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.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
