That's the way I looked at it.

Clearly there's no one out there could satisfy a deal so he's had no other choice but to stay.

Regardless, it's great news. We've got 12 months to sort out [censored] out big time.

Yep. Petty was out the door too and chose to stay. Totally different circumstances I know, but a year is a very long time in football. 
Success will fix a lot.

It's wonderful news, but the MFC can't stuff this up, this doesn't take anything away from him wanting out and the corrections that need to be made on and off the field, over to you MFC, lets see if we can respond.

Sounds like a very “I’m resigned to being here but I’m not happy about it” sort of statement. 

Let us hope this club makes the necessary changes so that not only Trac but the rest of the team is happy and successful going forward. 

What would you have liked him to say?

Take that all you revolting mud raking, rumour mongering idiotic journalists.  Now go bother some other club.

See to me, that reads as “there was [censored] broken at the club and it needed to be addresses and fixed, I’ve raised that, we are now working towards it and that eases my mind”

The fact Max even stated he had things he wasn’t happy with and agreed with Trac on some things means there was problems worth arguing about.

[sam6172 141]

I kept telling everyone that I didn't really care what he did, if he wants to go then go. Why then, did I just feel an incredible weight lift off my shoulders in reading the press release. 

Some good news finally. Hopefully all this drama opens a few eyes and the team has an offseason for the ages and come out swinging in 2025. Let's Freaking Go!!!

[DeeZone 9,494]

Well that is the statement that we have all been waiting for, welcome back Tracc.❤️💙💕

Folks on here wanted Christian to speak.  He has spoken.  He is staying. 

Time to get behind him  Time to drop the bickering.

It is my guess Max was a major architect of the bridge that was built between the club and Christian.  Max will make sure the player are all behind him.

I'm ecstatic !!!!

Onward and upward to 2025.

Well that was easy, time to shut down this ridiculous thread :)

thank goodness this won't drag on for another 7 weeks until trade period 2024 is over

aha

ahaha

ahahahahahaha

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[DubDee 25,402]

WE LOVE YOU TRAC!!

[dazzledavey36 54,004]

I still want changes higher up.

Pert and Roffey are still incompetent and I want them gone. I don't want this to be a band aid on a sliced leg. 

Get the changes sorted this off season and start completely fresh.

[Little Goffy 14,386]

Aw, man, 226 pages and that's it?

I would love to see him do a tiktok recipe where he takes a printed copy of this thread and lets it stew for a week.

 

[SFebes 4,884]

Just a bizarre situation. Obviously no other club could get close to satisfying Melbourne with a trade. So many questions though....

His brand?

Bigger club? So he rates other clubs better than ours?

Dragging the club through the media and not caring if it burnt down.

How does he teammates feel now?

Plus, you don't just repair all this so called drama in one Saturday afternoon.....

Always more to it. Must realise it cant be done, like I said, so many questions and personally, I won't look at him the same way again. Hopefully it's good for the club as a whole.

[Steamin Demon 392]

Never in doubt!! Love you TRAC!!!

Whatever ...

He kinda lost me. I'm sure that will be of great concern to him and MFC.

Perhaps the love will return?

 

 

I mean I'll probably never feel the same about him but all I need him to do is his best in the colours and nothing else really matters I guess. 

If anything this whole saga has strengthened my admiration for Gawn, Viney and his elk. The dudes who genuinely love the club we do and don't give a [censored] about social trends and mediocre cooking content t

I guess you hope he says I love this club and our fans and I’m committed to being part of making this club better. 

But beggars can’t be choosers. I still believe that if a trade was there to be done with Collingwood or Carlton he’d be out the door without a second thought. 
Luckily for us that isn’t possible for now, so let’s make the most of it and make both parties fall back in love with one another. 

[fr_ap 2,451]

Look I suppose it's good news...but honestly sounds like we held him captive in a room to write that statement haha. Compare to Vineys's....he needed something equally as passionate - probably more so given what has happened. Will do nothing to calm the media storm.

We now get this circus for another year, buying time for everyone to work out a trade and more pertinently see if he can actually return as the same player....hope for our sake he does!

The bottom line out of all this may well be that any medium or smaller club (not under-written by head-office) by definition has a bad culture. 

Correct.

Yet if you have massive racism issues like Pies or Hawks, no culture issues to speak of.

Mainstream footy media is [censored] weak.

[Whispering_Jack 29,621]

This can’t be so … at least not on an evening when we’re booked in for Greek cuisine. Has Tracc ever done a moussaka?

Not just the media. Throw in the absolute morons on here who will have to back track a million miles an hour now. 227 pages of absolute dross. He was never going anywhere.  Absolute champ.

[Steamin Demon 392]

How's Sam McCluess feeling? He's two from two. [censored].
