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.

 

He might be unhappy with some of the players on the list.

A lot of people are

That is the first time maybe ever that Gary has actually stuck up for the club. 

He is completely spot on. Things are not perfect, but we don't need to burn the place down like some suggest.

If you read anything at all, you still find he was not allowed visitors apart from family and fiancee for about 10 days post injury.

Good points which clarify why Club not there. On that point should not be an issue for anyone. 
thanks Ollie.

PS. I have been OS in USA/Canada and not completely over all the very recent Trac stuff due to time/limits of info I have looked up on phone on trip.

Well spoken but this is an inflammatory thread and the club has spoken emphatically.  Not sure why you're choosing to keep it open. It's now a non story and you're inviting vitriol. 

I still don’t understand why your hell bent on shutting down this thread. It makes absolutely no sense. If it makes you uneasy or uncomfortable do yourself a favour and don’t step into it. 
 

People are allowed to see things from a different perspective and feel comfortable to challenge the norm. It may be a clear cut, non story to you but others clearly are yet to settle on the clubs own narrative. 

[Jaded No More 67,609]

Trac looking downright depressed on Melbourne's socials today. The laughing with teammates is fake. Tom Morris told me.

Not uncomfortable at all mate. It's just absolute media driven garbage. The thread is titled ' Tracc Wants Out'. No evidence whatsoever to support this . None! If people want to question the direction of the club etc fine. Start a new thread. Demonland has closed threads for less and has just posted not to be using hearsay and rumour on this site. If this doesn't fit into those categories I'm not sure what does.

[John Crow Batty 8,763]

Trac if he really wants to leave will I assume is likely to take a hefty pay cut and shortened contract elsewhere. No sane club will take a punt taking on his current lengthy contract given the still unknown future consequences of his very serious injury.

I’ll play devils advocate. Nobody not in any press event has actually come out and denied the rumour either. Correct me if I’m wrong here , but all I have heard is the reference to contract and that it will be enforced. Pert has said it, Goody has said and Maxy has said it but none of them have said that Trac wants to stay. It is my opinion only that this deliberate omission is in fact an admission of truth. 

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,291]

Tracc has broken his social media hiatus, posting a message about Nibbler

So basically if we didn't have a snitching rat in our midst again, this whole issue would be just another day at a footy club, and we would all be none the wiser.

Whoever is leaking information out of the club needs to be removed from the club immediately! 

Let me at 'em

I agree.   
However considering the total mess these matters have  become, entirely due to speculation/baseless rumours, suggestions of leakers etc,  I am curious as to the following :-

Whilst it is clearly unacceptable for a paid employee of the club to leak information to the media is it appropriate for other people who are privy to internal information to then pass it on via Demonland?

I think paid up members are entitled to know the state of play.

Let me reiterate - Nobody can deny that Trac wants out / requested a trade.

There has been plenty of opportunity to do that: Pert, Goody and Max have spoken and have yet to not deny this. The title of thread hence is appropriate and worthy of continued discussion.
 

Note it is not called Trac will not be at MFC next year, if it was I’d then I’d be more inclined to agree with your opinion.

Doesn't make me uncomfortable at all mate but the Petracca issue is over similar to the gameday thread is at the final siren. You say you're concerned about character assassinations? Close the thread! Petracca is staying. End of! Why let it fester? Some will over dramatise anything and before you know it there's meltdown. Move on.

If it’s ok with you big brother I’ll continue to post on this thread if I feel like it.

No body can deny??!!  Of course they can until Trac says it. 
but the thread title is saved by having a question mark. But it does reek of click bait. 

[Travy14 1,813]

Tom Morris not asking any question and driving his story in Goodwin's press conference says a fair bit.

An Idea, i believe Petracca is still all in and keen as for 2025.  Should we make him Co-Capt with Max for him to take over in 2026?  If he wants it.  I think he would really love the role and we know whilst Max is still there he will always be a leader regardless of the C next to his name

[Sir Why You Little 36,587]

All of these Rumours would have started with Player Managers, they speak to each other regularly, at this time of year, it would be daily. 
Morris would be doing the same..

Tracc is heavily contracted, so he was never going to leave, that doesn’t mean he can’t tell the Club to sharpen up 

Personally i am glad this has become public, the tough decisions at all levels will have to be made

Many of them should have been addressed last offseason

From the vision I saw Trac was sitting in the back of the coaches box. 
Can anyone confirm?

I thought he wasn’t in the coach’s box, nor on the bench, but sitting with the other injured players. 🤷‍♀️ 

[Wrecker46 2,858]

If the trade i have heard is on the table @picket fence wont he happy. There wont be room for another forward and it's not coming from West Coast.

For the record i want to keep Trac at all costs

Wright? 

[Jack7 521]

If any player wants out,trade him and move on.I'd happily take the Suns pick 5 and 7 for Trac

 

When Buddy left the Hawks for the Swans as the best player in the AFL,the Hawks moved on and won 2 more flags.

 

I'm absolutely livid that Trac is so self centered and put himself before our great club and sooked it up.Professional and mature players keep these issues inside the 4 walls.

 

Life goes on!!!

I assume this is a trade not involving Trac? 😅😅 why not give a name… not going to change anything?
