Maybe he just wants a brownlow and knows Clarry makes that hard?

    I think whoever has advised him has done a horrible job.

    Agreed. He is absolutely trashing his brand right now.

    I cannot wait for Caro's next column. She nailed the situation perfectly "There is no leadership here" Wants bigger crowds and to increase his brand. She also let it drop. There is a board meeting going on tonight as we speak, and McKay's manager states he is happy at the Blues. I can only hope that CP5 isn't thinking straight and making bad decisions because he is trashing his brand.

    I don't think there will be any love for Christian in her next column

    You're right would be much easier playing alongside Cripps or Daicos

    He's not going to get it at Carlton or Collingwood

    That is the funny thing. They may think making up public relations style reasons is softening the blow or making it seem reasonable when it comes across as more like Tom 'just having a look' Scully.

    FWIW, back at the Richmond Praccy / family day early this year, of all the players to be out there signing autographs, the very last two players remaining out there long after the scheduled closing time were our Titan, Max Gawn, and one Clayton Oliver, battered and bruised from a bone crunching bump, and fresh off the off-season from hell. Speaks volumes about his character. 

    If there is one thing I will NEVER pot the club over, and I don’t care how much it damaged our “culture” in the media, is the way we stood by and helped Clarry when he was at a low point. 
    Some things are bigger than football, and players who cannot see that are frankly not good people.

    Is there any reason why the latest update regarding Tracc's exit interview has been removed?

    that explains why this thread disappeared for 10 minutes

    i didn't see anything that broke demonland rules

    Maybe our culture is spot on.

    Hear me out: is it possible that Trac knows he'll never get back to seriously playing, and he and his beloved club are on the verge of orchestrating one of the greatest draft heists in history, perhaps getting revenge on Collingwood at the same time? 

    I think he's working really hard behind the scenes to save us from ourselves.

    Melbourne want to burn early picks on Houston? Trac tells him not to come. Gonna burn cap space and picks on Lynch? He requests a trade to Carlton for McKay and, wait for it, more high picks.

    What a man

    Let him go but get the best deal for him. He may be finished as a star player anyway.

    A couple of unconnected thoughts.

    1. Did he leak the aNB news to distract and cause turmoil to somehow further his ability to leave citing cultural issues?

    2. Did Gawn and Viney sign extensions in a response to this whole thing getting beyond control

    3. Were our performances pre KB this year as a result of playing group fractures connected to this

    4. Is Trac a perennial ‘illness’ when he plays against Melbourne. 

    5. Have you unfollowed Trac in Insta yet?

    Maybe he is planning on retiring and wants to trojan horse his way to the pies first, rock up to preseason with a two month load of Parma on the belly?

    Deary me..

    Some really startling points in this.

    Garry Pert currently in an emergency board meeting discussing all the current matters including the Petracca saga.

    Lloyd stating that he's spoken to some current melbourne players that have said that they think would be best if Christian left the club.

     

    Dazz, I think its all over !! Club is now in total Turmoil! NO way Tracc will be at Dees next year ! Huge development!

    Curious as to who you think would be a bigger star/calibre of player to leave us since Ron

    Greg Wells, Earl Spalding.

    Could the fact that there is an ongoing investigation into certain matters have played a role? Are we allowed to mention that if we use vague language?

    What if the club meets half way for Christian. Yes, we will trade you but only to a club that we believe have the absolute right capital. Maybe that’s West Coast? We were extremely keen on Reid. Maybe it’s North? LDU and pick 2? Christian won’t get everything he wants if he ends up leaving.

    But he could get a brownlow

    And we need multiple hard running midfielders to replace Tracc, Brayshaw and maybe Clarrie. McKay would be nice but won’t solve our problems if our midfield isn’t functioning.

    Just wondering how that conversation goes

    “Hey Charlie (cornrow), sounds like petracca may want to come here, how would you like to go to Melbourne?”

    Nup

    ”Hey Harry, Charlie said no, but how about you go to Melbourne instead”

    Nup

    At least this whole mess might cause some trouble at Carlton - haha

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
