Jaded No More

Except is Waterman not out of contract? Completely different.

Absolutely he is supporting this circus.

The dogs have calmed my nerves. They are 10/10! 💙❤️

They’ll win the flag next year

Which credentials terrify you? The lawyer part?

To be fair it’s been noted here for days, but Demonland rightly doesn’t want one person targeted who is a private person not involved in the club.

Mate this site is hard enough on my mental health without the added lunatics

Should say it’s THE reason influencing his desire for a trade to a big club. If you just wanted to get out of our club, whose direction you seem to dislike so much, you would be open to be traded to any club where you could see yourself succeed and be happy. The motives cannot be clearer or more shallow. Unfortunately because this club has no brand management skills, they’ve let a player and his partner control the narrative. It is an absolute indictment on this club and its leaders, that they knew for months that Trac was unhappy, knew the dangerous “social management” path he was on, and yet let it fester and explode to the point that he has been allowed to publicly urinate on our club for weeks, all for the sake of his own brand!

Oh god the trauma!

Maxy ❤️💙👏🏼

The leader I wanted and thought Trac to be. A more lovely and humble man you won’t meet. He’s genuinely an outstanding all around person.

Everyone who was crying out to hear from her, you got your wish.

Get him back to the club!

For sure and I would think they would have forked out for a private area anyway.

Or you know, it could just be people making up absolute [censored], going to the media, and the media is lapping it up. From everything I've heard that the players are saying about Trac, "weird" is definitely not an adjective that's being used. But hey, at least nobody set anything on fire.

Nah, they will still find a way to blame us. "Josh Daicos wants out of Collingwood after Petracca told him he won't share his pasta recipe with him, Josh is deeply offended. Sources close to Josh confirmed to me in confidence that he refuses to come back to the club unless a meatball sub is offered"

By all means go, but you better be nice to Clarry. Don't need Monday's headline to read "Oliver asks for a trade. Not happy with the direction the club's supporters are heading in".

The fact that we need a transcript to work out what she was saying, speaks to how poorly she was saying it. I understand that public speaking and media is not for everyone, but it needs to be bread and butter for a president of football club. She comes across as completely unprepared, as if she didn't think they would ask her 100 questions about Trac. The role of a leader is to instil confidence. Did anyone walk away from this interview feeling confident about anything other than the fact that we have a lot of problems?

You leave Clarry alone!

These conversations have absolutely taken place, but it sounds like she was neither involved nor informed of them. Or perhaps she was, and doesn't want to speak about what was said, which if that is the case, she has no idea how to speak publicly. Very easy to say "we have had conversations around this, we apologized to Christian and anyone in his life who felt they were not looked after properly, and put measures in place to ensure it does not happen again. However I will not be divulging the rest of the conversation as I am mindful of its private nature". End. As I keep saying over and over again, it's not what you say but how you say it. This PR disaster speaks to so many people who just have no understanding of how you manage a brand!

@TomMorris leak this mate!

It's looking like the club he wants to go to, has absolutely no trade capital, as openly discussed by said club's coach on radio.

Not to derail this thread, but please tell us what we are getting in return since you are resolute that he's gone. Is it a MEGA TRADE?

So is Kosi
