There’s plenty of options, just unlikely the options he wants. Let’s see if he goes to the next rung.

Tracs telling the leadership his problems are with the players and the players it is with leadership is pretty weak to be honest.
Sounds like too many party boys, not getting fit enough or being professional enough and leaders are letting too much slide.
As a superstar of the comp, highly respected and senior leader of the team he should be addressing these issues and helping confront them headon. Otherwise it's pretty hypocritical.

How do you know he hasn't tried to address things and it's fallen on deaf ears and that's part of the problem?
You truely believe all 42 players, all coaches, all support staff have refused to listen to him?

I believe he could have made some suggestions, or at least voiced his concerns in a one on one convo with Goody or a member of leadership and nothing came of it. Don't think he's the type to stand in front of the group and call out individuals.

Why would it matter if the runner, the emo stats guy or Spargo listened?
Only Gawn, Viney, Oliver, May, Goodwin, Richo, Roffey and Pert really count.

Nuffy. The Sixers nearly killed Simmons twice did they?

You don't even understand what this means.
Well if he voiced to Spargo, wouldn’t Spargo also be onboard and asking for a trade if it resonated with him?

Does he strike you as being good at that?
I’m inclined to think Nathan Buckley was on the money.
Your a nuffy if you are blaming the club for almost killing him.
Firstly it was Darcy Moore who kneed him
Secondly the medicos did due diligence and it was signed off by the AFL
Thirdly Trac himself physically decided to go back on the field and walked back on himself.
Club does a lot of dumb shit but this is one hot take.

Didn't half this board think Trac would make a good captain 10 weeks ago?

Please someone just fold the club already.

At the end of the day the club and it's nuff supporters like cndee deserve this for not dealing with Oliver last year. Instead of trading out a bloke who gave us nothing for the year well lose our best player and most professional instead.

I was in that camp. This has thrown me a bit.Didn't half this board think Trac would make a good captain 10 weeks ago?
Seemed considered & professional at least.
Me also.

You can't be a people pleaser and a captain like I said.

Which is fine, he never needed to be captain. I don't think keeping him happy was ever that difficult and it shows the incompetence of the club that he isn't

Listen to the vid of Schwarz that I posted, both he and Scott Cummings (ie: ex players) said the player needs to be protected from himself and the club failed him.

He's flip-flopped on that. Also said Oliver was inspiring him with his efforts to get back into the side.
Still think Trac's head is all over the place and he's looking for any excuse at the moment. Don't think his mind is in a good place at all.

Not if Spargo is part of the problem. Or didn't agree with him. Or did, but thought the club could change. Or did, but was comfortable to ride it out.
Plenty of ways Trac's conversations could have played out.
