I'm usually not one for banging my own drum when I correctly predict an event.

But I'm going to make an exception in this case.

As I predicted, some noise then kick the redemption narrative into gear.

Joe strummer- one of the absolute best 

 

I never doubted you Tracc! 39 touch Norm Smith Medalist and Premiership hero. Hopefully the club can make the changes.

5 year contracts are a real sobering thing…

 

In all seriousness - some on here will not like it - but we have to have a talk about the captaincy for 2025.

I am not saying there isn’t work to be done but I have been saying for 3 years now that CP5 is the next captain. I want to hold to it.

You need to be a leader who others will respect to be captain.

You’re welcome to DM me but Demonland has asked time and time again not to name certain people in public. 

I have nothing to apologize for. He is a great player and I’m glad he’s staying. Just because I don’t like how he’s gone about it doesn’t mean I don’t want him sticking around and helping us get better and back into contention. 

You just responsed to me yet again! Aren't I a DH that has only been here 5 months that you can't be bothered wasting time on? Make up your mind pal. You want me to DM you. Really? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.You have no sources and you run to hide behind the Demonland rules to so as not to be exposed. 

Relieved that he signed but just to play devil's advocate; the letter commits to the Dees for 2025. Does not mention the 5 years at all. The club better get it's [censored] in order otherwise the Carlton's and Collingwood will be more prepared and bring more to the table next year.


This is undoubtedly good news

It's news that gives a good vibe... we're all happy happy.

We need to understand this is a case of square pegs/ round holes making the best of an awkward situation.  Do I dare say Trac's been cooking...reached into the pantry and realised he's a little short of recipe requirements !! 

This IS good news....for now. 

Let's get on with things. Let's play footy.

Is this over ?? I doubt it. It's over for now.

Yay

Go Dees

He is not captaincy material. Jake Lever will be the next skipper. We need a dad figure

Agree. But Pies first-rounder could be not much better than 18 - 20, and even with two years of future firsts hard to see how that gets done.

But the other variables are:

- Trac getting back to his very best after the injury from hell. Not so sure.

- He'll be going on 30 at the end of next season. Not the kind of age where you can build a team around him for 5 years. When Judd moved to Carlton he'd just turned 25.

- That contract. Long and expensive for someone getting into the later stage of his career.

Yeah - just like that useless Sidebottom and Dangerfield. Fancy building a team around them to push towards a flag.

Would've preferred he left after crying like a baby in public for 2 weeks and dragging our club through the mud to appease his own agenda.

I have absolutely no doubt he's been advised he can't get to C & C so he has to stay with us.

 

If the Pies had 2 top 10 picks to give us,he'd be there in a Heartbeat!!!

You clearly have no idea about club, internal mateship and culture.

Maybe he is that tho. 

I think most of the arguments people will come at me with are also arguments against retaining him.

Perhaps. 

Whatever the case, I think Max has run his race.

In all seriousness, you can't be serious?

As for a trade not being able to get done. I don’t think that was the case.

Jeremy Cameron went to Geelong for picks 15, 18 & 25.

Dangerfield went to Geelong for picks 9, 28 & Dean Gore.

If Trac still wanted to be traded I think a deal would of gotten done, we wouldn’t of liked it but it would of got done.


Anyone besides me wondering if some in the media will now turn on Trac? And keep beating us up.

OOC vs 5 years left on contract 

What’s that clicking and clacking echoing through the high-rises on Collins Street tonight?

Oh, nothing to worry about . . .

Just the lawyers orchestrating their symphony of billable hours.

Good outcome. Perhaps the kind of outcome a well run club would get in trying to navigate its way out of an extraordinary and tricky circumstance. 

Shows the media types up for the fools they are .

I honestly would have had no qualms with Trac if he left with how the club handled his injuries, but stoked he is sticking around.  

Solid trolling mate. Joined 2 hours ago and trying to get people wound up again subtly. 

well played

As someone from Canberra-proper, yes I am serious. 

I will admit that this urge is more anti-Gawn than pro-CP5 but if he puts the work in he has to be considered, otherwise he isn’t worth keeping around.

Losing Kozzie would hurt more than Trac

Time to move on...... I know it's quick and you need to process but he helped win us a Flag and he may of just forced the club to make some overdue changes. I also know many on here, including myself, took a few swipes at him but footy remains a game where supporters expect their players to remain steadfastly loyal. That is unless a trade suits us, which this one didn't. Either way I'm back on the Tracc wagon for now, I think you should jump aboard

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
