I don’t read books but I think I will start once these players and coaches release autobiography’s. Strange times. 
 

I have very mixed feelings about this situation. Part of me wants to see him stay and play out his career with us and part of me wants to us get as much as possible for him and have players that actually want to play for the club.

Does Gary pert live in Noosa?

If he does he’s racking up a heap of frequent flyers. He’s at training three times a week and at every match.

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. 

This aint adding up for mine, even Leigh Matthews was surprised!

Morris clearly has direct contact to either Trac or his team. I hate that smarmy misogynist, and there’s probably more to it, but the fact that he chose to discuss what appears to be very fixable problems, is interesting. 

Sounds like Trac and his team have realized there’s no chance a trade will happen, so they’re softening their positioning as to, in Morris’ words, not walk back with tail between the legs.

This is all starting to resemble a slow motion train wreck! Was the all very obvious, inclusive camaraderie and celebrations after our great win up at the Suns aimed as much at Petracca as the footy public and media? Just wish Christian would tell the public what his issues are with the club. All we know is he is disgruntled with the direction of the club but not the coach?

Let's do an experiment - please post a reply here the next time you see him in Melbourne

Unbelievable if true that he would be so alienated by this and want to leave, surely would need to be more serious than this

Bet Trac wants to play for the Filth…

Isn’t it a shame that the filth traded their first round pick for Shultz 😁😁😁

Pies could never get a trade done, unless they’re willing to trade Nick Daicos.

Would explain why he’s always helping them off the deck, giving them bum taps & laughing with them post match. Even that scum maynard.

Essendon could get it done I reckon. They have their 2024/5 first rounders and a surplus of mids

Are they big enough a club or does the Marvel stadium home ground bring them down a notch?

Sounds like the players who were cracking the [censored] at Petracca for going to Noosa owe him an apology. No wonder he's annoyed.

Club needs to bend over backwards to sort this out. Everything around that KB injury has been nothing short of a disaster.

I think the only Melbourne team in contention that could obtain the currency for Trac is the dogs. 
 

 Naughton would absolutely be of interest to us and potentially surplus to their needs. They will also have decent compensation coming back for losing Smith. 
 

Trac and bont in the same midfield would be scary good too.

Even if there were some crossed wires between players and Petracca as to why he was recuperating in Noosa and wasn't in Melbourne with his teammates, surely this could be easily rectified? And as a leader of the club, if he felt the message wasn't getting through and he was worried about it, couldn't he clarify it? The players have ample ways of communicating these days - phone calls, SMS, email, WhatsApp, messenger etc. It ain't hard.

No, I won’t do that because there’s no need for it. I see him twice a week at Gosch’s… the flush run on a Monday (sometimes Tuesday) and the captain’s run on GameDay eve. I can’t get to Casey for the midweek sessions but my friend does and she sees Perty among other admins there.

i don’t know what you’re getting at but I hope you’re not implying I’m a liar.

I think being a 20 year long joke bring them down a notch personally

Do you believe everything you read? Genuine question.

So wait hang on, either Morris had worded this poorly, or if it’s accurate this is absurd:

- Players were frustrated that Tracc went to Noosa and wasn’t at the club.

- They didn’t know the full reasons why he went to Noosa.

- And when it was explained to them, they then understood.

Tracc was in ICU 2 months ago and could have died… he’s been in Noosa for what, a month? A few weeks?

So a few weeks after ALMOST DYING, he goes to Noosa… and other players are frustrated and can’t understand why he wasn’t at the club?

They couldn’t figure out any reasons why Tracc wasn’t coming to work after what happened 2 months ago?

What?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
