On his interview on AFL.com trac claimed he went to Suns for their "culture"... (hopefully his taking the famous melbourne 2024/2025 culture with him)

Wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the Suns.

Someone posted he requested this from the club and we said no, which is why he was seeking a trade

I call bs on that poster! People can post anything they like but it does not make it fact.

An agent probably does get a % of commercial contracts they negotiate for a player but the club does not. The club would get money or kind from its official sponsors and allow players to appear in those ads/events but not from other player commercial work.

AFL rules about players accepting payment from sponsors or appearances eg Caulfied Cup is very clear: if they wear club gear ie officially represent the club it is in the sal cap, If in civvies it is outside the cap.

The reason stated in the post for him requesting a trade is also bs. At the start of the year Trac withdrew from all footy commercial arrangements including AFL 360 (and I think Cash Converters).

We definitely need a 'Fact Check' thread. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think I'll just thank Petracca for the premiership

Yes I did thank Trac on multiple occasions, in and out of Demonland! But bobblehead Trac is gone, replaced by bobblehead Kossie, a superior and more loyal Bobblehead!

I’m not sure if you’re complimenting Kolt or bagging him. I hope it’s the former but I fear it’s the latter

He needs support with focusing on the important little things.

This year was always a reset year. Tracs brand was on the nose a little and he also needed to focus on a successful return to footy

He was never going to do 360 and answer questions re his commitment each week

Re cash converters, was a poor choice to align with to start with

imo things will get going again as he, his bus mgr Bella and his relatively new commercially savvy agents look to expand his brand to new audiences.
