In my OP i think there has been some pretty highbrow meetings taken place in the last week, between The AFL, the MFC and of course The Media Executives , not the S kickers. The result of which it seems to me that The S kickers have been told in no uncertain terms to Drop Off and make it a clean break.

Let's see.

I'm sorry, what?

    What like a moratorium on writing about us?

    So the brand thing and his earnings are a selfish motivation, but to be a professional athletes requires a certain selfishness and ruthlessness.  An ambition and determination to improve and win.  By contrast we can all name plenty of other players that were happy enough to turn up and go through the motions.  I've never got that sense from him in any game I've seen him play. 

    If it's true, the whole brand thing really reeks.  I'm not actually that convinced it was something that Christian nessacerilly put such a big emphasis on himself as opposed to the media types blowing it out of proportion.

    But if true, there are two sides to the coin (pardon the pun).  He signed up for massive money to a long term contract and that ought to have counted for alot more than it seemed to in the situation.  He's paid to be a footballer first and his own ' brand' is totally secondary.  Such a shocking look in a team sport.  This situation where free agency has diminished the value of contracts is total BS IMHO.

    I think there are plenty of others like Viney and Gawn who's professionalism is the equal of Trac, but whom didn't shop themselves around and didn't seem to air the club's dirty laundry so publicly when the chips have been down for us this season.

    Are you Hawk the Demon renamed?

    No, they're a long term poster who was previously known as AF and Binman's PA.  They just change their name occasionally but same account

    Maybe we should let Petracca play for us in a Collingwood jumper, then he could have the best of both worlds,  Could be handy on KBW as long as he doesn't get confused.

    Maybe it’s been posted in all the posts but footy classified showed an interview of Trac after he come home from hospital and said how Roffey & the club had reached out & supporting him…

    Well i've been right before. Roffey might have decided to hand over the mantle.

    Aint no draft picks Pies can use
    Cap is full and they can't breach
    Trade period's in the air
    Petracca's out of reach
    Gosch's paddock, Casey fields
    Trac goes home alone
    Driving past the Lexus Centre
    When will he call it home?

    I can see him standing in the Noosa sun
    Pasta on the boil, black and white apron on
    You can tell him the Magpie Army's love will still be strong
    After the 25 season is done.

    Well, at least he’s making an effort to be part of the club. Can’t begrudge him that.

    Exactly, if he was simply going to play out the year hoping for a better offer the following season he probably wouldn’t be bothered doing things like going to see the girls play.

    Hopefully he is fully invested.

    We need to unite and be stronger as a club.

    I hope that’s the reason, but the little devil sitting on my right shoulder is telling me that he’s there at the bidding of the club, to project the image of a harmonious club. The little angel on my left shoulder is telling me that he’s looking genuinely happy, enjoying a bit of a laugh with Lever and Max.

    Also, as the Dees just scored their first goal, the camera focused on an applauding Brad Green.

    We need to bury the hatchet and move on now, otherwise 2025 will amount to nothing.

    It's good Trac is there.

    Exactly right. If our players can make peace so should the fans. 

    The worst possible outcome is a fractured club. United we are much stronger.

    Just wondering if the President has spoken to Tracc or his family yet.

     I heard they are breaking bread and making a Thai Green Curry together. 
     

    Stay tuned.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
