Not how it works mate. Clubs work a fair way out with their key targets, they don't just randomly pop up in trade week and go 'oh hey we wanna trade for Petracca...'

Wonder if bottoming out was in their their player acquisition strategy. It must have been ! They know what they’re doing !

    Outstanding game of footy by Petracca yesterday and clearly one of the best of his career. Looked "on" from the first minute.

    Listening to him in the Ch 7 post game interview, and I know words aren't everything, but that appeared to be a player that is heavily invested in his footy club and won't be going anywhere else anytime soon.

    the whole group look happy and engaged - amazing the therapeutic value of a few wins. Long may it continue.

    Great call Chook, i went to the footy, noticed how engaged they are with each other, but it was my wife and 14 year old daughter who said out of the blue when i got home and we dissected the game that the "Demon players actually look like mates and that they like each other.."

     

    It shows and that's a really good sign.

    The more we win, the happier the players are, the tighter the group becomes, the less chance they'll want to leave. 

    Pretty simple really. 

    Trac is keen for his pay day, but the only reason he and any of our other stars will want to leave is because they see team success elsewhere. 

    This year was and is so important for that reason alone. Couldn't ask for a better start. 

    Next 4 week block is super important without May and with the hopeful inclusions of BB and Weed. 

    Two wins and two losses is my prediction and that's okay. 

    Let's keep rolling.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
