Investing one of the rumoured reasons is a lack of training facilities, I find it amazing we don’t loose more players for that reason. We still have 0 movement on that front as well just goes in the to hard basket

He and the other players had a chance to help make us a big club by winning another damn premiership instead of two straight sets and now no finals.

Does he think we don’t want to be a big club too? We have one good year and we couldn’t attended and then we dish up that [censored] for the next 3 years.

Of course people are going to jump off quick right now, everyone’s [censored] 
We didn’t win a flag for 57 years, we missed a couple of generations getting on the demons bandwagons because we weren’t winning flags it’s that simple. 

Was the crying when speaking about the club all for show?

Hang on, is Trac not treated more favorably than others because he’s Trac?

This is life, in every organization you have more and less favorable people who get treated differently because of what they bring to the table. 
Of course a star player is going to get more leniency on poor behavior than some D grader. Just as if Trac was a nobody who trashed our club publicly the club would treat him with a hell of a lot less public restrain than they have so far. 

Fine. [censored] Trac. Loser.

Egg on their faces??? They’re saying that as it stands he’s not leaving, and this is the truth, AS IT STANDS. Look up the meaning of this if you don’t understand.

Also… “creditably [sic] of the club will be in question and our history of poorly managing of a once in a generational [sic] player which the club has built itself around.” WTF does this even mean??? Our history of poorly managing him???? What history????

Again, also… Tracc is the architect of his own fortunes. I’m sorry but you’ll have to find another reason to stick the boots into ‘Goodwin, Richo & Pert.’ But I’m sure you’ll find something, albeit yet another uninformed opinion.

Sorry to say WCW he is GONSKI I heard this from an Ultra reliable source! Time we all move on eh!???

Trac isn't upset that Clarry got picked over someone like Bailey Laurie. It's all a convenient excuse to get to a big club.

Man there is a lot of hate and shade thrown towards Trac. 
 

I for one hope he stays, he is a fantastic player and we need him. This could be the making or breaking of the bonds that had been forged the years prior. A 100% honesty session should have occurred by now and let he dice lay as they land.

Adding further to that.

While Petracca does want out, Edmund says that the Demon understands a trade could be unrealistic given his huge trade value and the fact that he’s contracted until the end of the 2029 season.

Even though the 28-year-old may remain a Demon, Edmund says that a number of his teammates are unhappy with him and that relationships have been strained between player and club across the board.

“But he knows it's very difficult, and he knows he signed that seven-year contract a couple of years ago through to 2029. So, at the same time, he's realistic to where he sits,” Edmund said.

“More than a couple of those teammates are unhappy with him at the moment. They didn't like the trip to Noosa in particular, they were vocal about that and there’s been relationships strained across the board.”

How do you realistically come back from this? He is forcing the clubs hand. I think we hang him out to dry. He can goto Richmond. We can take Pick 1, F1 off their hands and Lynch (-500K). They get their replacement for Dusty. 

They have good facilities, not near Casey, Melbourne based, big following.

That’s not at all what I said. He’s not a loser he’s a bloody good player, which is precisely why we are not going to trade him for a packet of chips because he’s having a hissy fit and wants to go play for a big club. 

Just as we weren’t going to throw Clarry out for peanuts when he was melting down.

Agree, no trade

OR send him to Richmond or St Kilda...

Today I’ve informed Demonland of my desire to be traded to Bomber Blitz. I’d like the opportunity to have my irrational meltdowns in front of a bigger crowd.

Thanks for your understanding.

I agree. I have sympathy if this is about his injury and the trauma associated with it. But if this is just about playing to bigger crowds and cracking the sads because we put our arms around a troubled player then he can get lost. I'd much rather an in form Clarry, vines and Rivers in the midfield. If we managed to get a proper forward who could ruck then I wouldn't mind so much. This should never have gone on this long and if tracc's management had any sensibility they would have handled this way better. This makes the club look so bad and it's just not right.

You basically just named McKay but with his kicking that’s a dead end we will have a 60 goal fwd and never make finals

He’s coming off like a bloke who’s never faced any kind of adversity ever & he’s not handling it well.  
 

And whoever is advising him may not be giving him the best advice.
 

it’s a bad look to not make a statement to the supporters yet he’s able to keep churning out his sponsored social posts. Says something about the priorities.

(And yes I know the posts scheduled & committed to in advance but those schedules are easily changed)

The more I read about what he's allegedly said the more he comes across as bit of a tøsser to be honest. Wants to leave because we don't pull in the crowds? Tell Toby Greene that.

Dees need to say.  

We aren’t trading you.  That’s it.  

Plenty of examples of this and club- player bond being repaired.  
 

 

This is also true. Neale, Papley are just two that come to mind.

The desire to play in front of large crowds dates back to long before his current injury.

IMHO… He’s a diva. 

He’s definitely gone then!!

I’d take just the picks, I think lynch is looking for one last bonus to whoever would bite

    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
