Pies into Petracca?

A team with no keyforward, trading away an arguably A-Grade mid in Treloar when fit & firing, a B grade winger and a potential A grade small/medium forward for a crack at a midfielder for the 2023 season would be the worst list management decision of all time, even on the slim chance they landed him.

    Have the pies cleared space now to launch at Trac for 2022?

    Are they already there?

    Could I suggest that the thread title have a question mark to minimise the risk of us collectively having kittens.

    I’m sure every team would love Trac. Zero chance he goes to an imploding rabble like the pies though

    That's not going to stop players from going to the pies mate.

    They're a big club. They'll naturally attract good players.

    I heard they are offering him a contract of 650k for the first seven years and then 4 million a year for the final two.

    Family are big pies supporters, & he grew up one. Not that that means anything.

    That is right the Family support the pies and are very keen. I have worried about that since he was drafted. The Pies will get in his ear no doubt and IMO i would not be surprised that we would have a fight in our hands to hold on to him.

    His manager is his brother. Interesting times ahead.

    There’s no point worrying about what Trac may or may not do in 2 years’ time. Coaching and game plan are the immediate concerns for me. If we get our act together and are successful on the field then contract extensions will take care of themselves. If not then our best players might leave as is their right under free agency.

    Pretty sure he's brother works for a different player management company and doesn't manage Christian?

    Correct on both points.  another-petracca-making-a-name-for-himself-off-the-field

    His manager is Robbie D’Orazio of Connors Sports Management.

    Think of the thread title being about dietary advice for Petracca. Makes as much sense.

    So we have Petracca to the Pies, Oliver to the Blues, Brayshaw to Freo, Jackson to WCE.

    Of course clubs will try to poach Petracca from us when his contract is up, he will be considered a top 1-3 player in the competition by then.  It is up to the club and players to have success so good players don't leave

    Yes your  right there l was lead to believe at the time.  Someone very close to me introduced me to his brother Julian who manages a few players at different clubs and one of them is at Melbourne. at the time l just assumed the way he was talking that he managed him.  That is  all l can say now.

    Yep l do worry if we are good enough to hold onto our best players. Can we afford to keep them ? Time will tell.

    My opinion is that there's a bit of a misunderstanding by some regarding Collingwood's salary cap dump.  From what I can gather, they had to get rid of those players otherwise they would've been over the salary cap.  So while they have shaved close to $2m off this season, that could actually bring them back to paying 100% for 2021.

    I could be wrong, but that's my reading of the tea leaves.

    Sick of this #*&@ every year, lets just give a rest.

    Because for a lot on here MFCSS turns them into the ultimate pessimists, with no reason to be.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
