Harry is not on the market and he doesn't want to go anywhere. This has been made clear to everyone recently when his name was floated (with no basis in reality) with Petracca possibly leaving the Dees. Barrett probably just wants to generate cheap clicks and views, a barrel scraper.

With all due respect 31 you clearly have not learned anything on demonland.

Where there's smoke there's fire.

Morris, and now barret have suggested he could find himself at another club.

They are not going to just pluck that out if there's nothing to it.

I suspect the subtext is curnow had issued am ultimatum - Harry or me.

I suspect there might cultural issues.

McKay wants out. Kennedy treated appallingly and wants our.

Looking for a new high performance manager.

Houston doesn't want to go there

Question marks over Voss's future. Is he the one?

Where there's smoke.

    In AFL Journo world the utter desperation for "news" seems to turn them all into a baying pack of hyenas looking for scraps of truth .

    They really give carp a bad name.

    I think we should start a rolling thread of all the [censored] these guys dish up.

    Once again 4 or 5 old white men sit around and talk about how good the winning team are and how the losing team is a train wreck and should sack the coach.

    Rinse and repeat every single week. We deserve better than this.

    Does anyone else follow Petracca on Instagram?

    Today he posted a series of photos of his time in Noosa when he was recovering from injury. 

    'Throwback to my happy place'

    It's a paid partnership with a range of Samsung Galaxy products being placed in the photos.

    Is it any wonder his teammates are getting frustrated with him when he post these things? He claims he needed to get away from the club for his own recovery but posts these cringe branding posts.

    Just about every single social media post is him plugging some paid partnership of some variety. 

    Not the biggest deal in the world but leaves a slight bad taste in my mouth.

    If Trac wants some inspiration on coming back from serious injury he could do worse than wandering over to AAMI and have a chat to Ryan Papenhuyzen. Leg fractures, hammy and fractured kneecap which was a year out. Starred for Storm in their prelim.

    That’s the issue with social media for players is people make assumptions, bottom line is the players success will come with being selfless as they did in 21 & not  selfish which is not what I’m suggesting with Trac.

    This is the future. Trac is the pioneer. You will see more players doing TicTok / Insta activities and establishing their own brand as a sideline but a major income earner. I think our club has a chance to lead the way in assisting players in building their brand that will compliment the MFC as well as themselves. It might also be an effective strategy for attracting players to the club. We would be starting from scratch, as we are currently ranked last in developing social media content.

    How much money do players actually need? Especially Petracca.

    if I was another player I’d be investing my money in property, a business, shares or education for myself post career

    The difference between what the rest of players do and what CP does is that other players post/repost just as much about the club they play for, as they do their external sponsorships.  I can't remember the last time CP posted anything on his Insta that was MFC related.  Wanna show off some fancy watch or headphones you've been gifted? Sure, go for it.  But next time a player retires or hits a milestone, repost it like the rest of your teammates do.  It is a team sport, after all.

    I don't think I'll ever understand why people care about stuff like this. Publicly purity testing players for their social media performance. Ugh, it makes my skin crawl.

    While it does make me cringe a bit, it's not that he wants to build his brand that is the issue. I've unfollowed him as his posts don't give me what I'm looking for.

    The issue is that he spoke to the players about how important it was for him to get away from the club and get to Noosa to relax. The players were annoyed that Trac wasn't completing his rehab at the club like others have to. He puts himself before the club. After talking to the players about this to clarify, he posts product placement pictures during his time there. 

    I feel like this is the perception from his teammates about what he is about, and now there is a post confirming it.

    Sure, it probably took his partner and hour to get it done, but the perception is already there and now for me it's been confirmed. 

    How do his teammates feel about it? Probably not much, it's not a big deal, but it adds more weight to the situation.

    Yes I agree but we are from another generation (sorry, not sure if you fit into that category) and would have done what you have said. I guess there is more opportunities to do both.

    I think he has 2 accounts. One is football related and the other is his cooking and personal stuff. From what I have seen he hasn't posted any footy stuff since July.

    While he lives in a team environment, he is a standalone entity that the club needs to recognise and manage. He will give his all in the workplace, but after that....

    The reason Cripps got 45 votes is clearly because they have no other good midfielders. We have had CP5 and Clarry fighting each other (metaphorically) for votes. 
     

    If CP5 really does want to go, Carlton clearly need him....

    Looking forward to this thread becoming dormant.  It gives me zero joy.

    That's my whole point though.

    Reports were that team mates were unhappy with the Noosa trip. So much that he spoke to the players about it once he returned.

    Giving your all to the workplace doesn't involve going to Noosa for rehab. I understand that the situation was delicate and unique. I'm sure the players accepted the response from Trac for his reasons for needing to get away from the club for his mental well-being. 

    Posting product placement pictures from your time away in my opinion doesn't help with the perception that he put his brand ahead of the workplace.

    It's not even a storm in a teacup, so it will be the last I post about it.

    I know it was your point and I was agreeing with you. I was just adding to your post.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
