Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV – Roffey and Pert Gone

[Toump Ass]

Gus will go down as the greatest Demon of all time

Agreed.

 

[patmatcat]

Wow, what a trainwreck. Full review needed, appears changes at the top need to be made.

 

[Boristown]

On the bright side, that train wreck of an interview will probably be a blessing in disguise. Surely she can't stay on as President now. Her Mal Maninga moment.

 

[Toump Ass]

"They all get homesick" LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Scythe94]

Dancing Potato – should we launch a board challenge?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Remember when someone asked what tomorrows disaster would be last night in the trade and draft thread ? Well there you go. We never fail to deliver.

 

[booshboy]

It's hilarious at 11.30 Gerard gets well informed people calling in, at 12.01 Dwayne cops nothing but mutants.

Yet to listen to the Roff-meister disaster but liked this article on the terrible comms from the club:

From the Pocket: Melbourne must leave buzz words and fan favourite behind to rise again

The pain of potentially losing star midfielder Christian Petracca can be turned into an opportunity for the Demons to change and replenish

All good fellas a bloke from the All Blacks came over last month and said it looked fine to him

 

[Proper Gander]

Oh my.

I didn’t get a chance to listen to that until now. Dreadful

 

[Proper Gander]

There was only one thing that she was clear about which was that we don’t need an external review.

Exactly what would it take to trigger one? Crikey

[tomcruise]

Well lucky everything's fine then!

 

[dazzledavey36]

 

[Proper Gander]

He would, too

 

[tomcruise]

Thanks for these, mate. I'm not on twitter and loving the updates.

 

[tomcruise]

Wonder if they'll put this interview on Youtube with an emoji

"Kate Roffey on the radio! "

 

[Proper Gander]

Oh wow what a day!

I just got an email from ceo@melbournefc. It went like this

Hi [Gander]

Thank you for getting in touch with the Melbourne Football Club.



I’d firstly like to take a moment to acknowledge your frustrations. Please know that we hear these. There’s no doubt that recent months have made for some challenging moments, for our players, coaches, staff and members like yourself, and we understand the emotions that come with that.



As we approach the AFL Trade Period, we expect a significant amount of rumour and speculation in relation to player movement, and are evidently aware of commentary surrounding Christian Petracca

. As we have previously said, both in a recent letter to members and in the media, Christian is an integral and valued part of the Melbourne family. He is a contracted player, and will be wearing the red and blue next season.



As a football club, all we want to do is get better. The 2024 AFL season wasn’t the one we had hoped for, and the focus is now on understanding what is required to move forward. There have been conversations with many of our leaders over recent weeks about our opportunities for growth. These conversations have been open and constructive, and we are committed to working together to find a path forward, to ensure we can be the best we can be in 2025.



We want to stress the importance of every single member whose heart beats true, so we thank you again for taking the time to reach out. We will need your support both now and into the future, [Gander] so we hope you can stick with us.



Regards,

Jessica

I don’t believe this. They are still saying they are going to force Petracca to honour his contract at gunpoint. My God

 

[Proper Gander]

Oh god and I’ve just doxed myself too

Lucky you, a copy and pasted PR response that is addressed from a random staff member.
