Trac’s Pep Talk & Belief in Dees Resurgence

[Go Ds 335]

A few weeks after his injury Tracc was on Fox Footy in tears recounting how shook up he and his closest loved ones were. After that there was silence bar journos such as Tom Morris desperately trying to create drama. There was probably some truth among the BS. Maybe Tracc should at some stage made a public statement to straighten things out. Maybe like so many being accused of something that could ruin their reputation (or more) he was advised to say nothing. For whatever reason he said Nada. Right now I forgive. There's nothing gained from any Melbourne person making him play worse this year.

Hope you kept the Duffel Coat. You will need it next year. 

Sadly no.
I had an evil step mother who seemed to take joy in throwing my stuff out without telling me.

Also lost 3 full sets of Stanlans footy cards from the late 70's early 80's.
A scrap book and autograph book from the same era.
Full sets of both Star Wars and KISS cards too.
Highly annoying woman to this very day.

Re-read what Dazzle wrote. He didn’t say if we kept Farmer we would’ve won the 2016 flag. He said that if we kept Farmer, we would have “Western Bulldogs’d” a flag in the mid-2000’s. Suggest a little less time mashing the keyboard and being so quick to pot posters, and spending a little more time reading posts. 

I always felt Troy Broadbridge was the missing piece in Danihers premiership puzzle.
Spent years looking for a good CHB and when he found him we lost him.

No appropriate emoji for this. I totally agree with you.

The missing piece was a good run with injuries, same as when Balme coached us

Fair call.
All those big money guns we got salary capped for hardly got on the ground.

Maybe you are just a random supporter and don’t have the relationships with the players that GW & Katrina does. I love the  hiatus period where most supporters are looking forward to the season & excited to read anything about the team but the closer we get to the season ..threads start to take on the snide derisive comments which reminds me that my time of enjoying DL is rapidly coming to a close & then it’s never reading before a game ..or during the game & then maybe after a win. My main thing then is I  always listen to the DLand podcast. 

Deestar l feel like your using my pretty innocent post to grandstand about the behaviour of this forum more boardly. lts not my go l dont play the man or woman for kicks like some do. My point is that players rarely complain to supporters, a view that was confirmed by GW herself. We all know however many do have issues with the club at any point in time, this is at all clubs local or otherwise. The post wasn't meant to reflect on GW, Katrina or others simply my view that players are cagey about their issue. Tracc hasnt done a media interview this season that l can recall which is curious at best. We all know he would be asked about his commitment to mfc now and into the future. Whether he stays or goes l am confident he is committed while here. There is a heap of value in the training reports.we get and l don't need to over state the obvious

Will be interesting to see if he's back in full contact training today...

I think the club has been just playing it ultra cautious the last few weeks. If it was in season there is no doubt he would've already been playing, potentially even the week after it happened going by reports it was on the minor end.

He said similar when l asked him, that he would be playing if there was 4 points on the line

Mid 2000’s 2015/6 ET in case it has been altered. In  2018 if we had The Wiz still then that was our chance but not the two years ‘15/16 he has quoted. 

So your defending  DD makes you look equally as off the mark. 

DD made some comments about not understanding some of my comments which after this one is a bit rich. 

My comments on the Duke for the centre position have been constant clear of purpose and all pre season if DD can’t understand them he is showing his lack of footy knowledge. 

There is a feeling in D/L that some posters are above being challenged well I don’t differentiate and GW and DD deserve challenging when they need to be outed. So do I on occasions need to be outed but get it right.

 not just blindly attack with incorrect information.

Apologies ET mid 2000’s is 2005/6 I have made the error and own up.  Has some merit as Wiz was a special player. 
Sorry DD perhaps I typed before thinking it through.

Maybe keep that in mind when you next get your dander up about anything you reply to.

I distinctly remember the AFLPA calling for a reinvestigation late last year. Has it really taken this long to start that up?

Is it just me or is this clip not doing the rounds on Demonland already?

Thanks for sharing that might make a few people rethink exactly what was going on behind all the noise 

[P-man 13,367]

Fluff or not, I didn’t realise how much I needed to hear this. Instant pick me up heading into the season. 

And a shout out to the dedicated boots on the ground supporters who help keep the club chugging along for the rest of us. You are appreciated 👍

Great to see him on the happy side again.

 

BTW this title reads like a Demonstone quiz😆

He does have a solid golf swing. Better than Stephen May's that's for sure.

Steven May plays off 3! I’d kill to have a swing that terrible!
