Can someone confirm whether she said:

"She hadn't talked to Trac's family"

or

"She hadn't spoken to Trac"

Big difference.....

To me it sounded like she hadn't spoken to either be it in the aftermath of the injury or since. 

For most of us expressing dismay it is the lack of care and support in in the aftermath of the injury ie the ICU time, that is most concerning.

Roffey literally said she has barely spoken to Trac or his family since his injury because they havnt been at the footy.

Really ?? How many club presidents could you name if put on the spot? In the last few months Wright  has left Collingwood after taking a sabbatical directly after the GF..one reason..Kelly.. there has been serious racial allegations against Kelly ..where has that disappeared too. Noble has asked for a trade (not expected by the Pies & a couple of their depth/young players are exploring their options. Now admittedly it’s not a Trac but we have 1 disgruntled player who unfortunately is a superstar & all of a sudden we’re a basket case. Oliver was last year & preseason ..have nothing but respect for how he’s handled  himself this season.  Maybe read the latest “bombshell “ where allegedly some Melb players were discussing Trac & called him weird and wondered how another club would deal with his “weirdness “. Get your next post ready to heap blame on the club again ..

And while everyone is looking at another player of ours being incessantly attacked by the Media, the same group are, behind the scenes  making sure that our equal best player, who they well know to be easy to deceive, is conned into thinking that he  hasn't been looked after. There is so much more to this that has to come out. I would include Taylor in this along with the muppets and don't ever forget Moore.

Please explain

It's all very well calling for the heads of everyone (and don't get me wrong... I agree), but who is going to step up? Who has the profile, personality and skills to take on those roles.

Judging by the feedback in other discussions, Demonland members already have issues with Peter Lawrence and what has happened. So who's next ? Who's willing to put their hand up? 

Like any other organization, nominate candidates and let the members vote and not one where the club is telling you who they want on the board.

There are plenty of great operators who are members of the MFC. They don't have to be ex-footballers to be on the board (Brad Green ffs).

It’s not her job to speak directly to trac. There’s a football department and there are well being specialists, career specialists, psychologists, etc. It’s also possible they’ve decided that it’s best not to overwhelm the guy too. If the whole club decide to call him at once that’s probably not great either.

You reckon our football department hasn’t already done a lot of that planning throughout the season and continue to do so? Many people are turning up to work and doing their job at the club still despite the media also doing theirs.

Yeah not her job.....

Let's suppose the great Jimma was still in charge....    reckon he might have gone and had a look in .. you think ??

I liked the Roffey interview.

There, I said it.

A football club is huge. Talking to trac is one thing. Talking to his family is another. Who the [censored] talks to an employees family? Maybe she’s happy to let people do their jobs. Hire good people, let them do their job. Simple stuff.

Told he has cancelled and been replaced with Oliver and May.

That is on my train line and I might see if I can go. Think of awkward questions I can ask.

I do get that... but give  what transpired and where we now all find ourselves it might have be prudent( at least ) and empathetic (better) to have gone the extra mile here.

Not every day a player suffers that kind of injury.

Tells me all i need to know about this administration.

Paywall so can’t read the article but what is the context behind him saying ‘odds of playing next year are better than they were a week ago?’… I was under the impression the exact opposite was the case?

Re Roffey:

As I've said I've met her twice and was impressed with her down-to-earth vibe on both occasions. 

But people are missing the point here. The reason she was asked whether she has spoken to Tracy's parents was because she was suggesting she speaks to player parents all the time and how much they love the club. So after making a point of how a player's parents fully trusted the club she responded to the question about Tracy's parents that she hasn't spoken to them for some time and then that she usually only speaks to parents on game day. 

So she had not in fact made an effort to contact them.

I mean this isn't an every day event, the dude almost died. Surely even organising an Uber or something for the family?
