I can see the Pies asking harder questions about Weideman now that we have Brown. 
 

Not Trac. 

And, perhaps, we should consider their offer; the reason? I doubt whether the Weed will show much improvement. It could have been expected that he'd be a better, more complete player by now. He just ain't. Patience is a virtue, at the end of the day ... but time waits for no KPF known in footy. 

If the Filth are as sentimental as they project, then surely there could be a considerable offer for the Weed with his heritage?

    His purple patch this year came when Jackson was sharing some of the load. Once LJ was injured he had no help and his form dropped away. Let’s see how he goes in 2021 when BB takes the best defender. I’ve reservations as well but I think his output will improve with BB on aboard.

    Agreed. Weideman had 2-3 opponents on him full time once LJ was injured 

    It wasn’t hard to see why his output dropped off

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

    How many AFL players end up playing for the club they followed when they were boys? Very few I suspect. The draft doesn’t work that way and the kids know and accept the situation! (Christian Salem and family were all keen Essendon supporters but they all support Melbourne now)!

    Listen champ, to even SUGGEST one of the comps premier players has committed to COLLINGWOOD 2yrs out from when he is out of contract, is loopy as hell!!!

    But to act like it’s some sort of moral, is downright moronic.

    CP is a demon and is preparing for a massive year for club and self, anything else is nothing more than scuttlebutt

    Last time I heard, Trac’s family still go for the Pies?

    Did I say he had committed to the pies did I? Can you actually show this direct quote? You're the only [censored] that mentioned anything remotely of Petracca leaving. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

    Go back and actually read what I was replying to. It actually had nothing to do with Petracca at all but more so that Collingwood will continue to bring in players regardless of what went on during the trade period.

    You embarrassed yourself over the trade period when you threw several darts but didn't land any and now you're embarrassing yourself with this post.

    Life was so less stressful when we were completely rubbish and nobody tried to poach our players through free agency ??‍♂️

    Jesus I saw this thread had popped up and was on 4 pages already, I was sure that there was going to be an article at the top and some substantial information. Instead it’s barely a gut feeling!

    If we’re successful next year then I doubt Trac is going anywhere, and even if we’re mediocre he actually strikes me as someone that genuinely just loves playing with his teammates.

    And the pies may have a natural power about them but the way they’ve treated Treloar may well cost them in the future.

    I'm sure there's someone smarter and funnier than me who can turn this into a gag about Mason Cox and his 2nd amendment rights.

    An Englishman, an Irishman, the Pope, and Eddie McGuire walk into a bar.

    On the counter is a huge stuffed polar bear.

    The Englishman says, I say, barman. Did you know there's a huge stuffed polar bear on the counter?

    The Irishman says, Begorrah. That little turncoat lied to me. Him and his dorty fadder.

    The Pope says, Petracca, he a good-a Catholic-a boy. He no-a go to the *hack-ptuih* Mag-a-pies.

    Eddie McGuire says, anyone know any good King Kong jokes?

    The barman says, so did the last bloke who came in here and tried to use his 2nd amendment rights!

    If Trac does go, after 8 years, the regret will be all his.

    P. S. Will his idol, Buckley, even be there? Think about it Trac.

    Agree. They have shown themselves to be untrustworthy and players and managers will think twice before dealing with them after seeing how Treloar and Stephenson were treated. With time it'll be forgotten but i don;t see them signing any Fa's over the next couple of years.

    The players have memories like goldfish and might champ at the bit to play with the mighty pies, but as long as the current admin is in place, the managers will be cautious. They have memories like elephants.

    With Salem l would say yes !  My reasoning was that goal he kicked against the side he and his Family supported that sealed the game from 30 metres out with around a minute to spare.  Did his Family wish that he kicked that goal ?   Was it his first game? 

     I will ask Christian at Family day.

    • 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.

    • 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.
