Stuffed footy franks.

I think Trac should leave.  He almost died and now the club is backgrounding the press to take down his reputation.  Vintage MFC.  It's a weak club run by weak people.  We have a long history of exporting players who go on to have better careers elsewhere and Trac will be no different.  I hope he goes somewhere that wraps there arms around him warts and all and let him play his best footy.   I love the club but save for norm smith getting sacked this has been the darkest week in the clubs history.

Just a tad melodramatic 🤣

Perhaps our good friend Gtrain has forgotten about the number of MFC casualties during WWII.  Absolute tragedy. Yer, a week when a bloke has said nothing is far worse. Give me a spell.

Trac is at my country shack avoiding media scrutiny .

We made ravioli together and quaffed a Soave then a nice Chianti.

I’ve rolled a Jamaican cigar.

Today I’ll be teaching him gratitude, silence and how to do one’s laundry in private.

The young Padawan still has much to learn.

Journalists are not friends.

Loyalty is everything in business/ friendship.

Money won’t but you respect

So many lessons…….

Fixed it.

Yet you've posted this on Demonland, which is a social media site.  

 

I’m not sure I categorise this as social media. This is a discussion forum where people with a common interest come to discuss things and share news etc. not just a social media free for all where everyone just wants to get likes and tell other people stuff they aren’t interested in ever like how good their fancy lunch looked. 
 

No sir DL is definitely not social media, it is very specific watering hole type online place that actually has a purpose. 
 

I take your point though, if I had it my way there would be no internet and the world sound be a better place. Humans just can’t handle so much choice and information.

Not really. Anyone with as little as a week experience in media relations or corporate affairs can see that these leaks are coming from the club.

He goes out for lunch with 3 teammates... and 3 teammates on condition of anonymity leak details of the lunch to the media lol

I was referring to the 'worst week in our clubs history' comment.  Read my earlier response.

[waynewussell 4,842]

Whateley is at it again on SEN this morning. Ran a long diatribe on the Petracca issue. Was adamant that MFC let Petracca and family down in the first weeks of ICU. I rang to try and respond but could not get through.

He’s just part of the media [censored] squad. 

[John Crow Batty 8,763]

Whateley is a POS journalist. His self righteous snivelling style is unbearable.

The club released another statement this morning:

Petracca needs to say something very soon so we can all move on as he is causing untold damage to the club in his silence.

Only reason I can think of as to why he hasn’t is he is waiting for Carlton to finish their campaign so they can declare their mutual interest in a trade.

Yeah I would say that there is no other reason I can think of for the silence. Ive been putting pressure on a couple of folks who claim to know him personally but to no avail. 

[greenwaves 442]

I feel like it doesn't really matter if he stays or goes, this is a culture killer.

let's assume this is true

what then do you think is the motive of people in the club leaking such info?

[Gorgoroth 12,685]

Trac won't speak until he has either got a trade or is staying. 

Speaking before either thing occuring is not in his best interest. 

But the longer the silence lingers the more likely he is already gone.

Yeah i noticed the comment about 3 players attending the lunch and then 3 players leaking - seems convenient.

It could just be that the players want to try and reassure the supporters or let them know the truth. 

My feeling is they know he is probably gone.

Well not really. What was said was that Trac's issues had been mentioned a few times. Media mention 3 at lunch and 3 players talking anonymously and everyone falls for 'oh it was the same 3'. So many fail to think.

I mostly agree but I would say the longer the silence lingers the more likely he'll choose to leave, because getting the trade to happen will be difficult
