A very long and important off season coming up

The right decisions have to be made, there is no room for error 

The Supporter base has had enough…

Settle down sweetie.

Haha . We are a joke again. Just great. Next we will hear his monster contract will demand that we pay all of his salary and give pick 6 to the club that wants him. *sarcasm*

Well, this is better than any movie I was just about to put on.

WCW, what is your take on this?

Haha newsflash if needed - players don’t communicate their future plans or disgruntlement with the club to members of the cheer squad!

In any workplace you have unhappy people. It’s never good when your best employees are unhappy tho, and if it’s true it needs to be fixed and fast. Being back at the club would definitely help you would think. 

And if you believe Morris 🤮, he did say Trac is not unhappy with the coach, which contradicts the reports that he’s unhappy with the direction of the club.

 Is he unhappy we directed our season to a bottom 8 finish? Coz like same Trac.

 

At least we’re in the news

So potentially within the span of 12 months

Brayshaw - retired

Oliver - linked to Adelaide 

Viney - linked to North

Petracca - possibly requesting a trade

What the bleep has happened to this football club?

Brayshaw - medically retired.

oliver - still at the club last time I checked

viney - still at the club

petracca - still at the club

its almost like most of the things the media says might happen don’t happen!

One can only laugh at the demonland cheer squad brigade who  will continue to defend the club at all costs. Watch them now blame Petracca in all of this haha. 

Some supports really need to wake up. 

I'm sure that some of this will be to do with the type of footy we are playing as well. 

There are definitely parallels to the end of 2020. There was huge discontent at the end of that year, and a few fresh faces came into the coaching ranks and it was all resolved.

We definitely need to smash this off season on a number of fronts.

Ahhh so we should believe Tom Morris because someone said it on demonland first? Where do you reckon Morris got it from?

Clearly we need to make some changes this offseason but I’m not buying Tracc will be one of them nor do I buy he’d want more than to see the kind of progress we’d all want to see.

Well , without a statement from the Club or player the only authority is from the ultimate ambo chaser Morris. Ch 9 have to have something to fill the post Aussie lympics.

Even this report says he’s not upset at Goodwin per se. 

ch 7 employee

Is venting his spleen part of the recovery process? 

it's not as though it's difficult to see why players would be frustrated with a lot of what's happened since 2021. 

The way his injury was handled was really really ordinary, i don't think he was thrilled with how the clarry stuff was handled either.

Agree. Always has been.

Far from ideal but we have to hope and back the club in to get things right.

Said in another thread that there were some unhappy players at the club. Trac was one of them.

Regardless of what some people on hete think that every single player is happy at our club and for the coach, well they arent, that's the reality. 

Some are happy, some aren't. That's footy clubs for you.

The club handled the Trac situation poorly and the family are still not on great terms with the club.

From a players parent I bumped into a few weeks back.

Among other things Dazz is my mail, I can just see us Missing for 2025 Tracc, Clarry and Viney! Definately there is a Buzz around and it aint pleasant!

None of this is new. We've all known this and Morris is just reporting it closer to the trade period to stir it up for obvious reasons.

Will be all fine. He and Oliver will both end up at Geelong with us paying their salaries somehow and giving them our first 2 draft picks.

Great point about 2020. 

We absolutely need to refresh the FD around Goodwin and get some different energy. 
Yze was really loved and respected by all our mids. His arrival at the club was very important and I think his departure has been really costly (although I of course understand that he had to jump at the top job when one was offered to him!). 

Finishing bottom 8 when you’ve been top 4 and premiers for the last 3 years, must be really frustrating. It is for the fans, so why wouldn’t it be for the players who work so hard to succeed? 
It’s been a truly horrible season. 

Well I’m hoping whatever the hell is wrong can be sorted out - he is a crucial part of this clubs immediate future and along with Max and Jack he represents the very fiber of this team 

Is it possible he is disappointed with certain people not adhering to team / club standards and there being no real ramifications? Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised

Dees and Richmond going to own the entire first round of picks! Going to be a boring night for 16 clubs

He drives a very high standard and clearly expects those around him to do the same. Unfortunately there’s 30 odd blokes, all with differing minds and bodies. I’d love to see Oliver put in the off season that Tracc does

How do you figure that all 3 of these CONTRACTED players will not be with us in 2025?

Did Viney look like someone who wants out on Saturday night?
