I just did a word count on this thread (took a while, too) and you won't be surprised by the results.

The word that appears most frequently, and by a considerable margin, is IF.

Can somebody let me know if any facts ever emerge?

On this, even the hardest of Demons hearts would’ve melted at what happened yesterday. Honestly, it was staggering. There was this unmistakable sense of unity and trust. Everyone came together and the vibe was one of mateship and ‘I’ve got your back, always.’ Too many little examples to list. And this was BEFORE the match. I really can’t explain in words the overwhelming feeling after the match. Some of us were crying, not me, I’d never cry over footy, (insert suss monkey puppet gif) but not so much in sadness or happiness, it was all about healing, that’s the only way to describe it.

Anyways, after the match most people had left the ground including the folks in the back of our bay. On the opposite side of the ground our players were standing in a circle for quite a while and you just knew Max would’ve been saying some pretty emotional things. The few of us still there didn’t start packing up like we usually do, instead we continued waving flags and chanting. The circle broke up eventually and the boys headed our way. Again, hard to explain the sight of them, absolutely knackered but there was nowhere else they’d rather be. I saw that Nibs had tears in his eyes.

I really feel for Trac, and this situation seems impossible to fairly judge without all the information. I’m sure there’s a lot going on behind closed doors. I do think it’s pretty hard not to read something into this, but I think some compassion for Trac is definitely needed here. He’s been through a hellish experience, the club would have lost a lot of his trust in the way it was handled, and his distancing himself could just be his way of protecting himself from reliving all the trauma. We’ve been told he’s dissatisfied with the “direction” the club’s going in - notably not with Goody - which to me sounds like an excuse more than anything. He’s hurt, and he just can’t deal with us right now … that’s my highly speculative take, anyway! I hope the club’s  taking his mental health seriously because I get the sense that minimising what he’s been through in any way would be the final straw.

Top marks for the FNM moniker

Personally I don’t think we should hang our superstar player out to dry quite yet…..everyone’s personality is different after all might be taking him a while to even get his head around footy again 

He is not yet at the point of no return. But if it’s redemption he seems, let his footy do the talking. Round 1 be there raring to go.

Thanks Jaded I was a bit worried there 😅

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I guess when its all done and dusted we wouldnt have a flag without Tracc even if he does now want to go to a 'bigger club'. But that being said, for the first time in a while we responded with actions rather than talk and showed that you young blokes have a lot of potential.

Should’ve known no one would believe it. 😁

Yesterday my DA bestie was like, okay we all know she cries after every loss and after close nail-biting wins, but right now she’s crying after a huge thumping win. She’s set a precedent right there! And everyone laughed.

Jokes on them though; I’ve cried after huge thumping wins before, I just hid it well. 😜

So basically, our poor communication has led to everyone spitting the dummy, Trac and teammates.
Whoever is responsible for that needs to have their head on the chopping block. How could you let [censored] fester to the point where it explodes and you have a player of Trac’s quality wanting out?
 

But as the panel says, the likelihood that any team has anything even remotely worthy to give us in a trade for Trac, especially a team he wants to play for, are close to 0. 
 

Looks like a long summer of building bridges and mending broken egos.

Possibly something a CEO would be across if he wasn't "working from home" and lives in Noosa

Surely this is not true. 
Also if Pert lives in Noosa, he should have been over to Trac’s place every night singing him a lullaby. Not letting resentment fester.
