Big time. Few are aware of the potential effect sacrificing can make.

    Petracca won’t be the one running or posting to his non-footy Instagram account. Calm ya farms. 

    Unless I'm missing something, Trac has his Insta cooking account (managed by his partner) plus his personal account. The post in discussion here was on his personal account.

    Blurred lines.

    Considering all of the hashtags involve the name of the same company, I’d hazard a guess that this was a paid commercial post, therefore most likely not posted by Trac himself. It’s just an odd situation to put yourself in. He allegedly told his teammates that he went to Noosa to get away (for mental health reasons; completely fair), then this post pops up on his IG, from Noosa, containing product placement. I understand we’re not allowed to discuss what (or who) is driving all of this, so I’ll leave it at that.

    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.

    If the players think he doesn't take his footy seriously and is only focused on making money/building his social media presence they need to take a good hard look in the mirror. Would they rather he join in JS's What's App?

    Would it be possible to enlighten me in what or who TWSNBN is.

    Also what role did Joe Daniher have and when was he there?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dear "thanks in advance" i couldn't be bothered.

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

    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.

    Would this be fair then? Up in Brissie stars  everywhere. Up in Sydney, only one Grundy.

    Then that GF result. My point being the players have adopted this theme already.

    Bailing out on his "best bud", that doesn't bode too well for him either.

    The interview Claz did the other day was frustrating to watch/listen to in this regard. He kept mentioning people having to put up with him last year, especially Max whom he lived with most of the year it seems and mentioned he was like Max's third child for that period. He did thank Max for all the support but it definitely seemed to put a strain on those around him including Trac I'd imagine.

    This is a 26/27 yr old guy whose on $1 million+ per year. I understand there were personal issues last year as well as not coping well with injuries but there is a degree of professionalism needed and its clear that he hasn't been reaching these standards.

    Good luck to Geelong with all of that.

    Fair that the playing group might still be a bit unhappy with Trac and how the last month or so was dealt with. Hopefully that bridge will be mended over time.

    But how does this mean that Trac is on the table for trade?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
