Agree totally, if a player wants out then the contract should be void and negotiate with the new club $$ .. we should not have to pay any part of the contract.. very disappointing if he does want out though as he should part of the solution going fwd not jump ship, hopefully King will galvanise the group

Disagree… players need to suck it up, sign a long term contract you see it through

Not saying trac wants out but fed up with players in the AFL signing long term contracts and then when things are not 100% etc they want to move clubs & expect the same $$$ contract to continue! The AFL & PA have to stop this BS or just have max 3 year contracts, can’t have security & flexibility, suck it up you signed a long contract own it!

Guerra said they wanted to respect Cats playing in the prelim this week, but if Buckley was the one they would have waited

Guerra sounded great & answered the questions from Caro and didn’t fall into the Buckley agenda and purely on King snd how they respect the Cats prelim next week..

Let’s respect the process no guarantees but the coaching selection panel that recommended King comprised of Melbourne president Brad Green, chief executive Paul Guerra, director Steven Smith, football manager Alan Richardson, former Essendon captain Jobe Watson, Melbourne Storm football director Frank Ponissi and human resources executive Meahan Callaghan.

I’m sure if Buckley was the one they wanted they would have waited until next week! All premiership coaches started as 1st time untried senior coaches , go Kingy!

Still baffled by ur response,

Hawks may give cats a few issues , but can see pies getting thru with no Neil,

How does a 34 yo Gunston kick 5 in a final …

He will always be a Demon premiership player & instrumental , losing him & Brayshaw hurt us Yeah crows wheels fell off, it’s different ball game finals

Could be 3 x straight sets exits for ANB

Not sure what ur point is?

Congrats on king .. he’s experienced is evident no question, hope he’s supported and for the life of all supporters can the board bring stability with new president & ceo no more infighting .. support the footy dept , nail the home base, no more leaks, no more corny love themes etc actions should do the talking! On Buckley if he wanted the job 100% he’d put his hand up & id say he’s questioning the off field stuff which as first time coach you accept

Every premiership coach started as a 1st time coach, has learnt from the best Scott & would know great culture & standards, interest to see which assistants he brings or keeps

Haven’t see any decent talent request a trade or a free agent since winning the flag besides Grundy which was a failure & the question is why is it players just don’t want to come to our club or we don’t have cap space, or list mgt is failing? Fed up seeing VFL players traded in to play at Casey

PA are to blame as they want players to be able to move whilst in contract and still retain the same $$ which is BS, so their managers are saying sign a long term deal and if you want to move you can, the AFL should fix this by having 3 year max contracts.

Whoever the coach is they will to galvanise the playing group & get the culture right, still think there are divisions & fractures

Hanging on every word Trac says .. he’s response was s as n attempt to be funny, no doubt what he’s gone through plus the culture player issues & now the coach sacked all players will be feeling anxious on the future, whoever gets the coaching role will need to galvanise the group again

Thank god for the Bombers drama with players jumping ship as it takes the focus off from our club issues

So why wasn’t he’s delisting included in the 5 the club announced on the website are we that hopeless??

Any chance of any player wanting to come to us, I’m yet to hear of a decent player nominate us as a free agent or to be traded, very concerning and it’s been like this since winning the flag, we’re great at recruiting vfl players who we delist Still no update on MFC website on Billing’s Club in great shape

Honestly how our club finds new ways of poor communication around delisting of Billing is a joke! How can you release delistings and not include Billing, the website still shows 5, so unprofessional!

I know it’s been mentioned but the delisting of Billings & how it wasn’t announced with the others during the day, how & why this occurred looks unprofessional

Team won 7 games … plenty of others played worse
