This is the problem for us if we don't hold firm. Collingwood don't even have a first round pick to trade. Blues and Bombers both have one, and neither is high enough to be a key part of a package.

For Blues, Cripps, Weitering, TDK and Curnow from the Blues would be the only players we'd consider. Unlikely any of them are options, maybe TDK if we get lucky.

For Pies, N Daicos or DeGoey the only options. Daicos obviously impossible. DeGoey plus them somehow securing a high pick on top of him could do it, but won't happen.

For Bombers, Merrett the only one and that's unlikely. 

We need to deal with Richmond and get pick 1 or ship him off to the Gold Coast to get some high picks and a good kid. If he wants to go to Pies or Blues, then it's going to be a bad result for everyone concerned, including Christian himself. 

If this is about "brand", then Trac has just shot himself in the foot before even moving club. His reputation is being smashed. Irony is he's chasing Instagram likes or whatever bullsh*t, but he's going to have to turn off social media because he's going to cop it for years now. What a debacle this is. Lol at his management working overtime to dig their grave deeper here.

My sense this is other people around him pushing the agenda.

Whilst I've no doubt there is substance to Petracca wanting out, let's not forget that the media is keen for this to run and run. And rather than confirming 'facts' from reliable sources they now confirm their own stories with each other. A veritable circle jerk.

Case in point - read something today (can't remember what but concerning Trac) where one bottom-feeding muckraker claimed that his rumor had been substantiated by a slightly more elevated muckraker in Sam Edmund. Well that settles it, must be true.

McRae has essentially just ruled Collingwood out of the race on SEN.

They simply don't have the draft capital.

 

Wouldn’t trust anything coming out of the mouth of those p#%cks

I really hate this influencer thing.  A bloke is on $1M/year for several years so he's in a good position to launch his life post football.  There are plenty of jobs which with his profile he could walk into in AFL land and doubtless many other things which are of some productive value to society.  But to effectively just become a stooge for promoting products and producing nothing of value is very sad.

Maybe Trac doesn't trust the club's medical staff.

Who could blame him?

I could.  Does he also not trust the docs at the hospital that missed the seriousnesss of the injury for several hours despite havig diagnostic equipment not available at a footy ground?  If so, he needs to have a quiet think.  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't think that.  But what really annoys me is others who have blamed our docs publically and posters here who accept that line.  Sure they got it wrong but hindsight is a wonderful thiing.

It's a scourge Sue, but if you're surrounded by people in that industry continually [censored] in your pocket, I'm guessing it becomes a viable option....certainly if you're vulnerable.

I, for one, will boycott Tracc's Tagliolini, or any other pasta alliteration.

I've never seen a player look so wrong in opposition colours  🤢🤢🤮

Apologies for that. If it's any consolation I washed my hands afterwards and wiped down the keyboard with antibacterial wipes.

On another matter, not sure if already posted as it's hard to keep up, but heard it mentioned Christian was spotted with the rest of the players today for a belated Mad Monday (or early Wacky Wednesday I suppose). That would be at least some kind of good news in relation to the recent comments about players being unhappy with him and the like.

If true, I would rather all the players be there than some. Nothing worse than if the players fall into 2 factions.

I wouldn’t believe what McRae says. He’s playing poker like all the other feigning “not interested” clubs. Personally I’d like to see him go WC so as we can rescue Harley Reid before Harley starts developing mental health problems. Also will give me incentive to go to more WC games so that I can boo him.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
