So my sister just texted me to say the Facebook pages are saying Petracca and Salem have asked to be traded. Am I a bit slow on the uptake here?

Which Facebook group?

Just looked at a few (mostly garbage ones) and saw nothing.

Aren't they all garbage? 

And waiting for more confirmation. Have asked her again where exactly she heard it.

If 17 post season surgeries doesn’t hinder your preseason, half the team requesting trades might.

We couldn’t even have one day to digest this crapola of a season before trade talk fired up.

It seems a bit of a stretch.  Salem re-signs in March, then without any rumour at all, seeks a trade in Day 1 of the off-season. https://www.triplem.com.au/story/christian-salem-signs-two-year-contract-extension-with-melbourne-130712 .  

Salem said he couldn't see himself not re-signing with Melbourne.

“It got done pretty quickly,” he told Melbourne Media.

“I probably wasn’t too fussed about it, as I knew it was going to happen eventually – it was just a matter of when.

 

I can't recall a big trade coming without months of rumour leading into it...

Agreed. I initially said the same thing about Petracca who said he loved the club earlier this season. Something has to go drastically wrong for you to request a trade 23 weeks later.

Slow on the uptake that the Facebook pages are 99% crap? 

Then yes. 

Trac is our Stokes.

We should make sure he knows the glory will be greater with us.

He played one hell of a test match.

Isn’t it prohibited for clubs to approach opposition players during the season? 

 

Officially yes, however the league lets you do pretty much whatever you want to a degree. It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Haha fair call when I read back what I wrote.

Difference is I don't come here later and say 'I knew that but couldn't tell you', after things happen.

My SISTER just TEXTED me to say the FACEBOOK PAGES ARE SAYING Petracca and Salem have ASKED TO BE TRADED.

Everyone have a think about that chain of information.

It’s almost as good as ‘someone told me they heard on radio’. 

Definition of Chinese whispers anyone...

Stuie’s Facebook page..! Bahahaha.

Can we have a rule that rumours from Facebook can’t be forwarded to Demonland? Let’s not lower ourselves to the standards of Facebookers. I don’t have or read Facebook or Twitter for the reason of them being absolute rubbish.

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

Oh Really, who would you rather play with at the moment a Team who consistently plays finals or us "Flash in the Paners"??


Is meeting with Collingwood as well apparently. Not sure if it is him personally, or just his management.

Not saying he's gone of course, but it seems like it's more than just the usual manager posturing.

Rumour of course, so you're welcome to believe or not.

Edited by Lord Nev
Edit - Apologies, the meeting is happening this week, so post edited.

Another team will turn Petracca into a star.

I would cry myself to sleep if I was a top 10 pick drafted by the Dees and I grew up dreaming about playing for the Dees.

I like the suggestion. 

How about #ETthetradewhisperer?

You're on Tier 0 with the club.  In fact I'd trust you more than the club to be honest.

For those who are Petracca fans the good news is that I haven’t heard any whispers of him requesting a trade, and if he had, I would know. #ETthetradewhisperer #Hehearseverything.

Still more reliable than Stuie’s Facebook page.

Trac wont go, but like lots of things, we have 1 year to sure everything up, the mass exodus may not be this year, but it will be next year if we are still a  basketcase.

 

 

This was some rubbish rumor posted by some Nuff named Stu on his Melbourne News page. It's complete BS!

Thanks ET

I am in the camp that I will keep my powder dry until there is an official word.

I personally don't want to lose Trac, I think he has shown some glimpses of a great talent (just needs to put together a season).

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
