Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

He's so clueless.

Next he'll be providing drink cards to get everyone back to the clubs.

Better still, He could get John Nichols to manage the finances. I hear he is good at managing other peoples money.

 

[JLC]

They’re a useless mob. Still hate them for ruining this week and next!

Imo WCE ruined - losing to Carlton by that much at home is a nonsense.

You initially said he'd expressed his clear desire to play elsewhere &

Let me rephrase that …

“Neither he or his manager have made a modicum of effort to quash the rampant rumours played out right across the media landscape of him wanting to go elsewhere.”

I take that to mean that he has a “clear desire to play elsewhere” …

… but fair enough, others might take it to mean that he and his manager and parties around them are presently living in a cave blissfully unaware of the circus.

somehow him speaking about his social media content is related to him wanting out of MFC?

I didn’t make that link (others have).

I was merely citing his preoccupation with his brand that raises red flags with me. Others might find it progressive, refreshing, new age.

When I asked where he'd said this publicly, you referenced Howie's podcast..

Yep, I did. I found his interest in his brand which he talked to on Howie’s podcast a bit of a red flag.

He's unhappy with how things have played out, clearly.

He has interests outside of football.

And he's keeping his discussions regarding his future at the club between himself, his manager & club...not broadcasting it to the media.

Free coffee might do it too borrow Kouta's coffee cart.

Should be giving out free Souvlakis.

I wouldn’t go anywhere near him after hearing what he said on that podcast. I’m 100% editorialising. 100% vibe. Nothing to do with his specific verbatim quote about his time living with Kosi Pickett. Or any other specific quote. Others listening to it might come to a different conclusion. Or the same conclusion.

On a scale of “Dayne Beams trade #1” to “Dayne Beams trade #2”, IMO this’ll be more like the latter for whichever club ends up with him.

Never heard anything about Trac being difficult until he wanted to be traded out of a club that could've killed him...

LOL, not even close!

One I found particularly funny & strangely, possibly accurate ..

"If that was Nathan Buckley in hospital, Eddie would have been holding his bed pan"

You hit the nail on the head. His and the families biggest gripe is that after he was taken to hospital they didn't see or hear from anyone at the club. That would be poor from the club in any instance but when he is arguably their best player its downright bizarre

Remind me never to talk to you about my brand.

Even hearing that some players were upset & angry when he & Bella went to Noosa as part of his recovery. Dees players have admitted as much.

Why would you begrudge one of your team mates wanting some time to recover in the sun, in another state away from football after his experience?

No wonder he's felt let down by the club & not fully supported.

If true, how monumentally pathetic that "team mates"? would begrudge him and his partner recovery time away from the Melbourne winter when he was zero chance of playing again this year anyway.

Another FMD from that disgraceful rabble.

Trac is a champ. He will play another 150 games- great person. Take him in a heartbeat

I’m surprised at your views on folks having a brand. It’s pretty common these days.

Assuming you want to get rid of our captain?

 

[76woodenspooners]

I love your brand JMac

It’s not specifically about Trac’s brand, or interest in his brand.

Everybody needs a hobby, and nobody more so than footy players. For Cody Weightman it’s his art. For others it’s their Uni studies. For Trac it’s his social media and branding.

But for all of them, at this stage of their lives they are professional footy players first and foremost. And their extra curricular activities are exactly that - extra curricular activities.

I just got the impression from the interview that for Trac his social media and branding had a bit more important to him than I thought was appropriate. Others may have a different opinion, and that’s cool.

I think you’ve got this one wrong 76.
All young people have a brand these days, it’s how social media works.

Us dinosaurs that were born before the internet existed need to get up to speed on how things work now.
It's a different world.
My 10 year old has his own YouTube channel.

You could have said the same about Dayne Beams when he came back to Collingwood? (Same age as Trac now) People at the club clearly thought so given what we paid for him. It was an unmitigated disaster.

And you could have said the same about Dangerfield when he went to Geelong - and that one worked out OK.

Who knows whether it’ll work out or not? My guess is Trac won’t work out. If he ends up at Collingwood I really hope I’m wrong.
