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

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?

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.

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.

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.
