Unfortunately so, and at least there will be some tightening soon

    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?

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

    Thanks in advance.

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

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
