Don’t love the public pile on happening with Trac. Yes he’s been inaccurate shooting at goal, but he’s still having a great year and would be leading our BnF. He’s sitting top 5 in the league for the coaches votes and Is contention to win the Brownlow. He’s a gun. Not perfect, but no player is. 

The public pile on is clearly effecting him too as he’s responded to Instagram posts targeting his output. Can’t be good for his confidence and mental health and turning round his accuracy woes.

Watch Kane Cornes and other media hypnotics turn around now and defend him and say it’s not good the media are piling on…. after laying the boots in themselves initially.

Yeah I mean we can be concerned about his goal kicking, but this man was instrumental in winning us a flag two years ago. Let’s just calm our farm.

Yeah that's not gonna do anyone any favours in the head. 

The guy doesn't need a total revamp, just a 10% improvement would see him back to a decent level. A lot of his shots recently have been from open play as well.

BUMP - firstly, I didn't see the first half. .... but, has he "clicked" and will this give him confidence moving forward forward.

Tracc kicked truely tonight, but you could tell by his body language he wanted to be on ball a majority of the time.

For me it is the perfect game from him tonight, exactly what we needed from the Tracc.

Visualising success worked out!  Hopefully he takes confidence from tonight and it carries him through the rest of the season

Loved his kick in the last minute.  Simple easy run in and kicked through it. Three from three for shots.  Other goal was running into goalsquare for goal.

The last kick for goal was right in front of me. He looked straight at me, but didn’t gesture or do anything after it sailed through. He just maintained eye contact.

I can only assume he was transfixed by my beauty. It’s ok Christian. You’re only human.

His goal kicking accuracy is the only thing stopping him winning the Brownlow this year. He’s a brilliant footballer who has struggled with accuracy this past 1-2 seasons after a great year in 2021.  Even with the inaccuracy he’s a top 5 player in the game and a weapon around the ball. I’m not piling on like some here saying he cost us the game etc. if he didn’t have the game he did, then we wouldn’t have even had the shots on the first place. He’s not alone in his accuracy woes, but at least he’s contributing in other ways unlike a lot of his teammates.

The club needs to help him with the mental side of it. He’s clearly capable, just needs help. Not sure if that’s a sports psych or someone else. 

Good call.

I reckon you just had a very kickable face
