I won’t believe this news until @Ghostwriter confirms it with Judd.

Which Assistants remain now? Chaplin & Jones?

I don't mind this at all. Can take a grab and kick a goal. My only concern would be his age but Gunston has shown that age is only a number.

Exactly. It is very shameful. An Ex-poster on this site WCW also turned on Trac last year. Shameful really.

In addition to the above we might be the one leaking the info about the other candidates blowing our socks off in case we can't satisfy Bucks. We really need to sell these untried "highly rated" assistants if the out and out front runner does a runner.

Was there last night as I have been for the last 10 or 12. Was the lowest attendance in a long time. Danger signs for the club if they can't turn the low membership and poor performances around.

This story had to have been a set up either by the management or power brokers at the club. With all their eggs now in a couple of baskets good luck trying to keep any players next year Saints.

Thanks Charlie. Will always be a part of the history of this club.

You have to assume that the job is Bucks if he wants it and the only reason he won't want it is because he can't bring in his own team whether that be assistants or high performance or both. Given that we don't seem to have much wiggle room in terms of assistants (assume Chaplin, Bassett & Jones are staying and we haven't heard of Selwyn and team getting the boot) I'm wondering if that might be the sticking point and Bucks bows out because of that.

Ironically you have been the most hostile person in this thread and that includes Ollie Fan's attack on passionate Demon fans who dared to have an opinion that differed from his own.

People are entitled to their opinions, positive or negative. That includes being critical of players, coaches, and the club. If you're satisfied with our win-loss record over the past 24 games, then you're ignoring the real issues and that makes you part of the problem. Blaming posters on a supporter forum is pointless. They don’t hold any real power. It seems like your frustration is actually directed at the club’s power brokers, but you don’t want to be seen as critical of them lest you look like a hypocrite for lecturing people about being mean to the coach and then being livid at the club for acting in the best interest of the supporters and club as a whole. I’m genuinely grateful to Simon. He transformed us into a highly competitive team and gave us four to five strong seasons during his tenure. But the last two years marked a decline. While it’s sad to part ways with the coach who delivered us a drought-breaking premiership, it was time. I’m glad the club recognised the need to act decisively. Locking in a new coach early so we can approach the trade period and pre-season with clarity and purpose. Thank you, Simon. You’ll always be remembered for what you achieved.

How good was that start to the third quarter? Within moments, we saw the kind of explosive, direct football that makes us so dangerous when we’re at our best. Twice in quick succession, we surged out of the centre with real intent, slicing through the Giants’ midfield pressure and turning clearance wins into scoreboard impact almost instantly. First, there was the electric dash from Caleb Windsor off half-back, his speed and confidence to take the game on were outstanding. Watching a young player back himself and break lines like that was a real highlight. Then, moments later, it was the midfield brute force of Christian Petracca, who don't argued his way out of the middle and fed the ball to a charging Tom Sparrow, who made no mistake. Two quick goals, pure burst football, and suddenly the momentum was all ours. This is exactly the kind of centre clearance dominance we need to see more often. When we win the ball at speed and surge forward with clean hands and aggressive running, we look almost unstoppable. The challenge, of course, is maintaining that level of intensity and execution consistently across four quarters. So, what do we need to do to ensure this brand of football becomes the norm rather than just a glimpse?

Another season and another mauling by the umpires. Welcome back fellas.

Take a look at this hero, parading around doing a victory, as if the whole messy situation hasn’t laid bare some serious, underlying issues at the club—issues we’ve been painfully aware of for quite some time. If you truly believe that journalists like Morris, McClure, and their cohorts weren’t onto something, you’re fooling yourself. Sure, they have a tendency to sensationalize, mixing truths, half-truths, and a bit of rumor, but if you think there’s nothing to this story, you’re burying your head in the sand. Had Collingwood or Carlton possessed the draft capital, he’d be gone. And to be honest, I couldn’t have blamed him for jumping ship from this sinking Titanic. I’d be angry, [censored] off, and deeply saddened, but at least I’d understand. The notion that there was never any substance to this story is laughable, especially when Trac could have shut it all down on Day 2. Yet here we are, 19 days later, with silence still hanging in the air. Ask yourself why it wasn't shut down? And don't just claim that there was nothing to the reports. Stop acting like you’re the second coming. Our club has a lot of work to do if we’re going to keep Trac and the rest of the team content. If we don’t make significant changes, we’ll be staring down the barrel of a disaster this time next year.

This is exactly what will end up happening. We are spineless at the trade table.

Dying to hear your glowing review of Roffey's interview. I need a good laugh after the last few days of doom and gloom at the MFC.

This club needs an external review from top to bottom. We are a laughing stock.

Kozzy and Trac are two of our Top 3 marketable stars. The damage of the season will be immeasurable. Head have to roll. Supporters need to demand action. Our club is dying

lol. It’s an email account with the ability to send unwanted emails directly to the Spam Folder or Trash.

This [censored] club

Since then the club has imploded and we've heard nada you liniment sniffer.

Do they even have internet in Perth. Might be hard to post to instagram in WA

If Trac wants out and wants to go to a bigger club then send him to North for the Picks and LDU and let them deal with his diva demands for a bigger club.

Congratulations Freo on earning my most hated team this season. Embarrassed us once, then beat us again and then couldn't get the job done to end Carlton's season.
