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.

    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?

    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”…

    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.

    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.

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

    I'm guessing it was more salary cap related?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
