Does anyone think that a root cause for the current situation between the club and Petracca is his deteriorated relationship with Clarry?

Not sure if they are in good terms, but they seemed estranged after the whole situation last year.

    They may have been at the start of the year but on KB there were instagram videos of Clarry, Trac and Max all spending time together playing chess.

    This seems quite timely and very targeted.

    Fair point but if your mates in trouble you don't bail.. you help.

    Is that just players or support staff too. Casey got flogged, so interesting if it was only the playing group involved

    I think it would be because Clarry hasn't leaked to the media and also the tone of the criticism of Clarry has, at times, been pretty low-brow.

    I agree that some people have been overly critical of Oliver but I also think that the animosity towards Trac has been over the top.

    C'mon guys, it's clear that Christian caught up with Lachie Neale so they can compare their recent hauls from Cash Converters.

     Shilling for pawn brokers sure enhances one’s character.

    My thoughts exactly.

    But I didn't get the impression that Petracca was very involved in the whole Clarry saga. I could be wrong but that's how I felt last year.

    Btw, I wonder what Petracca thinks after watching his mate Lachie and his team bottling the game against a side that was effectively out of contention.

    Fagan and Hinkley could be playing their last season with their respective teams.

    I hope Trac reads the statement made by his teammates today. Starting to look like he’s more the problem than our culture.

    I can understand Trac's frustrations with the club but his continued silence is honestly so disappointing (especially after a good team performance today). I saw him as a lock for future captain of our club but these are not good signs even if he does decide to stay. In saying that, I'm sure my mind will probably change once and if this all gets cleared up

    Did May travel with the team? I didn't see him, though may have missed him.

    What is the reason why Trac didn’t travel with the team, I thought maybe due to his spleen and unsafe to travel?

    He did not. I believe his partner is due to give birth any day. 
    He did however post three very positive things on his social media.

    The playing group have a big say in captain selection and leadership group. 

    This will say a lot about the impact of his actions on the playing group.

    I was at the game today and also saw Windsor there in a moon boot. Looks like most of the list was there including an injured Spargs and post surgery Clarry. Where the [censored] was Trac? Speaks volumes. Will be surprised if he’s a Demon next season.

    Seemed fine traveling to and from Noosa a couple of weeks ago.

    Were B Brown and Hunter there in the rooms too? I didn’t see them in the song clip but that might just be me. 

    Benny Brown played in the 2s pregame and kicked 6. He would have been there as all the other Casey boys who played in the pregame were in the clip.

    I’ve gotta agree with the consensus that Trac not traveling with the team in what seems to have been a team bonding exercise and to show the camaraderie of the group speaks volumes. Very disappointing and very depressing. I hope fences can be mended and that change will come from this.

    Think it was just players in the circle, but included Clarrie, Charlie and Caleb who are all injured ATM. I think the only three players not there were Maysie, Tracc and Joel Smith.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
