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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
