Drug use rumours, public brawls, hospital visits: The bizarre three-year run crippling Melbourne's premiership hopes

Melbourne looked poised to be the AFL's next dynasty when it claimed the 2021 premiership. It has followed that triumph with a three-year run where almost everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong.

So Petracca who seems like a decent bloke, gets smashed for 'brand petracca' but an attention whore like Ginni is no problem.

 

[Markfs]

Love it. I tried so hard to like Ginni when he was with us - such a relief that we can now just call him the flog he is.

well said...he was a struggle for me too. I hate all those drop to the ground types. That wizzerd at the hawks might get his just dessert in the near future and we might see if his magic wand can reassemble his spine...

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

No wonder Petracca is all smiles this week & back hanging out with team mates

 

[BigVic]

We all will know what happens next. Geelong 2006, Richmond 2016, Melbourne 2024. All had external reviews

He's getting what he wants lol And you think players have no baring on decisions haha.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He's getting what he wants lol

Pity a bloke has to nearly die & threaten to leave before the club realises their culture isn't what they said it was.

Yeah
Should have been done a long time ago.
But guess something big had to happen to get them to listen.

lol & haha indeed

I don't think the push came simply from Petracca. Anyone with any influence at that club knew something had to change.

I just hope the outcome of the review won't mean they'll be any good.

Same.

They might make Petracca playing coach.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Pert might be in trouble

 

[NMBB]

Reviews can only go so far

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Pert might be in trouble

Likely why they went for an external review & not one run by him

 

[sr36]

I just hope the outcome of the review won't mean they'll be any good.

I don't like the sound of this. I was hoping they'd wait until all their stars were cooked before changing anything.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

If the review doesn’t end with Pert and Goodwin getting the a**, can you even call it a review ?

+ Collingwood 2017

North and St Kilda have also had them in recent times.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Had to happen.

I'm sure it was a matter of :

Petracca or Roffey ?

Easy decision.

Please god don't let that be the actual trade - Browne for Roffey

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

No wonder Petracca is all smiles this week & back hanging out with team mates

Initially I read the external review as "What's wrong with everybody else".

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Please god don't let that be the actual trade - Browne for Roffey

Don't worry, no one on our board would nominate her as President

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Veteran Swan provides update on uncertain future

Could we see Parker in new stripes in 2025?

He's getting what he wants lol And you think players have no baring on decisions haha.

I wonder if this review will find that it is “brand Petracca” causing the cultural issues.
