at home after the surgery. I’m happy he did that. I’m happy he went away and any player that is struggling with anything that’s going on, it doesn’t have to be two weeks in the ICU that Trac had, it could be a rolled ankle. “Anyone that is struggling, more than happy to grant leave. That will all play out, there will be conversations held over the next two weeks. “I’m pretty focused on Collingwood to be honest. “We play Friday, then Saturday and Sunday will be a write-off, then come Monday, Tuesday, I will start talking to the board, CEO, Goody, all the players about how we make this club better and I think that’s the way to do it.”

Cutting off the questions here. See you tonight at 7:30pm.
