Demon Disciple

Kate has stated that she doesn't think we need an external review on afl.com.au Wow, I wonder why she thinks that, what is she trying to hide? Now i definitely think we need one https://www.afl.com.au/news/1207361/melbourne-demons-president-kate-roffey-denies-stand-off-with-injured-superstar-christian-petracca

No, but refusal to accept reality and not make necessary changes can be and often is worse.

Will we even be able to name a 22 come round 1 next year?

We’re starting to get desperate if that’s the case.

100% this. Leadership under Roffey and Pert has gone belly up. Both need to go and pronto.

Trac’s apparent actions have made me become pretty disenfranchised with him. If it is indeed his ‘brand’ that he’s most concerned with, he has done a pretty good job damaging it himself afaic.

Don’t want McKay. Trac for Curnow & Walsh please

Up until 3 months ago that was Trac to a T

Does anyone here seriously think Trac will be in red & blue next year? Too much has occurred and trust will have been broken with the club and playing group with Christian. The damage is done.

Agree with his last line.

Any chance of getting an EGM? because like many on here, I feel as a 30+ year member I am entitled to some answers. We need transparency now more than ever.

Thing is, we’re responsible for closing said era. All through being naive, ignorant and complacent.

Trac will play more good football no doubt, but at 29 he’s at the peak if not slightly passed his best football. As much as it would hurt to see him go, it would help fasten our “rebuild” and if we look too offload Trac, then clearly we are in rebuild mode. Where would that leave the club with Clarry? Pick 5, plus a few more juicy picks, could certainly launch our new midfield brigade. And I’d much rather leaders of Gawn and Viney showing them the ropes, than the likes of Trac and Clarry, who are immature by comparison.

Dont bother with the rib-eye, just get as much Kobe wagyu as we can

I wonder who gets the final say?

We need to be bold. 3 picks in the top 20.

Yep, though wait for the AFL to change that this off-season

Simply must take that pick 5 to the draft. I’d even be willing to try and bring in another top 10 pick to try and speed up our ‘rebuild’, much in the same way we did in 2019 with Kozzie and Dogga

We simply need to take pick 5 to the draft.

Get ready for the mother of all even ups after half time if that’s the case.

The umps appear to be doing their best to get the Aints over the line, 12-1 free kicks. Ouch.

I’m not a Laurie fan, but he needs to be given a good run of games in the AFL to see if he will make it instead of dropping him after 1 game, playing him in the VFL for another 3 before getting a call up, only to be dropped again. Thats on Goodwin and his inability to properly develop players.

Unless drastic changes are made, 2025 will be more of the same I fear.
