I’m not going to reveal my sources, so don’t ask, but Christian did a tour of the Yarraville-Seddon Eagles facilities last week. He was very impressed by what he saw, including access to the Westgate, and public transport options on both the Werribee and Williamstown lines.

His reservations are parking around Anderson street, and the lack of blockbuster movies showing at The Sun cinema. He does however rate the cinemas Choc Tops.

Ahh good old Yarraville Seddon, that’s where Josh Giddy played his footy as a ruckman. Obviously decided on basketball

I feel the media is just pushing 5 articles a day on this when they’ve had no new info apart from the original disgruntled report.

Goodwin again said today that Trac is staying and will be here for 5 more years but that wasn’t reported anywhere. Instead, more rubbish hypothetical trade articles on him leaving.

Good news doesn’t sell 

Now has to wait till '28 or '29 for the captaincy.

That's torn it...

Can i propose we change the title and focus of this stoooopid thread:

Tracc Wants Trout?

I will grant him permission to have my old username. It’s not a great one probably about as bad as Adam the God.

Agree but the problem is until Trac comes out and refutes the rumour he wants out those articles will keep coming.

Even if he stays this trade period, the articles will continue all through next year especially if the AFL brings in trading draft picks 3 years out. Then you'll have articles like the Pies trading 3 first rounders for him.

Until Trac makes a public statements one way or the other the speculation will continue.

 

People don't care about real news, it's boring.

People what to see celebrities at their worst or animals close up with a wide angled lens.

Sam McClure obviously didn't watch our win on the weekend. What a d*head

My thought exactly. There's no recognition of the fact that we were the first - and only - Victorian club to win up there this year.

McClure is a goose. "litany of scandals"

3 First Rounders and Quaynor as a hypothetical for Trac? In a heartbeat.

It'll be interesting to see what happens this off season. 

I doubt they'll make him vice captain this year, but maybe next year if he shows some renewed commitment to the club.

I'd be going with co-captains next year.

Was chatting to a mate of mine who is a mad tigers fan. He's confident that Yze and the tigers may try and convince him to come to tigerland. 

According to him they'd hypothetically get picks 9 and 10 for Bolton, then on trade those two picks and a future 1st for Trac.

At first I thought it was a nonsense suggestion, but if one side could raise the draft capital, have the salary cap room to accommodate his contract, and draw blockbuster crowds in Vic to entice him to join, it's Richmond.

I hope Trac stays, but if he forces our hand and requests a trade Richmond could make a deal happen.

They’d be maaaaad to trade away their early picks for Trac. They need to go hard at early picks to have any chance at a solid rebuild before tassie comes in. They will be rubbish for a long time with or without Trac.

Clubroom-kitchen size remains a sticking point… inconceivable he can braise ossobucco for 18 in there PLUS fit  the camera crew in

& I’m sure Trac would love to go to a club that is in a rebuild and realistically would be lucky to play finals for five years . He wants to play finals..in Melb and play at the MCG

Whenever I read stories of Demons players touring other facilities I always imagine the comparisons they must draw between Casey Fields and (insert literally any other AFL training facility) and become immediately nervous. 

By the time this Caulfield feasibility study is done (and possibly viewed as “feasible”) and the building is complete, most of our current team will have retired. This must be a constant background (and often foreground) irritation for them. One that no other clubs are forced to contend with. Our department’s long-running ineptitude in sorting out this debacle is my biggest gripe with the club

Nope that ship has sailed IMO. After all that has transpired I don’t think you can ever fully trust Trac to have the best interest of the club at hand again. He has shown a part of himself that cannot be unseen no matter the circumstances.

I think the way i'd approach it is to elevate the heir apparent to the VC role alongside Viney. 

So perhaps the leadership structure would be 

C: Max Gawn

VC: Jack Viney, Jake Lever

Josh’s kid sister plays for YSE’s junior girls team and is a handy kpp (my daughter’s on the team).

Athleticism and coordination (and height) clearly runs in the family!

I’m assuming you’re a grown adult. Why then would you need it explained that throughout a person’s career they will have moments of doubt and instability? That blind and unwavering commitment to any professional organisation is unrealistic? That physical trauma can have severe impact on one’s mental outlook? 

This “trust” of yours - what is the worth of it if it’s so readily disposed, despite having no true knowledge of the situation?

IF, Trac is desperate to leave the club now, do you think it’s because he’s got a new-found kink for disappointing thousands of people? Or could it possibly be that there is a serious issue between him and a person/people at the club?

IF, the situation is similar to what “journalists” are describing, and IF somehow Trac does manage to leave the Demons, I have a feeling we’ll discover down the track that someone who is not CP is at fault here. 

It’s either that or he’s emerged from his ordeal with an entirely new, self-serving, wreckless, prima-donna personality. I’m having trouble believing this is what happened.

I don't think it happens but I reckon they could pull it off if they wanted to. They can't draft 8 kids and expect to be competitive. The question would be is Petracca happy going to a bottom 4 team, I suspect not.

Richmond has currently picks 1, 21, 30, 39, 41, 48, 57, 64, 73.

They could easily lose all of Baker, Bolton, Rioli and Graham.

Speculation/suggestions from cal on Gettable proposed these scenarios... granted this is an  educated guess.

Rioli to Gold Coast for pick 13 (some say could even be 5).

Baker and Bolton to freo for 9, 10 and 17.

Graham to net a second round pick 22.

That could potentially leave them picks 1, 9, 10, 13, 17, 21, 22 and a stack of later picks.

They could use some of those later picks to target gold coast or Brisbane's later first rounder (14 or 20).

They could offer say pick 1 and 9 for Petracca and still have 4-5 first round picks left over. And that's not even using their future picks.

Maybe Trac isn’t in a hurry to shut it all down, he likes followers and all that useless social media [censored] doesnt he?

Social media is the pits to begin with, no such thing as bad publicity.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
