The reality with Trac, he is a ‘brand’ and his fiancé is his marketing brand manager. They need to maximise every opportunity possible. The MFC put brand CP5 into jeopardy. The magnitude of the situation is still not known. I really hope all parties can get him going again and event get his buttery fingers working (🎣)

I hope he comes out and says something. The messaging “he is contracted for 5 year he’s not going anywhere” sounds really [censored] from the club.

There must be a fair bit of junk happening at the club, I just hope that it can all be cleaned up. I don’t want to go back to the dark old days😔

This self interest protection aligns to the rumour I’ve also heard. It doesn’t paint Trac in a good light. It says more about where his interests lie as opposed to something the club is doing wrong.

    Well those cool calm word from the skipper have allayed all my fears 👀

    Yeah that was not a polished performance. Gawn is usually quite straight down the bat, but his whole demeanor wasn’t great. 
    He seems annoyed. Maybe he is just annoyed at having to deal with more fires.

    Max has looked grumpy and frustrated most of the season. Not the laconic ebullient positivity of past seasons

    He’d be terrible at poker because you could see right through that.

    I’m in strong dialogue with Trac and I’m in preliminary discussions… oh dear - corporate speak.

     

    Angus brayshaw was the cultural glue, let’s not underestimate that.

    Wasn’t too bad. Max saying “we’re all relatively unhappy at this point” seemed to me to be an effort to show camaraderie with Trac. And why shouldn’t there be camaraderie? After all it’s entirely possible (I say, likely) that Trac’s issues with the club are shared by several other players

    It’s giving “I worked on this group assignment alone and you all enjoyed the grades” vibes. 
     

    I am sure Max is fed up with having to carry the team and then defend it in the media. 

    Edit: I understand it’s totally up to Gus and how he’s feeling physically and mentally, but I would move heaven and earth to get him back to the club in an off field role.

    That wasn’t the most convincing interview Max has ever done. Going to be a bloody long offseason.

    Was going to point out to that poster that Oliver did not attend the Anglesea camp. 

    But your approach was far more effective.

    Agreed but given that's the case why not such down this thread? The club has made a categoric statement. What more do you need? Topic over just like pre game each week.

    I’ve had enough of 2024 and the constant negativity with player unrest or issues.

    Would be great to hear some positive news from the club over the offseason that can generate some excitement heading into next season.

    I mean, it’s a little unrealistic to expect people on this forum to remain quiet while it’s on several TV programs and the members have just received an email from the club.  

    Sure, it’s mostly hearsay. But as long as it refrains from baseless disparaging of individuals, it’s otherwise completely expected. 

    Gossip is an important part of a healthy society, don’t you know.

    I can't simply silence every discussion that makes people uncomfortable.

    Earlier this year, we had to shut down discussions about Clarry, Joel, and the board issues for legal reasons. Those topics deserved attention, but some individuals either couldn't or wouldn't follow the rules, forcing us to close all discussion.

    I don't want to take that route here for now but will monitor the situation.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
