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

Can’t remember, but it wasn’t food. 
 

Can’t expect people to buy “that’s his release”. He’s doing it for the money, football is his primary source of income. 
 

We can agree to disagree.

 No club will risk a trade for trac. He might never be the same player again

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.

I heard exactly that. That it wasnt so much about leaving Melbourne but whether he would or could play at all again.

If that's the case then he should keep a low profile I think. No need for media interactions, just recover mentally and physically. 

Wait until January.

yeah I think this is the best or most realistic albeit super sad conclusion 


This season can get in the [censored] bin.

Get well Tracc.  

He is a human being loved by friends and family first and foremost.

Football commodity is way down the list.

Good to see Trac in the race with the players

Was that after the game I completely missed it?

Yes he was there with the rest of the players post game to clap Ben Brown off


I really hope we haven't seen the end of the Brilliant Christian Petracca as a footballer. Get well soon Trac and can't wait to see you back on the G.

If that turned out to be true, I’d go as far as bringing in a witch doctor and doing some serious anti voo doo ceremonies. 
 

To have 2 of your top 5 players medically retire by the same club in 2 consecutive years  is just unheard of. Doesn’t happen.

Listening to the goody presser it’s very clear Tracs only commitment to the club is his contract and he has likely indicated he wants out. 
 

Assuming he 100% wants out and demands a trade to a big Melbourne club….
 

Who Says no? 
 

Dees Recieve: Houston, TDK, 11

Dees Give: Trac & 2025 F1

 

Carlton receive: Trac & 37

Carlton Give: TDK, 11, 2025 R1

 

Port Receive: melb 2025 R1 & carl 2025R1

Port Gives: Houston & 37

What a surprise. Every trade deal Sam McClure comes up with involves Carlton, because that's the team he supports.

We'd have rocks in our heads to trade Trac for Harry McKay. Curnow is another matter, but they'd have rocks in their head to trade Curnow.

We do. No need for us to pay Trac and a future 1st. That rates trac as effectively Houston and TDK, if we imagine our pick next year would be about pick 11 but possibly lower.

I see Houston’s value as a decent first round pick (8-12) and TDK as two firsts. 
Valuing Trac around 3 first round picks. 
 

TDK and Houston are two perfect fits for our list. 

We then hold a serious draft hand with 7 and 11 and still hold Sydney’s 2nd pick plus currency from ANB. 
 

We could head to the draft and do a mini refresh of the list or we could even dangle those picks for another prime mid to replace Trac. 
 

Bring in a fit Clayton Oliver next year that team would be looking very strong 
 

Trac for TDK and Carlton’s first and future 1st in a heart beat. Perfect ruck/fwd and will be one a future ruck star, better than LJ. 

I wouldn’t waste any picks  on Houston. if Trac leaves, we will have to turn over that list in a big way. Target athletic types with kicking skills. Don’t need the contested bulls anymore. Game has changed. Windsor is the perfect template. 

The only young top end talent we have is Windsor and Kozzy. JVR still a question mark. Every other young player McVee, Rivers, Howes, Kolt, AMW will be depth / role players. Will bob up and play a great game now and then, but will not be the top 4-5 you build a premiership team around.

We should have sold the farm for Reid in the draft. He won’t come to us now. 

We have 2-3 years to get this right or we will  go nowhere for the next decade.

He’ll make roughly double from non-football-related social media than he does from his football contract this year.

Without footy his nobody 

What have I missed in the last 24 hours??

Two days ago things were settling. Yesterday it was announced he would appear on ch7 pre-match (which was a completely weird way to break silence) and then he renege and now Sam Maclure is spouting cr*p about him demanding a trade… are we all just being overly-sensitive?

It doesn’t really work like that, he has runs on the board.… Kouta is running for Lord Mayor 20 years after he last kicked a footy

 

Agree with Jon Ralph.

He’s been through a lot, no doubt, but it’s not our fault he asked his manager whether he could get out and people found out.

The snowball effect of this has got large on him and it’s going to be a very long wait until 2025 season begins, whichever colours he ends up in.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
