I'm usually not one for banging my own drum when I correctly predict an event.

But I'm going to make an exception in this case.

As I predicted, some noise then kick the redemption narrative into gear.

Joe strummer- one of the absolute best

    I never doubted you Tracc! 39 touch Norm Smith Medalist and Premiership hero. Hopefully the club can make the changes.

    5 year contracts are a real sobering thing…

     

    In all seriousness - some on here will not like it - but we have to have a talk about the captaincy for 2025.

    I am not saying there isn’t work to be done but I have been saying for 3 years now that CP5 is the next captain. I want to hold to it.

    You need to be a leader who others will respect to be captain.

    You’re welcome to DM me but Demonland has asked time and time again not to name certain people in public. 

    I have nothing to apologize for. He is a great player and I’m glad he’s staying. Just because I don’t like how he’s gone about it doesn’t mean I don’t want him sticking around and helping us get better and back into contention. 

    You just responsed to me yet again! Aren't I a DH that has only been here 5 months that you can't be bothered wasting time on? Make up your mind pal. You want me to DM you. Really? I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.You have no sources and you run to hide behind the Demonland rules to so as not to be exposed.

    Relieved that he signed but just to play devil's advocate; the letter commits to the Dees for 2025. Does not mention the 5 years at all. The club better get it's [censored] in order otherwise the Carlton's and Collingwood will be more prepared and bring more to the table next year.

    This is undoubtedly good news

    It's news that gives a good vibe... we're all happy happy.

    We need to understand this is a case of square pegs/ round holes making the best of an awkward situation.  Do I dare say Trac's been cooking...reached into the pantry and realised he's a little short of recipe requirements !! 

    This IS good news....for now. 

    Let's get on with things. Let's play footy.

    Is this over ?? I doubt it. It's over for now.

    Yay

    Go Dees

    He is not captaincy material. Jake Lever will be the next skipper. We need a dad figure

    Agree. But Pies first-rounder could be not much better than 18 - 20, and even with two years of future firsts hard to see how that gets done.

    But the other variables are:

    - Trac getting back to his very best after the injury from hell. Not so sure.

    - He'll be going on 30 at the end of next season. Not the kind of age where you can build a team around him for 5 years. When Judd moved to Carlton he'd just turned 25.

    - That contract. Long and expensive for someone getting into the later stage of his career.

    Yeah - just like that useless Sidebottom and Dangerfield. Fancy building a team around them to push towards a flag.

    Would've preferred he left after crying like a baby in public for 2 weeks and dragging our club through the mud to appease his own agenda.

    I have absolutely no doubt he's been advised he can't get to C & C so he has to stay with us.

     

    If the Pies had 2 top 10 picks to give us,he'd be there in a Heartbeat!!!

    You clearly have no idea about club, internal mateship and culture.

    Maybe he is that tho. 

    I think most of the arguments people will come at me with are also arguments against retaining him.

    Perhaps. 

    Whatever the case, I think Max has run his race.

    As for a trade not being able to get done. I don’t think that was the case.

    Jeremy Cameron went to Geelong for picks 15, 18 & 25.

    Dangerfield went to Geelong for picks 9, 28 & Dean Gore.

    If Trac still wanted to be traded I think a deal would of gotten done, we wouldn’t of liked it but it would of got done.

    Anyone besides me wondering if some in the media will now turn on Trac? And keep beating us up.

    Oh, nothing to worry about . . .

    Good outcome. Perhaps the kind of outcome a well run club would get in trying to navigate its way out of an extraordinary and tricky circumstance. 

    Shows the media types up for the fools they are .

    I honestly would have had no qualms with Trac if he left with how the club handled his injuries, but stoked he is sticking around.  

    Solid trolling mate. Joined 2 hours ago and trying to get people wound up again subtly. 

    well played

    As someone from Canberra-proper, yes I am serious. 

    I will admit that this urge is more anti-Gawn than pro-CP5 but if he puts the work in he has to be considered, otherwise he isn’t worth keeping around.

    Losing Kozzie would hurt more than Trac

    Time to move on...... I know it's quick and you need to process but he helped win us a Flag and he may of just forced the club to make some overdue changes. I also know many on here, including myself, took a few swipes at him but footy remains a game where supporters expect their players to remain steadfastly loyal. That is unless a trade suits us, which this one didn't. Either way I'm back on the Tracc wagon for now, I think you should jump aboard

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
