hopefully the afl will cotton on to what is going on

Jared Rivers should be definitely in the side ahead of Howe

Hope they didn't send him to the Epworth

not sure if anyone saw this interview with Jaspit Bumrah yesterday after the match? "A lot of experience and learnings. A lot of the younger players have come in, and the learnings will help us in future. They have gained a lot of experience and they will go from strength to strength. It is all about adapting and learning. We will want to take the learnings forward." Sounded very similar to some MFC post game press conferences

But is Ang the right guy?

I think Biffin jnr refers to the son of the demonland poster with the handle @Biffinas he is the one mentioning Biffin jnr

I can confirm that he will definitely retire, just not sure when

Couldn't he have been taken in the rookie draft?

Ai can produces a better jumper in 10 seconds

how do they get it so wrong so often?

Pert quits CEO role in latest Dees’ off-field drama The embattled Demons chief executive informed staff of his resignation on Thursday morning following a turbulent period at the club. Pert’s departure comes ahead of the handing down of the findings of two separate reviews into the club’s operations. The reports were received by the board at a meeting this week. Pert is expected to stay on in a consultancy position to help steer Melbourne’s proposed move to the Caulfield racecourse. He made headlines late last year by declaring Melbourne’s culture “the best I’ve seen in 40 years”. Melbourne has been contacted for comment.

people quickly forget that he was lucky enough to have been coached at senior level by 8 different coaches 😊

Has there been any indication that the club is considering Riak Andrew? Does anyone know if he is likely to be drafted?

correct although labeling him a personality is a stretch. He basically has none and is a talentless unpopular clown that to his credit somehow has managed a media gig despite seemingly adding no value. There are many media people that I don't like or don't agree with but I can see their relevance but with this individual genuinely cannot see any redeeming features.

Lamb said Trac contacted him in a media conference https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1678922/trade-period-tim-lamb-media-conference?videoId=1678922&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1729070499001

Trade period Report Card Damien Barrett - E - continued to spew the same rubbish year after year and doesn't understand that his opinion is of no relevance Sam McClure - F - damaged his reputation even further making up stories and embellishing others citing sources that cant be revealed due to the sensitive nature of the topic. Tom Morris F (see above)

any reports of Oliver putting his stuff back in his locker?

regardless on being pro or anti-pert this is a disgrace and an integrity issue that can be reported here https://eafl.austfoot.com.au/afl-makeareport/en/#/home

A source believed to be one of Clayton's parents who wishes to remain anonymous due to her personal involvement with her son has called out McClure for being full of 💩

must be true because he has a source who wasn’t willing to speak publicly. He really is the lowest quality journalist and makes Damian Barrett and Tom Morris look like Pulitzer Prize winners

FWIW - the following is a response from the club to an email i sent last week to Brad Green. Thank you for your email. We recognise that this has been a challenging time, and we truly appreciate the support of all our members. As a club, we are continually seeking ways to improve, and your feedback plays a vital role in that process. External experts have been engaged as part of both the Board and Football Department reviews. As previously communicated, the ambition of both review processes is to strive for excellence and to ensure, that as our game demands, we evolve to achieve sustained success. The reviews of both the AFL program and the Board will be completed in October and the priorities identified will be communicated to members. In relation to the AFL Trade Period, we encourage you to only listen to direct club sources for your information. AFL List Manager Tim Lamb addressed media on Monday and made it abundantly clear that Clayton won't be going anywhere. You can have a watch of his interview here. In addition, during his address at Friday night's AFL Best and Fairest, President Brad Green reinforced his excitement of seeing Clayton as part of our midfield in 2025. This speech can be viewed here. With an increase in speculation and rumour, we know this time of year can be unsettling for our members and supporters. We encourage you to keep an eye on our club website for official updates. We thank you again for reaching out to share your feedback. We truly value your thoughts and will be sure to relay them to the appropriate team.

I would actually be interested to know whether anyone who follows footy respect or have any positive thoughts about these football media reprobates such as Barrett, McClure et al. Their opinions are worth no more than the average punter but they get these media gigs and seem to lack any charisma or personality that I would have thought would be required for such a role. Surely there must be better options out there?

Goodwin is OK
