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.

    • Haha 1

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
