Very Jaded

Firstly they can't part ways with contracted players, unless said contracted player agrees. Secondly, those 3 players still don't net them the picks we want in return for Trac. Let's also not forget that Carlton are preparing for finals. They are not going to bring this up with any of their players. If they get done in week 1, perhaps they will start conversations, but what happens if they make say a prelim? They will run out of time to make those deals.

Who would the other prima donna be?

You're kidding yourself if you think getting rid of Cerra clears enough space for Carlton to take on his contract. The reality is that very few top clubs have a spare $1.2 million lying around in the hope that one day Trac will have a breakdown and want out. Trades, even for middle tier players, are often planned out week, months, sometimes years in advance. You think Freo only talked to Jackson in October? You think the WA clubs have not been made aware that Shai Bolton wants out months if not 12 months ago? Hell we've been talking about Houston for a couple of months. Clubs would have been totally blind sighted by this, and clearly so has Trac's actual management team. To find a suitable trade to a club like Carlton or the Pies, or not only have the draft capital, but also don't have the cap space, is highly unlikely. Both these clubs would have to move a significant number of players, or a big name player, to even fit Trac in their TPP. It's a total pipe dream, unless one of those clubs is willing to burn their own contracted players.

You obviously don’t understand how mental health works. You cannot stop it before it gets out of hand. As for the other issue, you expect the club to know what each player is doing 24 hours pre game? Set up spy cameras perhaps? Entirely naive if you think this is a Melbourne specific problem. He just was stupid enough to get caught. But this happens in every single club around the country. Willie Rioli says hi. As does Stengel. And the list goes on and on. I will say no more as I don’t want to get this site in trouble. But do your research.

Nobody wants to be teammates with a self serving snitch I said it once and I’ll say it again, delusions of grandeur.

But he’s not the only player who would do due diligence before re committing to the club.

Me too. I’ve had enough of the AFL.

Please appeal and GET A BETTER LAWYER

Glad we went first. I’m too old to pull an all nighter.

Does Adrian understand that he can raise a rebuttal?

I am starting to think that his delusions of grandeur are going to get him into a lot of trouble.

Yep, which is why we are stuffed

Needs to be prepared to watch HIS world burn. Nobody is bigger than a club, let alone a whole league. Not to mention that nobody wants a problematic diva on their list.

Bumping is not illegal in AFL. Yet. Bumping the head is. He’s within his rights to try and bump Moore side on in an effort to win the ball. We see this happen dozens of times a game. What we don’t see is a player dropping like a sack of [censored] for no apparent reason.

Nor do they have any interest in the integrity of their contracts being brought into question. Nor the integrity of their medical team who signed off on our management of his injury. Trac might think his brand matters, but the AFL does not suffer fools who try to damage their brand.

At this point I swear he’s an undercover agent for the MRO.

Adrian better not be handling Trac’s affairs too, or we are screwed.

I agree, but it should go both ways. The heads of whoever is leading this idiotic nonsense from Trac should roll too. This is not how you manage your business as a professional who is 2 years into a 7 year multi million dollar deal, that nobody held a gun to your head to sign. Whatever his grievances are, they have now become a side show in this circus he’s created. If he wants the club to get busy resolving problems, he’s making it much more difficult by occupying their time dealing with his public meltdown instead.

A slippery slope for the AFLPA who would have multiple unhappy players all wanting to find excuses to leave. Any club is going to have their issues. Also can’t see how going more nuclear than he has already is going to serve his all important brand. If it’s goes down like that, I’m sure the club will burn his back the other way, saying he’s being uncooperative in their efforts to trade him as he’s not open to being traded to any club.

This is why he’s pivoted away from football. The devil works hard, but his management works harder. People are severely underestimating how much money Trac is making outside of football for everyone in his inner circle. Some of his current brand deals would be worth in the hundreds of thousands. He’s not working with some chicken shop down the road. He’s working with big brands. Global brands.

He’s not wrong. Nick Daicos having done 0 social media work has a quarter of a million followers. Trac has just shy of half a million across two platforms that he’s got someone else managing for him full time. The reality is that if he went to a club like the Pies, he would get to that magic 1,000,000 mark and will be making as much from his socials and sponsorships as he would from football. This is end game. However this is not the NBA. You don’t get to walk out on a 5 year contract just because you want to.

Not sure where the Brisbane thing came from. I reckon some journalist was like Noosa? Noosa is in QLD. Brisbane are in QLD. I do math good.
