I would unload on the Cats and get on the front foot.. You bast....s. You watch us develop a super talent, wait until we have a down year and then pounce. OK put up or shut up. What have you got to trade. And by the way once you can satify our demands we are gonna target one of your favorite players next year. Enough is enough. At least we can stand for something.

    And where will the Cats plan to play him. midfield. Exactly where we should have built his fitness to play.

    Yep, that's the way it works.... 

    Can’t wait to get bent over by the cats. Starting to feel like the  Neeld years again. Is Tom Gillies still around? 

    It would take a lot for me to even contemplate it. Petracca is worth more to us than Geelong would ever offer. He will reportedly play more midfield minutes next year, which I think is a good move, as he has really good agility and power in tight. Had a good year forward this year in a rubbish team.

     

    There is absolutely zero chance we would trade Trac. He's been super consistent this year and with a strong off/preseason will start to win games off his own boot. That he wants to play more midfield is a real positive as it will drive him to work hard in the offseason and have a big preseason.

    As long as what we get for the trade significantly improves us beyond retaining him.

    The only untradables are Gawn and Oliver.

    It's not about what we (the club) want, it's about what Petracca wants. People need to start opening their eyes to what's potentially happening at the club right now.

    God would you want Scott as ur coach!!

    Id rather Neeld and that’s saying something.

    People perhaps getting a little carried away here... the OP is hardly full of detail or citing sources.

    Yep, quite true in a big way, but Petracca is under contract, I’d tell cats, a top 5 and a top 12 pick minimum for him or we make him stay and honour his contract.

    His only other option then is to sit out of football for a year or play with us.

    Yep, in an old school footy world that is what would happen, but we just never see it these days. A player wants to get somewhere, they get there. I don't like it, but that's how things are it seems.

    Lord - He's a contracted player who did not grow up in Moggs creek.  I think people on here are overreacting to even think there is a possibility that Trac won't be playing for us next year.

    Brad Hill is contracted too. So was Hogan. So was May...

    Brad Hill wants to live in Vic.  Hogan did the right thing by us by staying when his dad was sick and the decision to return home was a personal one, we facilitated the trade because it was the right thibg to do. Steven May spent 8 years at a club that was about to embark on a third rebuild, he left for a fresh start. I cannot see a possible good reason for Trac to want to leave this year that would motivate the club to even entertain a trade.

    If we lose Hogan and Petracca in the space of 2 years we may as well just shut up shop. We are well and truly a feeder team.

    This is all crap. The cats may be “into him” but the chances of Petracca leaving this year are Buckley’s.

    Gawd aint that the truth !! Ok I reckon if he wants out lets see what we can get and if nothing is agreeable involve a third or even fourth party to get our most pressing need which is ............................EVERYBLOODYTHING!

    Hi Nev, so are you suggesting there is either a) specific unrest, or b) general unrest ?

    I get the sense that you are hearing things - do you have a level of concern about us losing significant talent due to internal stuff?

    Other teams have lost important talent and managed to stay competitive. The Dogs lost Ward and Griffen, two of their more valued players, and then went and won a flag.

    If we lose Petracca we lose him. We clearly still don't have the right personalities in our playing group to truly affect a meaningful change. Maybe it's actually best for us to keep moving through these guys (provided we get fair compensation) until maybe at some point we arrive at a hungry group who compete relentlessly.

    As much as we all want a flag, this club doesn't need a flag as badly as it needs a group that just has us competing consistently through games and through seasons over a number years. This would give us a stronger foundation for a viable and more enjoyable long term future.

    Not all that fussed what happens with Petracca. Reckon he's pretty fumbly under physical pressure. Plus with player attitudes being one of our biggest problems, I don't really see him as someone who will help much in that regard.

    If we replace him with a decent talent who has the right attitude then I reckon it'd be a win for us.

    When he goes Rufus, who the hell on our list can break a tackle?

     

    Kent at speed was difficult to grab.

    Petracca is currently 2nd hardest to tackle in the comp.  He will get Dusty in 2 years.

     

    We are currently the easiest team to tackle in the comp.  No speed, no momentum, 1 bull.

     

     

    Good luck without him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
