Probably because the Petracca family didn't get their boy to Collingwood.

Bizarre this has taken 5 months. The AFL are run by morons. I mean, the club doctor couldn't diagnose the injury at the ground,either could the AFL.doctor due to lack of machinery to do so. Even the hospital f*d up supposedly. Somehow in the mix the footy department without a diagnosis decided it was a good idea to send him out on the field.

I don't know. Both docs could be in trouble due to not identifying the severity of the injury. Richo could be the fall guy from the football department for this too. Bizarre it's taken months, but I'm guessing Trac and his family want some heads on sticks and are making a lot of noise about it.
Doctors do not make mistakes. They bury them.

This is the sort of mentality that some families have when entering a hospital. I understand going after hospitals when there’s absolute deliberate negligence but we’d have no doctors or nurses if every mistake was harshly punished and further the hospital system would totally be bogged down and untenable if there wasn’t push back on families who are over dramatic, entitled or think they are above hospital staff and know better

Also, I’m not saying Tracs family are over dramatic, entitled or think they know more than hospital staff. It was a general comment
 
You'll get my money when they introduce the 'McVee Spaghetti'

DO not get the 'Laurie Ravioli' though

(Okay this is stupidly fun. Someone keep it going)
 
At Clayton Oliver Garden.

I’m glad Brad green met with gutnik and has agreed to make Trac captain next year. The changes are working
 
Trac is going on camp and will miss the B&F.

Red Bull camp is apparently a thing.

Never heard of it. Bit unusual as well considering he just took 3 months leave from the club to get himself right, would’ve thought he would make himself available for one night after the amount of leave he has already been granted. Also considering his mate Gus is doing a speech.

Not setting a good precedent for the juniors.

He's got the club over a barrel now tbh. Whatever he wants he'll get. Needs to get his body right. He's a pro. From a club perspective it would have been nice to see him at the b&f and I'm sure the club would have preferred that, but I'd say whatever Trac wants Trac gets from here on.

If he was a contender for the best and fairest I am sure he would’ve been able to attend.
 
Whether you're pro-Trac or anti-Trac you have to admit that the team as a whole need to get themselves right and ready to get to work. Because our fitness was simply not up to par.
Yeah I'm not fussed by him wanting to get his body right and making that a priority. What are we celebrating at the b&f anyway? Hopefully Oliver is doing something similar
