Demons chief Gary Pert says the club is doing a forensic examination of its football program as their disappointing 2024 season whimpers to a close.
Melbourne have informed members they are undertaking a review of their football program after it was reported that premiership midfielder Christian Petracca was disillusioned with the club’s direction.
After being eliminated from the finals in straight sets in the past two seasons following their 2021 premiership in Perth, the club has slipped to 13th on the ladder and out of finals contention with two games remaining. “The 2024 season has been disappointing for us all, and we must quickly turn our attention to what is required moving forward, both on and off the field, to ensure we climb back up the ladder,” Pert wrote.“A key part of this process is openly discussing any opportunities we identify where we can seek to improve. Over recent weeks there have been conversations with many of our leaders, Christian included, about our opportunities for growth.
