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.

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 

We have state of the art facilities at Casey and at AAMI park.

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!!

[manny100 1,383]

He is only gone if we get a fair deal.

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. 

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

The Age is talking McKay. We 

would also want their 1st round.

[Gawndy the Great 9,008]

Maybe Houston doesn't want to come because we went on record saying we wont trade Trac... just a thought.

I think those two are a bit different. Both were potential trades to different states due to considering being closer to family. They didn't hate their current clubs. Christian doesn't want to move states, he just wants out as he's mad at the club and wants to be at a bigger one (if you believe the reports so far).

He should go to a third world country for perspective...

The rumours are that the leadership group didn’t approach him during his time off. The coaches and management should have seen this coming and prevented an escalation 

Even if those 'rumours' are true, and the management didn't spot that, it is hardly egregious incompetence or unprofessionalism.

why tf would MFC want a forward, we have plenty of them, with JVR looking good for the future.

we need AAA midfielders, especially if one is leaving in this scenario

Really… the majority of the supporter base think otherwise

It’s a job for the players. Who wants to stay at a toxic workplace where certain employees are held less accountable and treated more favourably than others. Unless you know all of the details, how about taking it a little easier on Trac. 

Pretty much all workplaces are toxic @Ethan Tremblay. The data is unambiguous on this. He won't find Carltank any less toxic - just the hue of the toxicity will be different.

Hello... Pick 5 and Pick 10?

[DeeZee 7,296]

Funny coz during the practice match against Carlton in the preseason a group of Carlton kids and their Italian parents were getting Tracs autograph, and he said something like, I should be playing for Carlton with so many Italian supporters!

Off the cuff remark, but absolutely gospel truth.

I'm staggered that you would base your view of the total incompetence of the club on a single rumour.  Even if true, it is hardly the sin of all time.  Get a grip.

[chook fowler 19,248]

Hard to see him staying now. Too much water under the bridge. I just hope we play hard ball for what we get in return for him.

It wouldn't be hard to choose between permanent inner-city (or close to it) facilities or regular trips to Cranbourne but it's not like he thought we were leaving Casey when he signed the contract so it would be an interesting excuse if true.

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 

Maybe I should have said a ruck who can forward. TDK. 

But for the record I don't think either are going to want to be traded.
