As in his prima donna demands. They were saying on Footy Classified last night that among other things he wanted to play in front of bigger crowds, and a bigger club to promote his brand. I'd be livid if i was a Melbourne supporter.

He's 27.
It's more his list of demands that makes me dislike him. Has the Judds written all over it where it was all about him interviewing the club. Smacks of arrogance
Add in the rumours, that he told his manager that he would not be traded to either St.Kilda or Hawthorn because they overlooked him. I’m so pleased we went Hodge.
Melbourne cannot win another premiership (in my strong opinion which is of no consequence at all) with Goodwin in charge.
He cannot bond the playing group, he cannot control the culture, and his game plan stinks.
So it is up to Melbourne how ambitious they are.
It is a complete failure. Especially considering on exclusions of concussions from insurance coverage.
Australian contact sports’ next major concussion headache could come from insurance companies
Zurich’s decision to no longer insure some professional athletes for concussion could have far-reaching ramifications for players and their sports.

I bet those teenage scuzzbuckets were confused to see a middle aged man chasing them down like the T-1000 in Terminator 2!
Would have been awesome to see Vossy give an old fashioned shirt front to lay them out as well
. That's Melbourne these days though, can't have a quiet coffee down the street without these teenage dirtbags almost killing someone with a stolen car........
Wheels falling off at Collingwood
Pies defender requests trade for family reasons
John Noble requests a trade away from Collingwoodwww.afl.com.au
They did drop Noble from the premiership team last year - so.....

I wouldn’t say Noble is a young kid
Well he is not going to say "I don't want to play with a bunch of drug ****ed losers"
I urge anyone who has an opinion on this one way or the other to read Ben Cousin’s biography.
IMO the clubs and the AFL have the ability to just about stop this dead by taking away what the players hold most dear to themselves and that is playing football.
Turn a blind eye or whack with a limp lettuce leaf only encourages dangerous behaviours to continue.

Key word there.
RUMOURS.
There is also rumours that he really likes what Hawks have/are doing & that he’d be quite happy to play at HFC.
Take every rumour with a grain of salt my friend
I think Nugget was referring to Chris Judd
Certainly a very valid point

Amazing story about Crazy Voss.
So glad he is ok as it could have ended differently if the perpetrator had a weapon accessible.

Our return to from has come at a good time given our Tassie deal will end at some stage between 2025 - 2027. Big crowds hopefully mean an increase of MCG home games from six to nine (Pies get nine, Dees & Tigers 10).
Bombers will get an extra MCG home game from next year so would likely stay in front of us even if we bring our Tassie games back to Melbourne (instead of Cairns or elsewhere).
but he's not exactly endearing himself to the Melb fans is he.

When the cops came to take over they actually found a kitchen knife hidden in the little s..ts pants!
Yeh that's the thing, man to man Vossy would destroy those little pricks but a knife makes any encounter like this one so random in its outcome.
Was incredibly brave what he did but I don't think anyone has ever doubted Vossys courage. Remember that time he had the horrendous leg break on field and he didn't even seem to show any signs of pain?

Have to say that the situation between Melbourne & Petracca is fast becoming untenable if these rumours are true.
Don't worry I thought exactly same the thing as you
I was talking about Judd. Don’t think we really need a 40+ Judd playing for us at the moment!
All good mate

The AFL is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock is the fact that reality operates independently of our desires, and the hard place is the AFL's preferred method of sweeping issues under the carpet until they disappear from the public eye, which is unable to manage concussive head injuries.
So, I feel quite sorry for the blokes (and glokes? What's a female bloke?) down at AFL House. All of their skills and experience are useless in the face of this unbearable challenge.
