I agree 100%

I contend that the winning record and actual percentage is a better guide. We recently lost to Port (2nd), GWS (3rd) and Brisbane (5th) by a kick. 

I think the analysis you are using is misleading. A decent win on the weekend could easily see our percentage be higher than Adelaide, Collingwood, St Kilda and Gold Coast in three days. Would that really change where we sit?

No. Because we are out of Finals contention 

Far too many games this year we switched off for 20 minutes….

The last time I watched a game, it was played over 4 quarters. Losing by a point after conceding the first 6 goals and with us having all the momentum for the next 3 quarters, it never crossed your mind that we had a realistic chance to win this? In the GWS game, when we were 6 goals up, were you saying to yourself, we are not going to win this? If true, it won't matter how we play; you will always think we will lose. That is sad.

I didn’t think we would win either of those games. 
You cannot switch off for large slabs of time

we do it regularly 

Jeeelong is a City 

The Cats are the only Team down there

they get what they want. 
 

The Ghost of Frank Costa still pulls a few strings…

Agree there the comp is woeful but they play the way as the seniors but not impressed with the coach, but it is what it is.

I haven’t seen enough Casey games to have an idea on any of that

i am just waiting for the end of Round 24

From what I watched the game plan down there is worse than the seniors, was watching Kentfield when he played the first couple of games he did more more running into the backline and running back into the forward line, he would never have done that in his short career, Dunstall, Lockett would have been dropped for not chasing their opponent, and the delivery into the forward line was woeful.

One of our problems. The VFL Comp is nowhere near good enough for training 

We need to be involved in both. 
 

We need replacements for Gus and ANB, the boys at Casey are not up to it

Fair enough.

BTW not sure if I’ve told you this already but I read your posts in a Winston Churchill voice 🤭

Then perhaps you should do what I’ve been told (in no uncertain terms) to do… don’t allude to anything, don’t hint, don’t start a guessing game etc. It took some time for me to take the advice despite the rude manner in which I was advised.

The PM you sent me didn’t contain anything I hadn’t heard before. I wasn’t convinced then, I’m not convinced now. 

That is your choice to make….I respect my Sources

Many of us heard a lot of things last year, and this year, and probably will next year, too. It’s so easy to say things have been brewing for a long time, a statement that serves no purpose other than to clandestinely stoke the fire of rumours. I’m sure things are “brewing” in every club. 

I PM’ed you information that you didn’t want to believe 

That is your choice, but i stand by my Source, and coming from a News Background if i am unable to give out information publicly then that is how it stands

Fair enough let's hope they make these changes and get back on Tracc... funny thing is the team isn't that bad if they are all on the same pages we could definitely make finals next year

Absolutely. If the right changes are made, we could still be in the window 

But they have to nail it

Just now, Rednblueriseing said:

Any details will be much appreciated?

Not able to say anything as i made it quite clear, but these last few days are not suprising to me at all. 
There MUST be major changes made this Summer, We need new voices and new ideas 

If Gus is having trouble coping with loud noises he won’t be attending any AFL functions at all

Trac has been upset with the club for a while. I think the KBD game and the days following pushed him over the edge.

His unhappiness has been an open secret for some time. 

The club and Petracca are both in no win situations now regarding public statements. Everyone involved, including his management share the blame for this ridiculous situation.

I heard a lot of things last year, but was told to keep quiet. Things have been brewing for a long time…

Care to elaborate ? I have no idea in such things and am genuinely interested of what we should have done.

Not able to elaborate on this forum

Just now, Gawndy the Great said:

I agree re that it was more than likely said said,  but to bring it into the public domain is what irks me a bit. I get that the publicity adds a touch more seriousness to it but it does come at a cost.

It has to be in the Public eye, that’s the only way to get a serious reaction. 
A lot of this stuff should have been done last Summer, but it was kept quiet. 
Now it has to be done thoroughly…

I have no doubt Tracc made the Comment to someone, because he hasn’t challenged it….

You make some fair points. My argument is though that he earlier today asked us all not post 'unsubstantiated rumours' etc. This is 35 pages of them. Not one scrap of evidence that any of this is factual. Also, to refer to 9 News as 'actual news' is laughable. It stopped being news years ago. Nothing but editorialising no more so than in sports stories. 

Do you know how a Newsroom works, have you ever worked in a Newsroom??

Tracc was “quoted” in the original story by Morris and this quote hasn’t been refuted by Tracc or his management. This means that there is some truth to it. He is [censored] off at certain elements of the Club, and either he or his management have put it out there, to stir the pot. 
And that is exactly what it has done, nothing more or nothing less. 
There is no way, even Tom Morris would put out a straight out lie. Legally he would be in Hot Water

Can’t argue with any of that. The Game style needs a big adjustment..

I think he'd play a role in the first team, even if not every week. Worst case - adds a mature-body to casey midfield which theyve been devoid of all season.

If he is superfluous to the Swans needs, what role is he going to play?

We already have experience in the Midfield 

He should look at North

I don’t think it would be a great idea. He is obviously on the outer, up North

Too old for our needs. We need young fast players who can hit the scoreboard 

All of these Rumours would have started with Player Managers, they speak to each other regularly, at this time of year, it would be daily. 
Morris would be doing the same..

Tracc is heavily contracted, so he was never going to leave, that doesn’t mean he can’t tell the Club to sharpen up 

Personally i am glad this has become public, the tough decisions at all levels will have to be made

Many of them should have been addressed last offseason 

Goodwin spoke very well this morning 

I have always worried that “Contest & Defence” has been too much of his Coaching Philosophy. Yes both aspects are very important, but attacking and our forward 50 has always been the poor cousin. 
If he can get the mix right with the right players, he will be a Senior Coach for a long time. But he has got to make that change, and i believe he needs to be a better Coach on Matchday…

But it was refreshing to hear him speak this morning 

He knows big changes are needed, we will have a lot of Cap Space this year to spend on new Faces

You're kidding yourself if you think there's a snowflakes chance in hell that Petracca, and for that matter Oliver, leaves the club. Not sure if you quite know how the media works but it's sole intention is to stir up this sort of frenzy. Clearly succeeded on this issue. I don't mind Kane Cornes but I had to laugh when he used the phrase that Christian was ' possibly disgruntled '. Effin hilarious! That is code for we've made this up with no knowledge of the facts. Media Street 2024.

Tracc has quietly put the Club on notice to get it’s s$&@ together. 
Put everything on the table 

This whole exercise is actually a good thing. 
Should have been done last year…

Brisvegas at The MCG. The spark to go in for the kill just wasn’t there….
