Congrats Jesse. The one ex player I'm happy to see succeed.

Amen, completely cooked.

When Kevin Keegan's career took off at Liverpool in the 70s he started getting a heap of sponsorship deals and was establishing himself as one of the sport's first marketable superstars. Liverpool manager would always quietly say to him: "Just remember son, there's only one contract that matters. Your football contract" Times have changed but the principle is the same and what Bill was saying that it's great that you're doing well off the field but don't forget why this is happening. It'd because you play football and do it well. CP's brand is nothing without what the club has given him. He wouldn't even have half as many likes on Instagram if it weren't for what we have provided for him. I hope he hasn't forgotten this.

I'd almost have more respect if he was wanting to go somewhere like there for a new challenge and to help them play finals and eventually win a flag ala Ablett.

Haha, nice work Gorg!

Maybe the Jerry Springer show will

One more year. If nothing happens he can Gary Moorcroft out of here.

Who could be more of a perfect role model for going there to chase the big crowds and limelight? Like Grundy last year I wouldn't be surprised if he told him to "Get out of there"

Unrelated but he can get stuffed.

What's a few picks between friends! 🤪

I'm actually genuinely starting to think he should just retire.

Can we just throw AI in the bin? I thought we wanted job creation not job loss.

I wasn't around to see it Bush Demon but there is one thing you can excuse RDB for in this scenario. While it was a big money deal, Ron ultimately wanted to coach. He didn't know when Norm was going to give it away and the time seemed right for him. With CP there really isn't anything. He's got a nice juicy contract, he's had success, he seemingly wants to play for Victorian rival and be hated and may not get another shot at a flag anyway. The only thing that we're hearing is it's for his brand.

Faaark

Damn, didn't think about ability to write 😆

Has anyone even bothered to consider the possibility that Trac has laryngitis? That was why he pulled out of the 7 interview and can't talk right now. The sign language in the exit interview got misunderstood by the club and who he was leaking to.

As if this is still happening.

All the best for the future Josh.

David King said something yesterday as well along the lines of: "Simon Goodwin, Max Gawn and Jack Viney are the only people I trust at that club right now, everything else is waffle"

It's funny how things change. I think the main question to come out of this for us, for opposition fans hoping to get him, for the footy world is exactly how invested is the guy in winning premierships and being part of a successful team. - Does MFC want someone who has tasted success but wants to bail when the going gets tough and wants to further their own interests? - Does a potential suitor like Collingwood or Carlton going for a flag believe someone like this is all in on that philosophy? - Do the media think that someone who acts like this is the kind of guy a club should chase to put them over into the premiership frame? If it's all about clickbait and big time transfers then cool, but if you're in the business of winning things then this story doesn't belong in that section of the paper.

This is it. It will come down to one thing, do you want out or not? If you want out then despite your long term deal we may be able to facilitate this and come back to your agent with potential suitors. If this is the players way of loopholing their way out of long term deals then we need to stand firm and say this is how it is.

If he goes there will be trouble, if he stays there will be double..

You're one of the few who can see straight on this BDA. A week ago his story carried little weight on here.

Honest question: If he did in fact request a trade, with the season over would the club have announced this straight away to get ahead of the media noise? Looking at the Jackson saga from memory this was done publicly a few days after the straight sets exit. Something really stinks.

Haha, aint that a fact!
