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?

    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.

    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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
