If someone can pull up a post ..quote a statement that Trac has actually said/posted any of the comments alluded too …then basically it actually is “gossip & inuendo”. ?

😳

Then where was the criticism for playing DeGoey who was clearly injured… they got the win for Pendles 400 & DeGoey gets a 3 month injury. Or Carlton playing Curnow who has been struggling with an ankle…reinjures it again & now could miss the rest of the season.

This is the Tom Morris who was kicked out of the AFL & associated gigs for his incredibly sexist and inappropriate comments regarding women. He was rightly reviled & criticised. He gets another chance and reverts straight back to his muck raking reporting and we now have 14 odd pages on an article he wrote. If someone can post something he has got right ..then please let me know. Same for Cornes…Kozzy was gone to Port..Petty to Adelaide…I guess if they throw enough wild theories out there…they might just get lucky ..?

Gee you have to wonder how Cripps..Bont …Merrett handle what their clubs are going through. When your season doesn’t go to plan …inevitably the witch hunt begins. I am the optimistic supporter but not stupid enough to think change isn’t needed. I also refuse to deal in rumour & innuendo …I believe most of the players we want signed are resigned so will hold fire until an official statement comes out from the club saying certain players want to leave.

True.. was at the game.. I would say that even a Windsor would have got us over the line .,

I believe we had 16,000 GWS and just under 18,000 tonight. Great game…couldn’t fault our endeavour. Our supporters are renowned for coming out of the “woodwork”… if we were contenders …would have been heaps more !! End of the day ..glad I went …

I think I’d be somewhat disappointed if you ever posted something positive…always good for a laugh though

Just so embarrassing 😳. Also re Jeffo ..instructions are another 5kg but club pleased with progress. We won’t see him this year. Just another reason you have NFI !!

You choose to follow a team ..pay your membership if you can but that doesn’t guarantee you a win every week. Of course there’s genuine reasons supporters can’t attend but I bet for every 1 of those there’s probably at least 10 who are probably typing vitriol on their keyboards & ranting at coach & players rather than braving the cold/timeslot etc to attend. We had a coach who was in hospital most of the week and went back to hospital..players that are obviously not 100% (& I know not just our club) drag themselves to the game for us as supporters but there’s an awful element of “supporters” (& I use the term lightly) on this forum who seem to take more delight in a loss rather than a win. That crowd size last night was unacceptable for a club with a membership over 60,000

As he actually was/is pretty sick ..excuse me if I don’t appreciate the humour…

Apparently Goody pretty sick ?

I was at the footy a couple of weeks ago & was chatting to a few guys I see now & then at Melb games. One made a comment to me “have you ever read a forum called Demonland , it’s great for a laugh especially after a loss.” So true …the OTT comments after a loss & the vitriol against coach & certain players is downright embarrassing. I’m all for understanding the emotion during the game day thread (never read it) but when that’s died down …quite unbelievable. Now I’ve read your post ..understand completely where they were coming from …laughable/embarrassing..pick your adjective

Only just able to listen to podcast …I think the “rant” was very measured & absolutely brilliant. Nothing more to be said but ..thanks.

You obviously haven’t read articles or listened to discussions (not Binman’s) where the High Performance teams are arguably one of the most important factors. It’s not rocket science that you have to keep the performance levels of teams..players to a level that has them “cherry ripe” for finals but the challenge this year is there’s been an extra game ,,,5 day breaks ..some teams with 2 byes etc. Players would also have their own personal programs ..,goals etc. This year has had more anomalies in terms of scoring ..results..upsets that I can remember..so good luck trying to work out all that & also when “other teams “ are loading. Whether you want to acknowledge this or not football is a science ..we only see the obvious things but it’s what we don’t know & shouldn’t know.. is quite simply what goes on between those four walls.

Sour & silly comment. It was a great win missing 2 of our greatest players and a team effort executed very well. The disrespect you show our premiership coach is unbelievable. Did you actually notice last night how “tall forward lines” weren’t effective. No-one picked us ..the odds were against us and yet we won . Maybe just enjoy the win & leave the sniping out of it …

Disagree …Petty knows how to mark defensively & offensively & his marking has def improved. JVR has been capable all season of back up ruckman & it doesn’t seem to have diminished his output in any way. I’m sure the high performance team knows better than us & it’s drawing a long bow to say that Petty or JVR is at more risk of getting injured by playing in the ruck than other areas of the ground. With Petty fit..if we bought in Fullerton we would have to probably drop Turner. The game won’t be lost on our ruck selection…it will rely on all players doing the jobs they are given and those jobs will be plans that hair been put in place for the situation that has arisen …Max not playing.

Def agree with the Casey players but the Melb listed players will be playing to the clubs requirements…would have markers they must achieve each week. This is why maybe we don’t attract a better calibre of player because the Melb way comes first? Who knows …or maybe we’ve had a lot of injuries…weird playing schedules & only now have we a few more listed players available…

I’ve read many training reports bemoaning the lack of talent at Casey only to see these players come in to the senior team surrounded by senior players and they preform admirably…AMW springs to mind. No-one replaces Max but let’s see what happens ..back whoever comes in & judge after the game

In 2018 WC lost Naitanui ..,Gaff & Shepherd & went onto win a GF …it’s about the collective efforts of every player at each match. Do that & we are in every match ,

So I guess you can rattle of the names of competent ruckmen who were available?

Absolutely correct 👍🏻

🤷‍♂️🤷 🤷🏼‍♀️

OMG …I’ll say this once more …there was no defending of Clarry !! Gawn (I made no mention of Goodwin) was merely explaining a different quite unselfish role Clarry has been playing and BTW he wasn’t the only player discussed or the only player whose role will now change with Trac missing. I personally found it interesting as sometimes in the “heat” of the game you miss these things. So just an informative conversation …maybe do yourself a favour & listen rather than make your own unfounded comments!!

Maybe listen to how Gawn explains what Clarrys role has been which (as I said) will now change as Trac is out. Not sure where I stated his possession count ..fitness .. etc . was not up to scratch. It’s not too hard to listen to Gawn …very enlightening actually. A lot more enlightening than what gets thrown around here,
