    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?

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
