    Given the board vote about the Oliver trade happened well after the reports around Pert making calls this would seem to be correct. It's hard to dismiss the high possibility of misalignment currently at our club between the board, executive and football department.

    The Board were definitely blindsided, now whether that was for 5 minutes or a week, that is up in the air

    Geelong have been working Bailey Smith for 2 years. Probably the same with Clarry. Media do their bidding every time. Also Pies and Blues. Good luck controlling the narrative when any of them are involved.

     

    Correct. The MFC could be dead silent and all the information is still being discussed by everyone. 
    My belief is that most trade talk is generated by Player Managers 

    Let’s be honest, it’s their job.

    Yep, this is where we differ. 
    I don't think there's a perfect way to handle a situation like this and I know my approach has it's down-sides... but I also know a good number of supporters agree with me.
    If people within the club choose to let self-interest govern decisions, I'm happy for the media to call that out.
    Fix it and move on.

    Yes we all know that you have an Agenda

    Yeah I get that. I reckon this is just the nature of sport these days though. Lots of money = lots of media, both good and bad.
    At the end of the day, we all want success for the club and to be proud of the Dees. 

    The nature of Sport has nothing to do with it. Many Clubs don’t make a sound, i wouldn’t write to a Newspaper venting frustrations, which does nothing more than feed the Frenzy…..

    Congratulations on at least being transparent as to your identity. The same question still applies to you though: are you being 'compensated' to launch a very public campaign against the club you claim to love, or is it just another self-serving exercise to promote your own content and media production aspirations? 

    The reason some might be skeptical, is that others are obviously being paid to currently post on this forum or have connections to those who are, and your 'open letter' was accompanied by a video uploaded on a social media account which is solely focused on tourism and has never had anything remotely to do with football.  

    In fact, I'm hard-pressed finding anything related to your support of the Demons across all your socials over the past decade and beyond, except for one 'repost' of our grand final victory. You do however reference West Ham United a lot, which seems odd compared to your total lack of public recognition given to the Dees until a week ago. 

    I'll take your word for it though that you are - were - a member of the MFC, as I likewise have rarely ever stepped foot in our home city. I did however grow up in Aussie Rules territory in South Australia, supporting the Redlegs, which explains my connection to the red & blue, as frequently detailed right here on this fan site.

    Note to admins: RickyD has openly connected his Demonland profile to his petition to his Instagram page, so I'm not 'exposing' or asking anyone to reveal themselves. My question is why he has continued to go so hard after getting his fan letter 'surprisingly' published in the Age, which is already so ridiculous to begin with.

    Ricky has since humbly expressed his regret for bringing additional negative media attention to our club - defending his approach by counterbalancing it with what is in his opinion the best interests of the MFC - while at the same time courting the likes of Kane Cornes on Twitter and gleefully promoting the letter's publication.  

    On that point Ricky: why do you have such a big and happy 'disarming' smile while complaining about our governance on film? Surely you must be as bitter and disenchanted and full of vitriol as the rest of us to take such drastic actions, rather than looking like someone who just had their cocktails comped on Koh Samui. 

    You're bringing serious Brett Kirk vibes to that recording mate. I would love to compare your expressions to what might be expected of @Sir Why You Little filming a similar hostage video from Thailand. But some other quick questions while I'm here, which I'm sure you can answer in your adopted tone of voice:

    Why did you spell 'idolized' in the American fashion in your letter to Brad? Did you write it in its entirety yourself? I quickly cross-checked all your other blogs I could dig up and didn't come across another instance of you using a 'z' in place of an 's', only examples to the contrary. But I know you've been out of the country a lot though. 

    Also, some of those on the record as having driven the recent board challenges at other clubs as highly paid strategic comms outsiders - and now being suspected of doing the same at the MFC - had very lofty positions at Tourism Australia, where you also worked, at the same time. Do you perhaps know of them or have any relationship? 

     

     

     

    Nice research mate, i think Ricky may be a little quieter going forward….

    This is why it is hard to actually pinpoint whether a Club is leaking information. There are now so many levels of Social Media, words can travel so easily

    On this day 76 years ago, Melbourne defeated Essendon by 39 points in the grand final replay after the teams drew the previous week.

    MELBOURNE 6.2.38 9.3.57 11.6.72 13.11.89

    ESSENDON 0.3.3 5.5.35 6.6.42 7.8.50

    The Bombers had only themselves to blame for their misfortune. They beat the Demons comfortably in the second semi final but almost kicked themselves out a fortnight later in drawing with 7.17.69 to Melbourne’s 10.9.69. 

    Chief football writers Hector de Lacy of The Sporting Globe and Alf Brown of The Herald both considered Norm Smith the best on ground for his work in leading the Melbourne forward line, with The Herald calling it one of the greatest
    games of his career. 

    Other players highlighted for their efforts were Melbourne full-forward Jack Mueller and centre half-forward Lance Arnold, centreman George Bickford and wingman Max Spittle. Essendon's best were Bob McClure and Norm McDonald.

    7.27.69

    That was hard to watch. The Vultures wanted a good feed & TL stood his ground. 7 minutes of basically the same 3 questions 

    Nobody wants to join the Demons, but we do have ca$h so deals will be done…

    Yes it is a fact that we finised 14th and we must accept that, but the point I was making that focussing negatively on the number 14 may not be reflective of the actual situation.  Feel free to feel as miserable as you like about things. Each to their own. 

    I am not being miserable. I expect a lot better next year 

    2024 was garbage

    You put so much emphasis on the number 14.   Whereas anyone who actually thinks beyond that crude number knows that the comp was very close this year and a few close losses and all the other reasons (you'd call them excuses I know) could have made that number considerably less.   Even less than 9.  But enjoy your misery while you can.

    Or you could just accept that we finished 14th in 2024, and a lot of hard work is expected before next season begins…
