It's starting to sound as if his career is in doubt.

Reality is that we don't know the extent of the damage, we may need to wait until January to get a more clear picture.

Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start the season.

This emphasises the fact that he won't be traded, there's still a lot of uncertainty about his mental and physical condition.

It’s taken 2 months for Trac to get the nerve up to talk to best mates at the club

You reckon he wants to front up to the media that have been spreading nonsense about him? Maybe he’s having a tough time mentally?

Why did he accept the interview then? Very strange to let it become public just to pull off just 1 hour before it.

It has been said many times during the last week.

The bare minimum would be 2 top 10 draft picks, is there any club that can satisfy that? (as well as being a contender).

maybe he thought he’d be up for it and then turns out he wasn’t.

For someone that is a public image of the club and the AFL, I can't understand this amateurish handling of his PR.

It's not like he is Clarry who is clearly not a guy who likes to be under the spotlight.

Yeah a couple of decades ago I had a sudden medical emergency with no warning that nearly killed me and certainly left me in a tough time mentally. But it convinced me to finally leave a job I hated because I ended up suffering with two internal demons. Later things slowly got better in a new work environment.

 Maybe he didn’t want to answer a particular question.

Maybe instead of searching for ulterior or worst case scenario motives, it’s just a case of Trac thinking he was ready and ok to talk to the media but realising late in the piece that he actually isn’t. 


Am I the only one that’s not concerned about him leaving? I don’t understand the panic stations on here. 
How many times does the club need to categorically say that he’s not going anywhere?

What worst case scenario? 100% they will ask him about his future and whether he’ll be playing with Melbourne.

I hope he stays .

 

However we got two first rounders and a second for Jackson.

Why would we accept materially less for a better player if it ever came to a negotiation?

It’s clear you don’t understand someone could be going through a tough time mentally

good to hear. I went through a serious medical thing late last year. Changes your perspective for sure

Glad to hear things are improving for you

You’re not the only one

Its just the anxious fans than need to be consoled that are fretting

Every time I hear Davis speak I’m a bit blown away by how eloquent and effective he is at communicating. 

I think he would be an excellent to any footy department. I remember listening g to him in trade radio last year and being super impressed with his knowledge and how he puts it across. 
He evaluated key position stocks of every team in the league with great insights. 
I’d love him at our club in some capacity. 

Judging from the Ch7 lead in to the game they probably wanted to interview him in the Collingwood rooms.!!

I understand that, it's just bizarre you decide to go public. Announce it all over the media. Then pull out at the last minute.

He could alternatively send a message to the Melbourne supporters, via the club social media.

A bit left field but depending on his health situation he might even decide to retire.

My thoughts exactly, forget being traded it sound as if he's uncertain he can continue playing a physical sport.

He’s struggling menta

That may be the case but hasn’t stopped him posting adds on his socials.

I’m not on Insta or Twitter (I recommend it) but I assume it’s his food based stuff?

if so that’s been his release and escape from the drama

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
