If we have another bad season next year and underperform, i think there is a live possibility Petracca and Oliver both request trades. that's how important 2021 is for the MFC. i hope they're making the right call backing Goodwin in.

Seems logical, I'd believe that 100%

They are the only club that can pull it off.

Makes Jason Taylor's life easy. Won't have to do much research when you can select the entire first round in a draft year.

Come on ben, best player in the comp?

Arguably. 

Wouldn’t surprise me if he brings home Charlie in 2021.


Lazy Journalism - MFC have a gun - therefore he will be poached

Insecure MFC supporter - we have a gun player therefore he will leave

Have confidence folks! Lets hold our sht together and have a massive season next year. None of our good players have looked to leave recently, Gawn, Viney, Gus etc. in fact we have attracted players like May who want to come to us

Go Demons

Doesn't help when like so many on here who suffer MFCSS and the sky is always falling listen to BS rumors put on here by posters who claim to have sources telling them stuff.

Yet when you actually check the timing of their posts with BF posts and media stories, that is obviously their source

Wasn't looking at a player comparison,  was just talking talent wise.  Of course LJ isnt a natural forward like those other 3 guys.

LJ blows Grundy out of the water on talent and ability.  Grundy is the most overrated player in the comp imho.. doesn't have any matchwinning ability or X factor. In fact hes bloody boring, unlike LJ who will have people paying to come watch him.

seriously stfu. grundy is a multiple AA. So when will LJ be multiple AA? 3 years? 5? never? 

Yes Luke Jackson looks good but Grundy has already reached the top. Jackson isnt even a number 1 ruck! and wont be for several more years.

I’m assuming this is purely a rumour because it would be very disappointing if true. As good as Petracca’s 2020 season was  (and yes he’s only going to get better) he was every bit a classic under performer up until then.

The Sounding Board today Hutchy and Barrett seemed confident Collingwood made their salary dump because they have Petracca "on the hook" for next year's free agency period.

Petracca's just had a birds eye view of how the Pies promise the world then do a runner. Let's hope his manager is also Treloar's or Stephenson's.

How hard is it for a "journalist" like either of those muppets to Google Petracca's contract status before making [censored] up?

Just reading the play BA. i've heard consistently that several of our key players have been frustrated with not just the way the season ended, but also issues within the FB dept. i think we were able to put those spot fires out this off season, but if we miss the finals in 2021 it'll be much harder. 

I don't totally agree, i think Petracca was always going to take a little bit of time, and i think he was quite solid in the forward position. in 2019 he was right up the pointy end of the league for score assists i believe. i think the those feeling Petracca underperformed are really just comparing his output to their expectations, which being a dees supporter are always going to be slightly inflated with a good young draft pick.

That is a DL myth.

AFL has changed Draft Rules re points for matching bids this year only, which helps a few clubs, but guess which club will get no benefit?

it was a throw away line on trying to explain the Pies salary dump. They mentioned a reason for it was they might have a free agent on the hook for next year and Merrett and Trac was used as an example. As mentioned above Trac isnt even a FA next year.

Seems like a harsh comment from you, dazzle.

Cue the usual suspects claiming inside knowledge that Collingwood are indeed hunting Petracca. 

Every club is hunting Petracca, which is fine, as he is still under contract for another two seasons.  Good luck to them.

This list may explain Collingwoods salary dump.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2020-afl-free-agents-2021-list-of-free-agents-trade-news-targets-restricted-zach-merrett-josh-kelly-carlton-patrick-cripps/news-story/6f3eb3386a97f5cac1700cb20a3726ad

I was surprised at the names and can see there are a few targets like Josh Kelly, Cripps, Merret, Matt Crouch, Vlastin and Bontempelli who are restricted free agents as opposed to a standard out of contract player.

I know a lot has been made of Olivers discontent but the stories coming out about other players from all clubs shows he was not alone in this. Hub life messed with many a player which I hope will not be an issue if things normalise next season

Bombers will end up with pick 2.    They should never have gotten pick 7 and 8 in the first place.   How  that happened I will never know.

That’s rubbish, I hate Essendon as much as the next person but they definitely deserved pick 7 for Daniher and they lost a top 5 player at their club in Saad

LOL

Daniher has barely gotten on the field in 3 years.  Was worth pick 20 at most.  His body is shot to bits.

If Saad is worth a top 10 pick what is Salem worth?  Top 3?

Saad is worth what Carlton were willing to pay, that's not Essendon's fault.

Let's not forget we managed to get pick 3 for Chip

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
