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

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
