The reality with Trac, he is a ‘brand’ and his fiancé is his marketing brand manager. They need to maximise every opportunity possible. The MFC put brand CP5 into jeopardy. The magnitude of the situation is still not known. I really hope all parties can get him going again and event get his buttery fingers working (🎣)

I hope he comes out and says something. The messaging “he is contracted for 5 year he’s not going anywhere” sounds really [censored] from the club.

There must be a fair bit of junk happening at the club, I just hope that it can all be cleaned up. I don’t want to go back to the dark old days😔

This self interest protection aligns to the rumour I’ve also heard. It doesn’t paint Trac in a good light. It says more about where his interests lie as opposed to something the club is doing wrong.

    Well those cool calm word from the skipper have allayed all my fears 👀

    Yeah that was not a polished performance. Gawn is usually quite straight down the bat, but his whole demeanor wasn’t great. 
    He seems annoyed. Maybe he is just annoyed at having to deal with more fires.

    Gawn left to deal with all the [censored] once again.

    Max has looked grumpy and frustrated most of the season. Not the laconic ebullient positivity of past seasons

    He’d be terrible at poker because you could see right through that.

    I’m in strong dialogue with Trac and I’m in preliminary discussions… oh dear - corporate speak.

     

    Angus brayshaw was the cultural glue, let’s not underestimate that.

    Wasn’t too bad. Max saying “we’re all relatively unhappy at this point” seemed to me to be an effort to show camaraderie with Trac. And why shouldn’t there be camaraderie? After all it’s entirely possible (I say, likely) that Trac’s issues with the club are shared by several other players

    It’s giving “I worked on this group assignment alone and you all enjoyed the grades” vibes. 
     

    I am sure Max is fed up with having to carry the team and then defend it in the media. 

    Edit: I understand it’s totally up to Gus and how he’s feeling physically and mentally, but I would move heaven and earth to get him back to the club in an off field role.

    That wasn’t the most convincing interview Max has ever done. Going to be a bloody long offseason.

    Was going to point out to that poster that Oliver did not attend the Anglesea camp. 

    But your approach was far more effective.

    Agreed but given that's the case why not such down this thread? The club has made a categoric statement. What more do you need? Topic over just like pre game each week.

    I swear that if I hear a singular peep from this club between December 2024 and March 2025, I will burn the joint down. 
    Go train in an underground bunker in Siberia. Make silence your friend. 

    What an exhausting 12 months it’s been

    I’ve had enough of 2024 and the constant negativity with player unrest or issues.

    Would be great to hear some positive news from the club over the offseason that can generate some excitement heading into next season.

    I mean, it’s a little unrealistic to expect people on this forum to remain quiet while it’s on several TV programs and the members have just received an email from the club.  

    Sure, it’s mostly hearsay. But as long as it refrains from baseless disparaging of individuals, it’s otherwise completely expected. 

    Gossip is an important part of a healthy society, don’t you know.

    I can't simply silence every discussion that makes people uncomfortable.

    Earlier this year, we had to shut down discussions about Clarry, Joel, and the board issues for legal reasons. Those topics deserved attention, but some individuals either couldn't or wouldn't follow the rules, forcing us to close all discussion.

    I don't want to take that route here for now but will monitor the situation.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
