Good to see Trac there and smiling.

People still holding serious grudges over him speak more volume on the individual itself.

As @Jaded No More said, we need to be united as a club and hopefully we see a domino effect with the first step being Roffey leaving.

I think that’s unfair on fans. The club (well at least amongst fans) was largely harmonious until all of this mess unfolded.

If (and it is a big if) this talk about Brand Petracca, bigger crowds etc has any truth to it, then it’s a big slap to the face of the fans in particular. His statement didn’t exactly endear himself to fans either, who are understandably bruised over all of this. 
 

I’m sure time will heal all wounds etc

Awesome optix by Team Trac, brand currently being resurrected

Will the Bloos add another chip into the trade pot come trade period now?

[Tracca 781]

The only noise about brand Petracca was from the media. Trac said in his statement it was about change within the club that he was unhappy about. Let’s see how this plays out. The president is already gone, and I dare say there is a few more that will be gone too.

 

dont hang trac out to dry because we were too impatient to hear from him

They just mentioned on mmm trac and goody caught up in a sth Melbourne Cafe & seemed to be positive.

Maybe catch up at each other's places in private instead of the public

Why? There is nothing wrong with meeting in a Cafe. 
who cares what the Gutter scrapers want to write

I have every right to be p****d off with Christian Petracca. I don’t like him, I’ve never liked him and I have perfectly valid reasons for not liking him. This isn’t a reflection of me; other DA members dislike him for the same reasons. Him putting himself before the club just cements it.

 I’m not gonna praise him for attending a match, and I think it’s sad that the focus of today’s match was his presence. He attended a W match. So [censored] what?! It’s gonna take some of us way more than one act of tokenism to regard him in a different way.

This is my opinion and I’m entitled to it just like everyone else is.

 

edit: the first of the regulars has already FacePalmed my comment. Thought I’d get a vomit emoji but I’m sure that’ll come.

Pull your head Trac. Stay away from social media. You have a lot to prove, do it in other ways!

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!  Guess social media is Trac's hammer?

[Little Goffy 13,937]

I'll reserve passing an opinion on Trac's little media moment because what it means changes completely depending upon whether it is part of a fresh pattern of engagement or if it is a one-off.

Basically, same as when a young forward kicks three and takes a couple of good marks. Good to see, hope to see more, not reaching any conclusions just yet.

You don't like him but yet this was you sucking up to him only a few weeks ago at training telling him how much you all love him 😅 😅

Tracs little media moment?

You do realise he didn't put anything on social media mate. The clubs instagram account and Tayla Harris were the ones getting the photos of him and then shared it to their own accounts.

He shared it because they tagged him in it.

but he hasnt put himself before the club at all?

 

he voiced dissapointment with the clubs direction, of which a president has already stood down because of it, with more to come. id say its a good thing

[Sir Why You Little 36,569]

Unbelievable 

Tracc is sitting with teammates at a game and he is getting piled on….🤦

Your obsession with @WalkingCivilWar and her positivity is just plain obsessive. What is it you want Dazzle? The ‘Happy Clapper’? Or an opinion? 
 

Give it a rest.

 Which part of her trac hating post was positive?

I don't want or need anything thanks. I just laugh how you can admit that you hate a player only to tell that same someone only a few weeks back how much you love him at the same time. It is a true definition of being socially fake to someone.

The guy demanded high standards and professionalism from the club and yet he's the one getting piled on.

Bizarre

Amazing.

You are an angry little ant and need to build a bridge Dazzle. Whilst I respect some of your posts, you let yourself down with the personal and consistent attacks on some and in general hard line view. 
 

Time to get work and get out of that office (or off your phone) and engage the young people.

You're literally the last person I want to be taking life advice from.

Cheers. 

[BDA 22,231]

No point in rehashing the same arguments. There is blame on both sides here.

Trac has recommitted and there doesn't appear to be any hard feelings with the playing group or goody. Thats the most important thing. Hopefully he can back to best after his awful injury and put this whole episode behind him.

 

 

[Tracca 781]

Whilst it was frustrating and scary for 3 weeks there, internally trac and the coaching group were not worried and what he had literally publically said is demanded professionalism on and off the field. Any die hard fan that has been upset because they have listened to the media vitriol around holding the club to ransom which is total bs, needs to take a deep breath

Yes I was straight-up lying, lying through my teeth. Why? Because I love my team so much that I put aside my feelings about him and praised him even though it was unpalatable. To see the other boys so happy and so united because of him (finally) explaining himself to them… at that point in time I would’ve said anything to encourage it.
