  • Demonland changed the title to Tracc Wants Out?
 

It was flagged in here a few days back so there is no point at abusing Tom ambulance chaser Morris.

What a cluster # ck this " Club" is

    Great club 

    Said in another thread that there were some unhappy players at the club. Trac was one of them.

    Regardless of what some people on hete think that every single player is happy at our club and for the coach, well they arent, that's the reality. 

    Some are happy, some aren't. That's footy clubs for you.

    The club handled the Trac situation poorly and the family are still not on great terms with the club.

    From a players parent I bumped into a few weeks back.

    The report is that he’s unhappy with the club (but not Goodwin) and if he were out of contract would request a trade tomorrow. 

    If true, this is a “sack whoever it takes to appease him” situation. This club will fold if Trac leaves. It’s not just who he is on the field, it’s who he is off it. He’s connection to our supporter base, he’s marketable, he gives us relevance where we might not otherwise have it. He has, until King’s Birthday, been so incredibly passionate about this club. If changes can be made to make him feel more comfortable, then we make those changes. Stuff concerns about putting one player above the rest. Exceptions get made for people like Trac.

    Trac has always struck me as the type who has looked for an excuse to leave

    As much as I hate to hear this development, I can understand his concern. The Grundy experiment, the recruiting of 2nd rate players like Billings, McAdam etc, no reward for players going well at Casey. Might be the kick up the [censored] the board and coaching committee need to hear. 🤔☹️

    But I thought everyone was happy and loved the coach and club? Welcome to the reality of a football club. Would hate to lose him but understand the frustration. 

    Change is needed and must happen rapidly.

    About the most of it. There's always a mystery club. Straight swap for Nick Daicos or no deal.

    Apparently Max Gawn told him to ‘man the f up’ and get back out on the field when he was injured, and that Goody gave him a spray because he went down to the rooms instead of staying out on the ground at quarter time

    if he wants out, he wants out

    no point having a player who doesn't want to be there

    Well Morris did say he hasn’t got a problem with the coach… I’m not sure what he means by direction of the club. If it’s to do with finishing 13th I can confirm that 66k members are also unhappy with this

    That’s what happens when you get back to 17K crowds on Saturday night prime time

    Would get some great draft currency and setup up our rebuild. Not saying I would trade, but if unhappy- then so be it.

    Source?

    Even this report says he’s not upset at Goodwin per se.

    So potentially within the span of 12 months

    Brayshaw - retired

    Oliver - linked to Adelaide 

    Viney - linked to North

    Petracca - possibly requesting a trade

    What the bleep has happened to this football club?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
