Of this I have no doubt. If Collingwood or Carlton had access to early picks I do not believe Christian would be a Demon next season. Now the hard work begins to get Trac the support he needs to rehab and get back to playing at his best. The club also needs to get to work and be a better run club top to bottom.

Can I ask you why you believe Trac was silent for 19 days while the MFC was trashed and roasted in the media for that entire time when the whole story could have been put to bed straight away?

Bloody great news. Now to work on supporting Kozzy and getting him to stay in the red and blue.

It's surprising how worked up people are getting over an email, as if they don't already receive hundreds of spam emails every day or week. Let's put things in perspective: it's just an email, not someone showing up at your house and digging through your personal belongings. You have options—delete the email if it's not your cup of tea, or take a moment to open it and read what a passionate Dees supporter has to say about the current state of our club. Are you genuinely satisfied with how our club is being managed at the moment? If your answer is "Yes," then I have to say—your indifference or lack of concern for the club's future is contributing to the very issues we're facing. But if you think everything is fine and we don't need an external review, then let me tell you, you might as well prepare to see your favorite players wearing a [censored] Collingwood jumper. That's the level of complacency you're endorsing.

I honestly doubt we will hear anything anytime soon since we haven't heard anything until now.

The information was from 2 weeks ago. I didn't know this thread existed until today. Mate is OS now but will see what I can find out. Don't know anything about the crown land stuff. Mate doesn't work for the council. Works closely with them on various projects. At the time he claimed the info was solid. No idea how this news of a board spill effect anything.

I'm not sure the Trac Family is a #1 fan of Garry's at the moment after his last two diatribes on On the Couch.

Have a very good non-dees mate who works closely with the local government in the area who reckons this deal is all but done. He doesn't have any details on timelines or costings though. I have no more information and can't vouch for the veracity of the information only to say that I trust his word implicitly. Understand that I am just an anonymous person on the internet so use what ever amount of grains of salt that you need.

Always liked Tomo. If not for the ACL he might have been a Premiership Player. He has been stiff in that we have some solid key backs and always performed admirably when filling in and unfairly dropped even after solid games. Cannot begrudge the guy for seeking opportunities elsewhere and I wish him the best of luck. Thanks for your contributions Adam and good luck wherever your footy career takes you.

I genuinely believe that many people here are significantly overestimating the potential trade value we could get for Petracca, regardless of whether we consider his recent injuries or not. Even without factoring in those setbacks, it's important to recognize that we're also not accounting for the challenges of attracting contracted players from other clubs who might be interested in joining the Demons. Petracca hasn’t just put his own future with the Dees in jeopardy; through his grievances, he's cast a shadow over the entire Melbourne Football Club. His actions have made the club appear dysfunctional, adding to an already problematic narrative that the MFC has struggled with for years. Sure the MFC has contributed to that perception but this situation has further highlighted the issues and magnified them significantly. This entire situation has turned into a public relations disaster for everyone involved. Fairly or unfairly, it has tarnished our image, reinforcing the perception that we are far from being a Destination Club. It’s a mess that has left us looking less appealing to potential recruits, and that’s a serious issue moving forward. Even a flag didn't make us a Destination Club.

We might need to retire the guernsey and perform an exorcism on it. Holy cow.

Who is the Pickle in the media that Garry is referring to?

Sparrow is our latest casualty in the midfield. Surely this means Judd McVee will get some more midfield minutes this week. Andy Moniz-Wakefield racked up 35 possies in the 2s. Will he get the call up this week? Any other changes for the Pies? Can’t see Benny Brown getting a swan song even after 6 goals in the e 2s considering the 10 goals from our key forwards against the Suns.

So our starting midfield next season is Sparrow, Rivers & Laurie.
