What I simply don't understand is why Geelong? Up there with the least likely to be able to facilitate a fair trade.
If we really want him gone shouldn't we be dealing with a club that could actually make it happen.
Bizarre really.

I'm completely fed up with our club. What a debacle. If Clarry leaves we ain't contenders any time soon.
Trac will leave next year and we go thru this [censored] again
Cooneys call to get Trac out now as sickening as it is might be best with such a good talent pool this draft. Finish bottom 6 again most likely but I couldn't care less as long as we have players who want to be involved in getting some credibility back to what is an absolute laughing stock club .
What a rabble. Time to reset.

I couldn't care less about the media.
We need to sort out the mess we are in that we have created.
If we didn't leak like a sieve the media would have nothing to talk about.

Cannot fathom Clarry at another club.
If we are the ones pushing this, we are officially in rebuild mode.
Hope it's all BS but these are sad times for our club.

The “two” “two” “two” thing by Hamish to Cripps was one of the cringiest things I’ve seen. Hamish is too use to interviewing children.
Missed it thankfully ...I switched off the moment he dramatically dropped the folder with all the records Crippa broke.
I couldn't take any more

Just lazy, lazy voting by the umpires. Wont be watching the count in the future.
Not sure what's worse. The lazy voting or the questions dished out on the poor players by the hosts. It was horrifically cringeworthy

I heard his Nona gave him a recipe for Humble Pie - but Tracc doesn’t like the taste.

Jordon hasn't shown he can play a role consistently well at AFL level aside from tagger. He has shown this at the Swans too.
We don't use hard taggers every week so he leaves.
Maybe we should start doing this but I think Goodwin doesn't favour it
I personally have no angst over him doing well as a tagger with the Swans. Good on him
Goodwin used ANB on Daicos on KB to great success before he got subbed out. NFI why he didn't in last round where he did as he pleased.
Maybe he is limited to being a tagger but we underutilised Jordon and we've paid a massive price. I still recall Jordan Lewis say he reminds him of a young Simon Black when he arrived at the club
I hope him n Grundy win a flag this year but just as happy if Jesse n Toby B win one.

I have a "level of interest" in finding out where all my missing socks go to. It’s either the washing machine is a black hole or they’ve started a secret society somewhere. But that is where my interest ends.
Referred to as the sock ghost in this household!

Hawks and Giants.
Would love a Swans v Giants GF and it is on the cards I reckon.

Some predictable responses from the “nothing to see here!” types. Which is fine, you’re entitled to your opinion.
The fact of the matter, fact, is that Trac has been unhappy for a while. Well before the media got hold of it. It’s also fact that he has caused division within the ranks which will take time and effort to repair.
Has he received poor advice? Absolutely.
Has he committed to the club to see out the remainder of his contract? Nope.
Will his feedback result in changes? Seemingly so. Across the club potentially.
Will he get back to the pre injury Trac? He will do everything in his power to get back.
I love Trac and I'm glad he staying but I was equally happy for him to go if we were clear winners in a trade.
The fans will get around him. It's his teammates that concern me. He's torched his best mate Clarry but probably rightly so. They all know the ludicrous amount of money he is on compared to them and has thrown his toys out of the cot primarily because he was trying to use the poor treatment from the club as an excuse to go to a bigger club where he can build his brand.
Leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth the whole thing. Agree with him the club is a friggin mess and needed a massive shake up.
Heads still need to roll at the top for overseeing this mess that has divided the players and damaged the brand.

Is it possible that Petracca and his family don’t want to speak to her?
Wasn't it reported that Trac wanted leadership from the top?
Also reported he doesn't have issues with Goody
Maybe he's pointing the finger directly at her?
How can she not speak to him amongst this sh#tstorm?

I've lost all trust in the playing group and the coaching staff and hierarchy.
We were told pre season our actions on the field will be our response to an off season from hell.
Something deeply amiss behind the scenes. We won't be moving forward anytime soon until whatever it is that's festering away behind the scenes is resolved.
I'm not expecting finals this year after our last month. Happy to get games into kids but not all at once.
BUMP
Here is some entertaining reading after dinner.
As I feared in June.... something is deeply amiss.
Is there anyone that still thinks we are in great shape??

Definitely against any payment of his salary ! Surely there is a "non performance" clause

His ACL derailed his career. Lost his pace and manoeuvrability.
Correct. I believe at the time he got injured he was the leading one on one contested mark in the comp.
Desperately unlucky not to be a premiership player.
Good luck Tommo

Are you serious?
In what world would the MFC be paying a single cent of tracc's contract if he leaves?
In fact, if anything the dees might even be prepared to take unders in terms of what another club offers us to get his exorbitant salary of the books.
The reality is that even if tracc changes his tune and wants to stay:
- he turns 29 in January
- won't be able to put a full preseason together (he hasn't been able to do any running yet, or presumably strength work, so his fitness base must be completey eroded), which will impact his 2025 season
- has said himself he is struggling with the trauma relating to the injury
- if I was a betting man, I would offer no better than even money (ie 50 50) that tracc will ever get back to his best
- seemingly has burned bridges with his teammates (and possibly coach, and almost certainly the footy dept and board).
In short, even leaving aside the impact of him staying when he wants out, there is a very good chance we would not get value from our investment
In that context, it might be prudent for the dees to take unders.
We will then have plenty of cash, particularly with gus' salary iff rhe books, to invest in our young guns and money to attract stars from other clubs.
However the media spin this, the MFC has the whip hand here.
If the relationship is beyond repair we may not have a choice if we want him off the list .
Sickens me that we are talking about an all-time great NS medallist to be in this situation.
I love Trac but I'm more concerned about our future if he stays now.

If the rumours of his salary are correct we are in a world of hurt even if he goes. No club will take on that sort of contract without us paying some of it.
Problem is I reckon we'll be in more trouble if he stays after all the damage he's done and disharmony caused throughout the playing group, club and supporters.

What an absolute rabble of a club we are.
You just know things a cooked when Gary Lyon squirms whenever he's asked something.
I'm pretty [censored] at Petracca in all of this but never has a club unravelled quite like this.
Our sponsors must be thrilled.....this is damaging our club in so many ways.

Certainly can't remember the last time the club went through this type of experience with a current player.
Shane Woewodin perhaps? That was pretty messy and ugly.
Mitch Clark was messy, but this is staggering and incomprehensible.
Make Angus Brayshaw a coach

I hope you are right.
