Not only is the club happy to put Clarry on the table but Trac is also still on the table - the player group unhappy with him

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?

I'm beginning to empathise with Trac more now that the Clarry drama continues to unfold

Who knows how bad it was last year

Good call missing the BnF too.  Call me when your house is in order Demons

Check back in 2026.

Uber professional..

But that contraption looks like a medieval torture device  😳

He will come out breathing fire next year.  Can't wait to see him play again.

That's great to see and gratifying (Tracca on the apparatus)

The one thing that all A Grade elite players have in common is personal pride ... they want to be the best and ego's do play a part

So how are Clarrie, Viney & Tracca going to react to the addition of a couple of top end midfield draft picks who may be on their way to becoming elite?   

It will be competitive ... full on in fact. Just the way the coach will want it

It's probably the first time in their careers that Trac and Clarry have had high end midfield talent at their own level come into the club through the draft, i suspect they'll quickly become big brother figures and mentors for these young guys.

The way Trac is training he could be one of the most feared people on Earth. 

[Robbie57 2,014]

I think Uber professional is an apt description and was probably the source of the friction. One thing is obvious the whole club needs to be as uber professional which will require everyone to work as hard as Trac this off season to get our house in order.

Funny what happens when you put the hard work in during the off-season.

Could Carlton try to use Pick 3 for Petracca? Would you take it?

If you were clearing him, you would take it as PART of a deal.

TDK and 3 would be something you might look at and SDK comes out of contract next year.

You might get a steak knives Matt Kennedy as well.

Not happening, just answering your question.

Might be worth putting a bet on Christian Petracca to win the Brownlow Medal at the Demons next year in 2025?

Gamble responsibly of course.

Fitness nerd Ted looks at this and immediately what jumps out is considering he's had an extended period of essentially limited activity and low heart rate for his health reasons, his body weight % is still clearly extremely low which shows that Trac is absolutely elite, even among elite company for discipline, diet and sticking to his off field aspects of being a professional athlete. 

maintaining a body shape like he has is an extremely difficult task for 99.9% of people unless you have ridiculous genetics. 

[VNightCityLegend 57]

I am 8 years younger than Nadal, but in spite of this I still managed watch and follow his tennis journey from 2004 and the way he has been able to chisel out his physique whilst maintaining the aerobic and strength durability through 15+ different kinds of injuries is just unreal.

Looking at Trac now, he is cut from the same cloth. I’m a straight guy, but I can’t stop staring…. I was fairly optimistic for 2025, but looking at the work Petracca is putting in, I am almost certain we will bounce straight back into top 4 calculations.

Surely the club would have learnt some valuable lessons and use the off season troubles as fuel to attack 2025 head on.
