He certainly needs to keep out of the media and concentrate on his game.

If I was paid $500k a year in a career that lasts maybe 10 years and could earn $1m a season because I potentially have the talent... “yes boss”.

No-one at the club said he can't use social media, so who's the boss you are referring to? 

I think having fun and likable personalities out there off the field is good for membership. It's one of many factors that will help make this club a powerhouse again I reckon. Trying to turn the players into robots that can't have a bit of fun off the field will have a negative impact on the way they go about their footy. I'd rather they have a bit of fun and enjoy what they're doing.

Will happily take a Modogon-esque team of epicly performing robots over Blankety Blanks-like funny b$ggers.

I'd say the two are mutually exclusive. 

Who out there performs really well in a job they hate? Happy workers = productive workers.

I’m more torn than Natalie umbruglia right now.

I’m all out of hope.

This is how I feel.

Trac does not deserve a seniors game right now.

Struggles at picking up ground balls. Fumbles the hell out of them.

i have no issues with petracca - it was bloody tough for forwards out there tonight, and everyone who thinks he's going to have a 'break out' game needs to understand he's probably always going to be a 15-25 possession, 4-7 marks, 1-3 goal a game player...tonight he had 17, 6 and 1 straight - more possessions than any other nominal forward

Cannot continue to ignore players in good form at Casey, because ‘big name’ blokes can’t get dropped. 

Trac is only still in this side because of reputation. Had Harmes or Neal Bullen been stinking it up this bad, everyone would be out for blood. And they’d be on their arse in the VFL. 

It is time to go to Casey for a nice little period and stop thinking you’re undropabble. Also please learn to kick goals good.

Doesn’t deserve to be in the team on form, but he’ll keep his place purely for what he could potentially produce. Very frustrating player and it doesn’t look like he’ll become the player we thought he could be. He’s definitely not capable of becoming a full time midfielder, and now he’s not scoring or getting involved as a forward either. He just lacks clean hands collecting ball quickly and has lost his vision to hit up short kicks for goal assist that he was so good with up forward last year. 

Maybe try him off half back to spark him?

Yet clean hands was the thing that stood out when I first saw him at training and later in his first games. Clean in the air and clean with ground balls, what has happened? Confidence issue?

Spot on Jaded. Tyson was probably undroppable a year or two ago and like it or not he was recalled after shredding it to bits back at Casey. Now let's not get bogged down in the whole Tyson thing, but the narrative from Goodwin around selfless, respectful, team oriented etc. etc. seems to contradict the Match Committee's unwillingness or inability to send these selection messages to big names

I think he needs to shed a couple of kegs and get fitter, and run for longer at speed..  We need him to get to more contests, one after the other.

 

It's time to lose that puppy fat christian.

I think Bartel hit the nail on the head. Just does the small things really poorly. Refuses to run back when he takes a mark and then does nothing kicks time and time again of one step.

I've been backing him up most of the season but I am fed up now. Has been quite soft with his attack on the ball for a while now.

Started the season nicely but is just content doing OK by the looks of things.

might be time to poke him and rattle his cage.

Changed my username after last weeks game as I was sick of Petracca and his lack of effort combined with his general softness.    Unfortunately the mods changed it back.

  The laziest player in the comp who fumbles every ball, drops easy marks and generally looks disinterested.  No sense of urgency. Thinks hes a superstar when in reality he should be at Casey.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
