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.

If you saw him walking off the ground at half time, you could see how upset he was. He was visibly distraught.  At this point in his career there is absolutely no doubt in mind it is mental. All

Now kicked 6. 20 for the year not good enough.

Right now our best set shot kick in the midfield group is probably Jack Viney. Who would have thought.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
