Trac’s 2024 Season Over



Recommended Posts

From what Trac says in the interview, he had splenic embolisation - they closed off part of his spleen to stop the bleeding.  It's better than having his spleen out, it means he's still got part of his spleen doing the hard work of keeping infection out of his blood which is really needed back out on the footy field - lots of scratches and grazes full of glob knows what.  He looks a bit pale but maybe I'm used to seeing him all pumped up out on the footy field.

Great to see Christian being interviewed on the MFC website he is starting the long journey to full recovery and the fact that as previously mentioned he is eyeing his spot on the bench when he is fit enough to rejoin the club fills me with confidence that he will be OK. Thanks Tracca and MFC.💕

He re-signed with Gold Coast until the end of 2028, unfortunately for our prospects.

Ah apologies, missed that in the EOFY madness. 

Thanks

Not that there was malice with Trac, but Moore's knee taking no prisoners in 2024.

No malice? What about careless conduct or duty of care?!

Name another player in the AFL that leads with his knee like he does. He has already racked up 4 victims that I can think of (I am sure there are moore, pardon the pun):

Howe - concussed; Trac - almost killed; Witts - broken back; Noble - concussed

I’ve changed on this, at the time l thought it was a football act, now he’s broken Jarrod’s Witts vertebrae, this is beyond the joke, he’s a dud but so eloquent the footy world forgives without mention 

If it was May he would’ve been lynched by the AFL & media maggots 

Sick of this [censored], the AFL is rigged

I sorta argued with my good wife...a collywobbler ....at the time when Moore whacked Trac. Her view...how can you say that he's a good decent player...  Me..  no 'decent' player leads with a knee...and that's not how you 'spoil'.

Fell on deaf ears... and I decided I wasn't winning any debate.... (seldom do...lol ) 

Yes...the lad speaks well.....  he's also ....let's say....  very 'careless'

Fool me once shame on you....twice, shame on me...   what do we do for Four and above ???

He’s just as likely to take his own players out as the opposition.  So keep going I say.  But a special request.  Try and take out Maynard!

Jeepers, tough run for Trac. Let’s all hope this is his last trip to a hospital for a long time.

Looks pretty happy with things to me - almost 'Smile File' worthy!

Although, possibly won't be taking Melky's place in the box, this week at least...

The hardest part no doubt for Trac would be that he has been unable to sculpt his magnificent adonis body.

Far better news than originally widely speculated - he has retained his spleen, or most of it, which is great immunologically.  He has also avoided abdominal surgery which means he will be able to get back to the 'body building' aspects of training pretty soon, and running gradually.  Presumably he will be told to avoid contact for a few months but he would be expected to be fully fit by preseason.

PS uncomplicated appendicitis treated by keyhole surgery shouldn't be a real setback.  On the bright side it at least didn't happen in season.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
