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

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
