Now that's a brand

I feel dirty as I actually thought that was well written by Damo

that's never stopped them before.

maybe it wasn't Darcy that caused the damage but Isaac Heeney jumping over him in the Colgate ad?

FWIW Received the following standard response from the club, not Roffey herself, yesterday of all days. Thanks for your email and for contacting the Melbourne Football Club. It’s incredibly important for the Club that our leaders are hearing from our members and supporters, which is why these inboxes have been created. Whilst Kate Roffey will endeavour to respond to as many emails as possible, that won’t always be physically possible. While the 2024 AFL season hasn’t been the one we would’ve hoped for, the focus is now on understanding what is required to move forward. There have been conversations with many of our leaders, Christian Petracca included, over recent weeks, about our opportunities for growth. These conversations, which are a regular part of footy, have been open and constructive, and stem from how we can get better as a football club. Our leaders are committed to working together to find a path forward, towards improvement for the 2025 season. Thanks for your continued support.

Reckon we offer him up to Freo for Andrew Brayshaw and one of their first round draft picks. They are a big club who pull big crowds

Normally I would agree with you but after waiting 50 years for a premiership I thought that I will always have that memory but even that will now be tarnished forever if he leaves the club in this insidious manner

if he wants more Instagram followers he should just go on MAFS like every other social media wannabe

what makes little sense is the article says he told the club during his exit interview on Monday, that he wants to play for a rival Victorian club in 2025 but also states he wont ask for a trade for fear of further inflaming the situation. so he wants to play for another club but he won't ask for a trade? is that like hoping to win the lottery but not willing to buy a ticket?

Would petracca even be able to pass a club medical to be traded to another club this year?

Can we all email the club and ask for the personal address and email of Peter Lawrence so we can provide him with our thoughts on his legal proceedings?

Could you rename this thread Jack wants in!

Surprising they haven't reported the following "Premiership full forward kicks 6 goals on weekend but prefers to give footy away than to play on with dismal demons"

hopefully not another

FWIW I have just emailed the following to the president, most likely it will have no impact but I felt I had to send it because i have had a gutful of this Hi Kate I have never written a letter to the football club before but felt compelled to due to the current noise and rumours surrounding the club and I believe it is time to request some sort of response from the president and not just be content with the well written but standard company line message from the CEO Gary Pert. I have been a supporter of the MFC for 56 years and a member since 2002 despite not living in Melbourne since 1992. I was like all of our long-suffering supporters delighted that were finally able to break the premiership drought in 2021 and been delighted with the club's progress over the last few years. It is expected that the that level of performance cannot continue for ever and eventually there had to be a decline in form but what we are currently experiencing as supporters should not have been expected. The perception of a club in decline both on and off the field with ongoing concerns regarding key players and continual concerns around culture is something supporters shouldn't been expecting so soon after reaching the pinnacle of success. The thought of our only ever Norm Smith Medalist wanting to leave the club and this being leaked to the media could be the final straw for many supporters and destroy the momentum the MFC was in becoming and remaining a respected club. Watching Simon Goodwin having to respond to all this noise during his pre-game press conference was unfair and he did a sterling job but really the club should be doing a hell of a lot more to defuse this noise and provide the supporter base with the confidence that the club is united and in control and strong enough to not only survive this current mess but to actually go on the offensive and show the world that the MFC isn't the meek victim it has shown itself to be for the majority of my life. I will continue to pay my family membership regardless but my fear is the next generation that we finally were getting on board will be lost forever.

Houston heard we have a problem?

I think Alan Richardson was at the club before Mark Williams

that was the point of my question, why is Clayton even mentioned in this thread?

Has there actually been any solid info connecting petracca's concerns directly to Clayton Oliver?

Petracca is ok

This season gets worse and worse

If Houston has made his intentions clear that he wants out, this will become a distraction for Port Adelaide and they should 100% trade him and offer up their first pick to the MFC to get him off their books whilst continuing to pay a large portion of his salary.

don't worry we still have our usual barnstorming last quarter to come
