Christian Petracca

[tiers 2,822]

Don't we all want the very best for Tracca? Let him go with our best wishes and hopes for a full recovery so that we get our beloved Tracca back in his best condition for 2025.

He can watch the votes on streaming video and the media will miss out on its frenzy.

GO TRACCA. GO DEES.

The media have stooped to new lows on this, and they're really [censored] me to tears.  How dare they take a positive story of him getting to the stage where he is able to train to full capacity, wants to go the extra mile to get himself mentally and physically in the best shape he can be for 2025 and speak positively on his role in the future direction of the club, and all those [censored] leeches want to go on about is how he's missing the Best and Fairest?  FFS, they're the absolute pits, the lowest form of humanity, the absolute scum that I dread to scrape off the bottom of the shower recess.  I truly hate them.  

Whateley this morning said the video from Trac "reminds me of one of those hostage videos".

He really is cllnging on to his alternate reality.

The real problem with the MFC's culture is that we have a multitude of 'supporters' who hate the club, hate the club leaders, hate the coach and hate the fact that we aren't the club depicted in the media narrative!

I agree that some supporters are absolutely needlessly negative about everything, but there are certain posters on here that just cannot handle any sort of criticism of the club valid or otherwise. Demonland is a wonderful forum with both extremes and both can be equally good at derailing an otherwise good discussion with baseless, emotional dribble.

Exactly why I've given sen and afl360 the flick.

Whateley's a pseudo mouthpiece. Lost me when he ran the party line on Maynard

They all are.  Last night that Morris scumbag posted a tweet along the lines of "Petracca will not be at the B&F".  And when several Melbourne supporters pulled him up on the video the club put out as to why, and stating he should be posting on the positive, he doubled down on his dickheadedness, putting in laughin emojis etc.  I truly hate him.

EXACTLY!  The perenially outraged media [censored] will find fault with anything we do as a club.  Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

I hate the fact that the first hour of Midday madness on SEN was dominated by this and 90% of the callers were Collingwood and Carlton supporters just saying he doesn’t want to be at Melbourne. Nothing would please me more than us winning finals and both those teams missing the 8 next year.

It’s apparently in October which seems to be pretty late for a team that was last seen a few weeks ago.

If the B&F was in September then this wouldn’t be an issue.

I presume we had other plans for September when the venue was arranged...

Interesting that Freo just had their B&F and they were in the hunt weeks longer than us.

Not to defend Tom Morris, but this isn't accurate at all. He reported Christian was off to the camp, why, and that the club is fully supportive of it. That's fair and accurate. When someone said "He will be at the B&F" that's where he placed a laughing emoji and said "No he won't".

If we're going to be having crack at journalists for not being accurate then it's pretty important we don't mislead when representing what they've said.

Just get over it. The media have found the circus and by hook or by crook thye will milk every little bit of inuendo out of this. WHile they are hounding MFC they are leaving C'wood,Essendon & Carlton alone ...........wonder why !!!!

Tom Morris has nailed everything relating to the CP saga.

Hate him all you want, but you can't deny he gets good mail.

Are you kidding? Literally NOTHING he claimed has been verified by Tracc, his manager or family members. 

People keep getting secondary sources whispers and what they want to believe is accurate with actual demonstrable facts.

This is an awful take.

Embarrassing being a Melbourne supporter reading this kind of tripe from you and other Melbourne nuffies on twitter having a cry because all he's done was report facts.

It doesn't need to be verified by Petracca or his team to still be true. He's obviously not going to publicly state he wants/wanted out, without first lining up a move to his preferred club.

[Rednblueriseing 820]

If he can't go after the bnf he shouldn't be going, work on building the relationships back with your club and team mates first then go do your camp

AND THAT is what we should all be questioning..... WHO IS THE RAT IN THE PACK, FEEDING HIM THIS INFO???

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,334]

I couldn't care less whether he's at the B&F or not. For anyone constantly getting triggered when they listen to talkback sports radio there's a really simple solution. 

[layzie 33,677]

I hope B&F scheduling gets covered in the review, definitely the most important thing over anything else.

Really? How is it an awful take? Personally I think it’s an awful take to twist a positive of him being given the green light to train to his full capacity for the first time in months, him expressing in a heartfelt way how he’s looking forward to be the best he can be, how he wants to get his body and mind 100% to where he wants it to be for the start of preseason to give himself the best chance he has to have the best 2025 he can, and by doing the camp like he’s done for the last 3 years is his way to go that, what’s it matter if he’s missing a night in the grog to do that? Is it really a big deal if he misses the B&F? Is it such a bad thing to call out the unprofessional behaviour of a media hack with a long history of being a slimeball?
