Fancy Sam Mac-No-Clue lecturing about hair styles.

This has been the master plan all along: 1. Worpel to Jeelong, 2. Clarry to Jeelong in exchange for Worpel, 3. We build our next generation around Worpel.

Who came in at 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15? That tells me much more than the nine listed before Judd.

Ardu: "Honey, a bloke named Ross on the phone for you".

Just throw in a block of land in Brighton and an ambassadorial role with Rolls Royce. Fixed.

Biggest exaggerator in the world.

You're right - I only counted 22.

Turn it up. Have a look at their coach. A rap sheet longer than the Snoops. He'd be a perfect fit.

Great post @Watson11. Regarding your observation that "It’s best the club trade Tracc and get something in return that helps us peak in 4-5 years, not next year". You are right of course. I just wonder if the market is prepared to provide a player in return for trac who fits this requirement satisfactorily.

Pretty much what happened between Norf and Stephenson and Polec @sue. Your point is well made. But as @Smokey points out above, so long as a player performs again their contract obligations, there's not much a club can do. Stephenson and Polec ended up rotting in the reserves on half a million a year (conservatively). Giving Trac the benefit of the doubt, for all his character defects, I doubt this would be a likely outcome should he stay at the Deez. FWIW, for all the diabolical postings on this thread about Trac's character and behaviour, I have no doubt the breakdown is equally shared between a dysfunctional club and a highly, emotionally irregulated, player.

This . . . thanks @MurDoc516. I was initially inclined to say that I learnt SFA from the heavily staged interview. In fact I learned a lot. Totally delusion.

A small amount of cognitive dissonance here maybe?

I suspect he's managed by more than one person in his life. And that'll be the root cause of the problem.

You're at home and one with the universe here on 'Land @sue.

If we get Rachele and have to pay 250k a year for Trac to play elsewhere - we take it and run like hell. In partnership with Kosi, helps set us up for the next 10 years.

If you're Brisbane - just a couple of premierships.

What? And be like Snott? Goody had many shortcomings. But one of them was not making a complete [censored] wit of himself at every presa.

I would not want him anywhere near the place. His constant disingenuousness creates a weird cognitive dissonance. He wants to praise the winners, but at the same time undermines them. It’s a face-saving tactic: the narrative becomes “we were unlucky” instead of “we weren’t good enough.” To the outside world it just sounds like whinging. At the end of the day, Chris Scott just comes across as a very insecure control freak. He can’t admit weakness, because to him weakness equals vulnerability, and vulnerability equals loss of control. That’s why every presser after a loss has the same flavour: “Not taking anything away from the winners, but…” followed by a laundry list of factors outside Jeelong’s control. It’s his defence mechanism. If he ever just said “we weren’t good enough,” it would shatter the tightly wound self-image he’s built around control and superiority. It’s actually pretty revealing. To Jeelong supporters it sounds like leadership; to the rest of us it looks like a bloke terrified of admitting fallibility.

Absolutely. He can fill the 'role' created by the departure of . . .
