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.

    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.

    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!

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
