Spare me Gerard. Gonna be a long summer if the self appointed moral guardian of the afl is going to list all our shortcomings day-in-day-out. 

Any word on cats players found on the floor of nightclubs or is that only something that happens at clubs with bad culture? 

Tracy’s management would be very happy with that little soliloquy.

gerard joined the click-club quite a while ago

Doesn't Gerard go for Geelong?

Also, a bit of a conflict of interest commenting on the status of a player who is a panelist on your show..

So, will he be continuing his Special Membersip into next year, me thinks not....especially if Trac goes and he's done his dirty work?

Eery parallels with the RDB departure, similar age, similar profile. Club had recently won a premiership. Looking to expand the brand.  Walked in to a club gathering one day (acc. to Red Fox) and didn't like the vibe.  Went to Carlton.

 Imagine if the situation were reversed and the MFC pressured a player on a long-term contract to leave the club on the basis that the club would prefer to contract player X from another club(perhaps on the basis that player X had a better profile and would attract more sponsors to the club). The football world would be justifiably outraged by such fickle behaviour. Contracts are obviously a two-way commitment. The player gets long-term job security and the club knows it has secured the services of a valuable player. I tend to agree with Garry Lyon that Christian should be told he will be held to his commitment for say another three years after which the position will be reviewed. In any event I hope that is what occurs.

 

That's exactly what happened when Treloar and Grundy were forced out of Collingwood

Of course the club is bemused because the real issue is that someone is in his ear every day telling him they can make more money through his brand if he goes to another club. The rest is just white noise.

Vague ramblings of someone who knows nothing, from the Media.

I'm not really concerned about whether people take it on or not, at the end of the day the vomit and laugh react crew are going to vomit and laugh react. It doesn't change what the situation is.

If anyone hasn't listened to that clip of The Ox on SEN WA. Stop everything and go do it now.

If he does play in opposition colours in 25, it will have a level of animosity between the players and particularly the fans not seen since Carey. At least it will be a big crowd for him

Sadly if our players couldn't even sneer at Brayden, in fact they high fived and hugged him, I doubt there would be any animosity towards Trac should he ever play against us.

Or, you know, you could use that burgeoning big boy intellect of yours and as I said, read what I've previously written and infer some meaning. 

But hey, herrrrr derrrrrr media vendetta, MFC perennial victims et al.

He spoke well on issues within the club and what needs to change but for me, he glossed over Christian also being an issue in this. The question was put to him on Christian’s potential selfishness and he gave a short answer and quickly brought it back to having a crack at the club. 

I’m not saying he’s incorrect re the club, I just think his opinion of Christian maybe a little too high.

We know now the extent of the trauma and psychological stress that Petracca has endured during, and post operation. We have heard his concern for various aspects of the MFC football program and administration. None of this seems to me to be an insurmountable obstacle with regards to his reconciliation with the club.  After reading and listening to the current media updates, I think it likely that the leaking of information is coming from those very close to Petracca. In at least one instance, that group includes individuals with some direct control over aspects of contractual opportunities available to him beyond his football: his 'Brand'. This latter component seems to be the tipping point for our star!

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
