fwiw shaw backtracked at a million miles an hour re trac going to the filth on 3aw

became much more of a 'every club would be looking at him!' vague statement rather than a determinative 'pies are gonna get petracca woot woot!' statement

    QB Demon clearly said that Collingwood is the third biggest team in terms of financials and membership no.s yet you try and twist his post into a preposterous claim that Melbourne is bigger than Collingwood. Give it a rest.

    Does anyone know who Trac's manager is. If its Paul Connors beware. He is Ollie's manager. I will not forget the Judd debacle.

    It's not Connors, but it is his agency. I believe he is managed by Robbie D'Orazio.

    Yeah didn’t want to put it to bed. If I was him I would have just said that I’ll be staying. Then at the end of the day it’s up to other clubs to offer the coin to drag you out the door.

    Yep, thought he had a real chance to put it to bed and kept repeating a rehearsed response "I'm contracted for two years and the club is 3-0 and playing good footy", which is funny when I type it it reads positively. He then gave a relatively weak response to "do you want to be a one club player?". Which he replied with something along the lines of "yes, of course I do". I certainly feel worse from seeing that, than I did reading Shaw's comments on the weekend. Trac had a real chance to put it to bed eg "don't be ridiculous, I love the club, i'm not leaving" kind of statement and he didn't go there. It's a new era...who knows?

    I have no issue with Petracca not saying anything, nor should he. He's contracted for the rest of this season which is has just begun and next.

    He'll be looking at his true big pay day and his manager will be telling him there's no point rushing in to anything now.

    We need to get Oliver, Salem and potentially Weideman locked away and then the club can go to Petracca's management. I don't think he's the kind of player where you'd even do a Wingard/May style pre agency trade either, you're going to keep him for as long as possible then work it out.

    I doubt Cripps is going anywhere but he and Carlton are still negotiating and he's the captain! With such a tight cap and star players keen on big deals it's a really tricky process.

    No he didn't..  reminded me a lot of how Jesse Hogan use to respond.

    None of the players ever answer that question directly anymore...they are all well coached by their management

    Would you light money on fire if you were him? That's pretty much what committing to staying does. It also probably becomes more of a story than the cliches. The cliches are useful because they really mean nothing. 

    Until the club puts an offer on the table and rival clubs do the same there's no point worrying about any comments.

    Some hilarious responses to Tracc on 360. As if he would say one way or the other.

    Players leave options open now. 
    Contracts mean nothing 

    The more games we win, the better the odds all our core players stick around. 
    2019-2020 was disappointing

    Yep 100% - let's just hope we keep winning right? If we do you'd expect this to take care of itself

    Not sure how else Trac could’ve answered the question. It’s not like his contract expires in 6 months, we just completed Round 3 and he still has 18 months to go.

    It is entirely in the hands of the Club. 
    Time to perform on the Big Stage

    Our Home Ground has 100,000 seats

    We should have ALWAYS been a Destination Club.

    Jack Riewoldt answered the question for him in a much more reassuring way. 
     

    But anything can happen in 2 years. And he’s definitely here for at least that.

    You mean the Hogan who left for Freo and is now at GWS.

    Good point...

    Correct.

    Also manages Trac.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
