"... but the sideshow has popped up again and again" Your words, perhaps you should tell us what YOU mean! -

In round 22 we lost by 2 points to PA. In round 20 we lost by two points to GWS. In round 16 we lost by 5 points to Brisbane. You will have to rely on your own memory regarding how those results hinged on flip of the coin moments in the final seconds of the game. Reverse those three losses and MFC would currently be equal 3rd on the ladder! I'm not against the type of review that every team conducts post season and agree wholeheartedly that change is required. I simply aren't buying in to the Culture, Shock-Jock scenario!

Just a reminder... In seasons 2022 & 2023 MFC slipped out of the top 4 for a total of two rounds. That's post our Premiership year. Even in 2024 we have been in the top 4 for 7 rounds. This record has been the envy of every other club. Compare this to the records of Collingwood, Geelong, Richmond, West Coast & Bulldogs, post recent Premierships. Our recent slip from grace is hardly a matter for a 'Royal Commission'. I also note that at least 21 of the current list are signed beyond 2025, add another 9 if you include 2025.

Let's see... if Jefferson is in, who goes out? Melksham? Disco? JVR? Petty? He may get the Sub job... no, not versatile enough!

If you are not already seeing Kossie as a generational talent, something else is filtering your point of view!

I'd rather not!

Hello, could this be Tom Morris... wanting to eek out further drama (therefore more clicks)? Trac, quite clearly, hasn't been silent on this "saga". He is simply selective about who he is sharing his view with, and at the moment it ain't you, Joe!
-
I counted the use of that term... got to two, then I got drawn in to his very professional handling of the Club's position and his complete control of the press conference, so I may have missed one... hardly worthy of a smug comment!

The great Barassi wasn't MLK! Some of his most popular quotes as orator were basic football truths... "Practice makes perfect' is [censored]. Only perfect practice makes perfect." "If we're going to fail then we will fail my way! And my way at the moment is handball!" Ron Barassi to Gary 'Crazy Horse' Cowton: "What is it with you? Is it ignorance or is it apathy?" (Cowton's response: "I don't know and I don't care") Those that harp on about Goodwin harping on are expecting their football coach to be a wordsmith. Its really about how the players receive and respond to the message. By the way... Premierships coaching Melbourne, Goodwin 1, Barassi 0

Potentially!

What other Club Presidents have you heard from lately? John Olsen Andrew Wellington? Luke Sayers? Mark Korda? David Barham? Kylie Watson-Wheeler? Grant McCabe? Andy Gowers? I could go on... and on... and on...

When Barassi left Melbourne, I stayed at Melbourne. Then Barassi came back! Then Barassi left Melbourne again. I stayed at Melbourne! Then Barassi came back and we both celebrated 2021 with a passion!

This is what will happen next… 1 The club will say nothing to be seen here, move along. 2 Christian will indicate that he has had a difficult time of it, and initially he and his family were disgruntled with the way things were handled. 2 Christian will say that these issues have been discussed with the club and all is good! 3 Christian will say he loves the club and he wants to be a one club player 4 The club will release a statement that emphasizes that Christian is a required player and respected leader of the group, who has been earmarked as a future captain. 5 Tom Morris will serve up a grab that reiterates that Christian Petracca would leave the club if he wanted to, but at this stage he doesn’t want to!

This thread needs to be put in a time capsule. When opened in 2525, it will stand as evidence of how the media created moral panic amid once like-minded citizens in 2024! The future analysis will highlight how particular personalities delighted in running with a concept that generated fear within the test group!
-
Look at how easy it is for Tom Morris to send ‘you’ into a frenzy! Fact check required… then resort to common knowledge!!
-
Surprise, surprise… no mention of Petracca in the Ch 9 Sports Bulletin. Yet they succeed! Look at how our DLanders have taken the (click)bait! Where is your dignity?
-
I wonder if Ch9 will actually return to this story in the Sports Report
-
Get a hold of yourselves DLanders. You should know how the media works by now… Petracca is a future captain of this club, who has a lucrative contract. This is the short summary of what Morris has to say on the issue… “Petracca would leave the club tomorrow if he wanted to”. Get a grip, don’t be on the Media drip!
