I'd be interested to know how much Trac actually likes this advertising stuff and how much his, umm personal Management are pushing it

He'd be liking the bank balance

While he lives in a team environment, he is a standalone entity that the club needs to recognise and manage. He will give his all in the workplace, but after that....

That's my whole point though.

Reports were that team mates were unhappy with the Noosa trip. So much that he spoke to the players about it once he returned.

Giving your all to the workplace doesn't involve going to Noosa for rehab. I understand that the situation was delicate and unique. I'm sure the players accepted the response from Trac for his reasons for needing to get away from the club for his mental well-being. 

Posting product placement pictures from your time away in my opinion doesn't help with the perception that he put his brand ahead of the workplace.

It's not even a storm in a teacup, so it will be the last I post about it.

I know it was your point and I was agreeing with you. I was just adding to your post.

How much money do players actually need? Especially Petracca.

if I was another player I’d be investing my money in property, a business, shares or education for myself post career 

and superannuation - tax advantages are staggering

Unfortunately so, and at least there will be some tightening soon

Big time. Few are aware of the potential effect sacrificing can make.

Unless I'm missing something, Trac has his Insta cooking account (managed by his partner) plus his personal account. The post in discussion here was on his personal account.

Blurred lines.

Considering all of the hashtags involve the name of the same company, I’d hazard a guess that this was a paid commercial post, therefore most likely not posted by Trac himself. It’s just an odd situation to put yourself in. He allegedly told his teammates that he went to Noosa to get away (for mental health reasons; completely fair), then this post pops up on his IG, from Noosa, containing product placement. I understand we’re not allowed to discuss what (or who) is driving all of this, so I’ll leave it at that.

While it does make me cringe a bit, it's not that he wants to build his brand that is the issue. I've unfollowed him as his posts don't give me what I'm looking for.

The issue is that he spoke to the players about how important it was for him to get away from the club and get to Noosa to relax. The players were annoyed that Trac wasn't completing his rehab at the club like others have to. He puts himself before the club. After talking to the players about this to clarify, he posts product placement pictures during his time there. 

I feel like this is the perception from his teammates about what he is about, and now there is a post confirming it.

Sure, it probably took his partner and hour to get it done, but the perception is already there and now for me it's been confirmed. 

How do his teammates feel about it? Probably not much, it's not a big deal, but it adds more weight to the situation.

If the players think he doesn't take his footy seriously and is only focused on making money/building his social media presence they need to take a good hard look in the mirror. Would they rather he join in JS's What's App?
