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.

I agree that some people have been overly critical of Oliver but I also think that the animosity towards Trac has been over the top.

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

 Shilling for pawn brokers sure enhances one’s character.

Fair point but if your mates in trouble you don't bail.. you help.

My thoughts exactly.

But I didn't get the impression that Petracca was very involved in the whole Clarry saga. I could be wrong but that's how I felt last year.

Btw, I wonder what Petracca thinks after watching his mate Lachie and his team bottling the game against a side that was effectively out of contention.

Fagan and Hinkley could be playing their last season with their respective teams.

I hope Trac reads the statement made by his teammates today. Starting to look like he’s more the problem than our culture. 

[Demon Time 31]

I can understand Trac's frustrations with the club but his continued silence is honestly so disappointing (especially after a good team performance today). I saw him as a lock for future captain of our club but these are not good signs even if he does decide to stay. In saying that, I'm sure my mind will probably change once and if this all gets cleared up

Agree on this.  [censored] poor not travelling with the team.

Did May travel with the team? I didn't see him, though may have missed him.

His partner is pregnant I think.

His missus expecting a  baby soon I believe.

[Demonsone 2,014]

What is the reason why Trac didn’t travel with the team, I thought maybe due to his spleen and unsafe to travel?

He did not. I believe his partner is due to give birth any day. 
He did however post three very positive things on his social media.

He just spent a month in Noosa.

The playing group have a big say in captain selection and leadership group. 

This will say a lot about the impact of his actions on the playing group. 

[FreedFromDesire 758]

In regards to players not there. As far as I've seen it was only May and Petracca unaccounted for.

May's partner is not too far off birth I believe, and he looks to have posted some instagram posts from home while watching the game.

Christian was at a local footy game early today where he has friends involved, but I've not seen anything from him in regards to today's AFL game or result. Not going to read too much into it as I don't follow players personal lives on social media so I have no idea if he's generally someone that posts often anyway.

I might be going against my 'not reading much into it' line, but it does feel like if he had chosen to at least share something positive about the result today it would have helped supporter sentiment at least.

Again, not something I'm overly familiar with though.

Spargo on crutches.

Oliver after surgery.

 

This seems quite timely and very targeted. 

I was at the game today and also saw Windsor there in a moon boot. Looks like most of the list was there including an injured Spargs and post surgery Clarry. Where the [censored] was Trac? Speaks volumes. Will be surprised if he’s a Demon next season.

Seemed fine traveling to and from Noosa a couple of weeks ago. 

[Deeminion 390]

May cracked some ribs a couple of weeks ago. I can understand why he wasn’t able to fly.

Were B Brown and Hunter there in the rooms too? I didn’t see them in the song clip but that might just be me.

Benny Brown played in the 2s pregame and kicked 6. He would have been there as all the other Casey boys who played in the pregame were in the clip. 

[Bigfoot 296]

I’ve gotta agree with the consensus that Trac not traveling with the team in what seems to have been a team bonding exercise and to show the camaraderie of the group speaks volumes. Very disappointing and very depressing. I hope fences can be mended and that change will come from this.

Is that just players or support staff too. Casey got flogged, so interesting if it was only the playing group involved

Think it was just players in the circle, but included Clarrie, Charlie and Caleb who are all injured ATM. I think the only three players not there were Maysie, Tracc and Joel Smith.

[raDeelaide 248]

This is so depressing. How the [censored] am I going to explain it to my 5 year old if Trac leaves. He will be shattered and his old man won’t be far behind. 

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,284]

All fine for him to be unhappy about certain things, but pretty [censored] poor to not get behind the boys after today.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Expected at least a social media ‘like’ or re-post of the great win. 
Wonder how his management will spin this. Can’t be good for the brand.

We made a statement today and so did someone else by not making a statement. He’s looking more gone by the day.
