Something he's very entitled to do, but this isn't the way to do it. the speculation will now continue until Trac is traded, or trade week ends if he doesn't speak, and personally, i suspect that's what he wants.  

 

You cannot say it’s right or wrong, because we are not privvy to what is going on internally.
Tracc may have been speaking to people about it for months, i certainly heard about it 12 months ago, not specific details, but i was made aware that all was not good. 
This story will be fish and chip wrapper very soon, no damage was done. It gave cheap journos a few days work

    You don't consider around the clock negative media representation that would almost certainly have negatively impacted the list management departments ability do attract players as a direct result of Christians decision to remain silent damage? I think you're giving him an out he doesn't deserve, he's a big boy, he's been through a lot but he has a team of professionals representing him and an element of this that you might not want to admit exists, is undoubtedly calculated, for what purpose? i don't know with certainty.

    I don’t think it will change anything. Players have been signed up, there is no mass exodus 

    The Club needs to make changes, which i believe are happening right now 

    If the right money is offered I don’t believe players will not come to the MFC

    Morris is the only one who should be concerned, his sources have fed him BS

     As i said last week, he has basically told the Club to get its act together, which I think is a positive 

    i don't believe this.   i think this is a gross distortion.

    yes he was disappointed with season. max, jack and lever have both said the same thing, but no-one is saying they have told the club to "get its act together"

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
