I guess that works, except it doesn’t explain why Tracc didn’t quash all the bulltish reports and why nobody from the club challenged incorrect reporting for almost the entire time the most intense focus has been on us for years?
 

If it was all just made up, there’s no reason to have handled things by either party, the way they have been handled.

That doesn’t make sense.

BoBo it is the true art of negotiation, always, I repeat always find the best Win Win outcome for both parties, neither party blinked. Well done MFC and Christian Petracca.

 

Bloody great news. Now to work on supporting Kozzy and getting him to stay in the red and blue.

Unless he says so, who knows,  we can speculate, but it's not true until he says it is.

I can tell you he tested the market

At least I have an IQ. 

Can I ask you why you believe Trac was silent for 19 days while the MFC was trashed and roasted in the media for that entire time when the whole story could have been put to bed straight away?

Weird how you can go from despair to bullish in a few moments

Yes DeeZee felt the exact same way.


At this stage I’d like to eccentuate the positives and say how good will Windsor be after another pre season.

completely off topic but bouyed with the news and feeling best I’ve felt in  a while after the brilliantly good news about Trac.

God knows we needed some good news as we’ve suffered heaps lately and I know you’re all feeling it.

It hasn’t been fun, and to feel some joy for once is much needed.

Of this I have no doubt. If Collingwood or Carlton had access to early picks I do not believe Christian would be a Demon next season.

Now the hard work begins to get Trac the support he needs to rehab and get back to playing at his best. The club also needs to get to work and be a better run club top to bottom.

It's totally his prerogative.  Not his responsibility for the media going into a frenzy an the proletariat believing. Could be a myriad of valid reasons why he remained silent. Unlike others on these boards I don't pretend to have 'sources'.

There’s more than one way to build “Brand Petracca”…

Gawn's very well-spoken words yesterday on radio,

Can you post this please? Or have I missed it somewhere in this forum.

well now that carlton and the filth have failed to snare the trade of the century, does that mean the media will now demand the heads of the carlton and filth's  ceo and president? they couldn't even drag it to trade week.

I’m sorry , but Tom Morris needs to be relieved from his duties for a second time.

I personally, would not like to relieve Tom Morris

Is he actually wrong 

Definitely not from what i'm hearing.

He hasn't done himself any favours within the club and for members. Still.... as mentioned by others, other players have remained at their clubs in this situation and worked it out.

Hey I’m wrapped he’s staying! I just see a gaping hole in the logic that this whole thing was a media beat up considering we’ve been battered from post to post for the last few weeks, when seemingly if it was a media beat up, we just allowed spurious and unfounded allegations to go unchallenged? Didn’t quash them weeks ago?
 

That makes absolutely zero sense.

I wonder what we agreed to do to get Trac to send that message

I really hope we haven't told him that if he plays for us next year we'll allow him to walk out on his contract next year and give us and other clubs longer to prepare a deal with better picks.

Thank god it’s 7 months until our first game

All will be forgiven pretty much by then

Time to focus on trade period now.

Go out and get Peatling, heard an interview before. Non committal, I want him, get him.

Carlton have this year first and next which they could have offered. 

I'm guessing it was more salary cap related?

The length some people will go to to get out of going to Ringwood. Am I right? I'll see myself out. Apologies to anyone from Ringwood. Never been there. Probably a lovely place.

You confessed to being elitist on the podcast. You don’t have to put it in writing 🤣

Does this mean Trac will be doing the Ringwood RSL talk?

Does this mean I can't bring to Ringwood tomorrow, my No.5 Navy Blue guernsey (for a Tracc autograph) I bought at the Carlton Fan Shop at Princes Park this morning? 😁

Great news for MFC, now they need to push really hard for a key position forward, say Max King, I don't think he is a happy chappy under Ross at Linton Street and could really flourish in a new environment.

This whole episode has shown there are some real issues at the Dees, they need to be tackled otherwise quality potential transfer signings will give the Dees a wide berth.

Time to start looking for a new CEO and President, they haven't exactly covered themselves in glory over the last year or so ...

The amusing part was Oliver and May being approved as his replacements due to being much less controversial figures.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
