  • 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

    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?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
