Oh I don’t think he’s going anywhere - but there’s a bit of supporter backlash on him and his management for starting this chapter

Silence still from Tracc.  Then no sight of him at the game today.  Is Tracc still in some sort of quarantine due to reduced immune system?  I can lend him $$$ for an N95 face mask!

This may well be true. But if I'd started a media [censored]-storm I would be doing my best to be discreet. Meeting with opposition players is not an act of good faith and I think it would reflect very badly on him. I hate to think what other players are thinking.

I think him meeting Neale is a good thing actually. 
Neale was in a similar situation and was forced to stay by Brisbane. Went on to win a Brownlow and play off in a grand final. 
It’s not as if he met him because he’s going to ask to be traded to Brisbane!

Hope Lachie gave him some sage advice on building a bridge.

Trac and his "people" probably pre warned the media of his upcoming coffee catch up.

It was great to watch 23 blokes respect our club today. Why wasn't Christian on the Gold Coast?

I think long term, not short term.

I can't see the value in us handing better draft picks to the Suns, Pies and Dons. (And worsening our own picks.)

I think we should blood : Jefferson, Adams, Verrall, Farris-White.

Give Woey and other kids more game time.

Rest ANB - he's not our future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've always valued the logic of improving your draft hand over winning meaningless end of season games.

If you're ruthlessly serious about the long term goal of winning another flag, why shoot yourself in the foot?

This is an insane post and symptomatic of a particular section of our fanbase that is legitimately living in an alternate reality.

 

Trac was our best player in the 2021 finals, not only was he literally BOG in the GF but he also was at worst our 2nd player in the prelim win over the Cats. He then played a finals series with a broken leg in 2022. You're telling me Trac isn't the one who is connected to the club? The guy who was crying after we beat the Cats in 2021? Meanwhile your 'hero' Oliver wanted a trade end of 2020 because he cracked the [censored] at not placing higher in the B&F, then proceeded to completely go off the rails last year and put a massive spotlight on the club (I'm not even mentioning his terrible form this year).

 

I'd be shattered if Trac left but I can't blame him for being upset - not only over the handling of his injury, but the complete lack of standards in player selection, teammates taking the [censored] off the field etc. The sooner our fanbase wakes up to how much of a hole the club is in (Due to our own doing) the better.

THIS …,MELB 117 ..Suns 53  👍🏻😉

I find it hilarious how people are so quick to say that Trac needs to grow up but when people say the same thing about Oliver they get completely shot down.

This site can be very selective of who you can and can't criticise.

I think it would be because Clarry hasn't leaked to the media and also the tone of the criticism of Clarry has, at times, been pretty low-brow.

Again I haven’t read the whole thread but is there any chance that Oliver and what happened with him is one of the things that Petracca is frustrated at?

It was reported Petracca was spotted talking with Lachie Neale.

Christian Petracca spotted meeting Brisbane Lions captain Lachie Neale

He may be seeking the voice of someone who went through a similar experience, both requesting his trade from Freo then requesting one from Brisbane, but ultimately sticking with the latter.

Interesting reading this 2021 article about Neale's situation and his difficulty dealing with its public nature.

Real reason Lachie Neale backflipped on AFL trade request

 

That article explicitly says that Trac wasn’t meeting Neale to talk about leaving:

They talk about mindfulness and AFL360 gigs. 

That article and Tweet are the absolute worst of AFL media.

Possibly. But Trac should know that peak Clarry makes his chances of success far greater. 
I hope he sees the effort that Clarry has been putting in this year and cuts him some slack. 
Now would be a good time for them to lean on one another and attack the pre season head on.

If Trac does stay, he’d want to have a stellar season in 2025. 

If he and claryy get back to their best we will be top 4 again, they have to know that...

OK? I'm happy we won too. Not sure to the relevance of the scoreline to my post.

C'mon guys, it's clear that Christian caught up with Lachie Neale so they can compare their recent hauls from Cash Converters.

Your first post, and you suggest we don't prioritise beating the pies?

And you choose to post under the name of an untouchable legend of the MFC.

I'm not being facetious, or funny here, but your post is an insult to the memory of Norm Smith, both for suggesting we tank and that we not play the sort of true heart and soul warrior that the red fox built a dynasty around.

The media are grubs, agreed but that wasn't the point of the post. 

Was more wanting to share/discuss the parallels of their stories.

I like Trac's proactive approach. Unhappy with our direction so he goes out and recruits Lauchie Neale. Should make for a decent ANB replacement.

I hope we smash the Pies. To win 12 games in a season where everything that could go wrong did go wrong would be a huge result.

The media narrative about our footy club would also be shot too! Can’t wait!

I heard it was a guy with track-marks spotted in the MCG bathroom with a Collingwood scarf on, which was covered in pie sauce.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
