Absolutely. There's been smoke there for a while but delusional supporters still don't want to believe that there is nothing wrong with the club.

The footy department have the biggest 3 months ahead since the pre Paul Roos appointment in getting the right people in the door through the door whether thats coaching or recruitment. 

There are a number of factors why there are players that are currently unhappy, but when it's your star player, you take on his feedback and do whatever it takes. 

Gut the place, and put some fresh voices around our team and give them a game plan that is going to play to their strengths that will stand up in finals and win.

 

EXACTLY GUT THE PLACE starting with The President, Coach, the ENTIRE football department and then some. 100% BUYING IN ON THIS !

If any of this is true, it says a lot about his leadership and character. 

Yeah, we nearly killed him sending him back out on the field, but its Tracs character

One can only laugh at the demonland cheer squad brigade who  will continue to defend the club at all costs. Watch them now blame Petracca in all of this haha. 

Some supports really need to wake up. 

I'm sure that some of this will be to do with the type of footy we are playing as well. 

I think what concerns me more than this Trac news, is the implosion of the supporter base. 
 

Continue with the personal attacks on people on here, with the attacks on the coach, President, and the players etc. 

 

Not necessarily a blight on you @middleagedemon, as you have many friends. 
 

it’s time to stick fat, support and galvanise. 
 

Just saying…… 

He may not want out but I'd get it if he was frustrated.

Nasty knee in the back sidelined him for half a year.

His mate Gus out for good.

Max has been struggling with injuries.

And not a few others struggling for form.

It's not the club of 21 . Wouldn't be as  easy to return compared to then.

Club is rotten off the field. Every chance this is viney and petracca away of saying the off field needs to change or we leave the club. 
 

Goodwin, Richardson, roffey, pert and the board all need to go.

Yep

So no wins in finals in the last 2 years and failure to make the 8 and you want to Galvanise??? No mate current admin and coach need to go!

WCW, what is your take on this?

From what I saw at training and from what I’ve recently been told chatting with the property stewards and one of the trainers and a couple of the boys re Tracc, this is very likely a huge bunch of BS, just like pretty much everything Morris says.

Of course Tracc is struggling with not being able to play and the extent and seriousness of his injuries, but that doesn’t mean he wants out.

 

I know it’s not what the soggy biscuit group wanna hear (NOT referring to you, Ollie fan. You’re one of my faves on here) but that’s my take on it anyways. 

Totally agree with DeeSince 73, i am a DeeSince 55. We could of got Hogan. Goody and assistants must, they have lost the plot.

It’s ok we’ll always have our covid cup 

Dude why even ‘support’ this club? Go find another hobby.

I’m sure what Tom Morris is reporting is true, Trac’s public comments since the incident have been pretty telling. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to work out there might be some resentment and bitterness at what happened and that’s totally fair. But a contract is a contract, bad luck! 

I feel more uneasy that another big name player will be moved on, the club can not afford to have Tracc leave.

Yeah from shizen disposal into forward 50 would be my guess!

Totally disturbing on a number of levels Dazz!

On the plus side. If Tracc, Clarry and Viney all leave we'll have 7 or 8 first round picks.

FWIW all of the young boys that have recently re-signed said they love our culture. Maybe they're talking about the YoPro sponsorship. 

How long before Kane links this Petracca story with his ‘Kossie’s dismal output’ story?

Yeah but by the time they will be ready I'll be DEAD!

If anything this makes a Clarry trade more likely. They’ll get rid of him to clean house

It’s actually a positive that all this has finally surfaced. 
Nowhere to hide, it has to be addressed 100%

I guess the players don’t really appreciate contest and defence as much as Goody.

North would not be speaking with Jack Viney unless there was some small chance it could happen. Viney would have never dreamed of leaving Melbourne unless there was some smoke there, he’s too proud a man.

Hnmm a distinct but DISTURBING possibility. If he goes, cheezus there will be a LOT of Members INCLUDING ME Totally peeezed of. Seriously if he goes then our culture is poisen. Coz many other players stuff up and come out OK on the other side! Why can't we be the same. Sorry but if he goes, cheezus ARMAGEDON awaits!
