Petracca on the Move?

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

BACK to Petracca, I’d be furious if we let him got for a lousy 2nd round pick in a weak draft. He has talent. We need to harness it. If he goes , I want a ready made player in return. Certainly nothing tied in with Langdon. Track will finish top5 in our bnf and is contracted

Not going to happen

We have a track record of being bent over though

It's not about what we (the club) want, it's about what Petracca wants. People need to start opening their eyes to what's potentially happening at the club right now.

Just for the record, Geelong refused to trade Kelly last year because he was contracted and couldn't get the trade value they wanted.

Click on his moniker to go to his profile page and then click on 'see their activity' on the right side of the page and the story will unfold.

Ok I did that, and I guess the premise Leoncelli 36 presents is plausible. I have no insight to his rating within the club for his captaincy, but do with his public persona. He is uninspiring and of limited intellectual capacity; embarrassing. I can only imagine what the likes of Tom McDonald think

Yeah for sure, but what's happening this year now?...

And thats with go home factor. Josh Mahoney would laugh in CP5's managers face if he said that Patty has offered to take CP5 fishing in Moggs Creek and while he's nether been there it sounds pretty cool.

I have no contacts connected to the club but I appreciate the comments from posters who do. 

It is up to each of us if we believe them or not and time will tell if they are right. 

Imo where there’s smoke there is fire. 

Is there smoke though..? 

Christian Petracca supposedly met, in person, with the Geelong staff and players, in August... and nothing leaked in the media at all..?  Not even a twitter post from a shady journo. 

When Boak met with them (the comparison made in the OP), it was proclaimed left right and center all over the media.

Agree it is rare for a club to not give in to a player.  Geelong/Kelly was an example of the exception. 

Sure their refusal was only good for a year so the end result is the same.

Yeah, there's still the odd occasion a contracted player stays. The Kelly one didn't really feel like they held him against his well and it was ugly or anything though. Not like the McCarthy one. Just seems like players (and their agents) have all the power now.

It's BS.  

No doubt Trac met with the club, and I see no problem with that, but the bloke aint going anywhere.

Seeing as club will be parting ways with Brayshaw and Hunt, I would imagine they would be working extremely hard to keep other young stars happy.

People perhaps getting a little carried away here... the OP is hardly full of detail or citing sources.

Can't believe it took 38 responses for this

To be honest, I don't ask if they're breaking confidence by telling me things. I don't post everything I hear though and sometimes I'm asked to not pass particular things on and I don't.

I understand you not believing me. I have no problem with that as I would be exactly the same. We'll just go round in circles though with this. Just decide you don't believe me and I'll be ok with that.

Are you Saty 2.0?

Bold predictions or one too many raspberry cordials, praha?

why not both?

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?

OMG I hope the club sorts this crap out!!!

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,562]

Both are contracted so I'd be saying no trade.

I'd be very surprised if they were both asking to be traded.

 

[Adam The God 30,539]

We've got a year to sort ourselves out.

So if JV remains in a Captaincy role next year, we are going to have a fully fractured playing group next year.

Will the Club be strong enough to make the big moves....?
