ffs, are we going to keep up this mfcss petracca hysteria running for another 2 years?

It's all Jesse Hogan's fault. Or maybe Jack Watts.

If they were still on the list, they'd continue to be the focus of this nonsense freeing us up to debate more important things like whether Petracca needs to lose weight.

Trac is still contracted until 2022. Even if he unexpectedly requests a trade next year i expect Josh Mahoney and co to take a leaf out of the Doggies book and hold him to his contract.

 

If he did request a trade and we reluctantly had to do a deal what would it take? De Goey plus a first rounder??? ?

If he improved even 1% on his 2020 output and was contracted for a further year we'd genuinely request 3x top ten picks. Might go close to getting it too.

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. 

 

His brother Julian petracca is Jake  lever’s manager and he also is Jayden shorts manager

My view is that the club will renew Christians'  contract mid season so the doubters will have another 4 years of agony wondering

if!

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.

Wtf are u smoking matey? I threw zero darts, merely mentioned small bits with a major caveat attached. Only thing I said was def was BBB and he was. Didn’t say CP was pies committed? Then WHY do the silly post at all u silly bugger. Don’t make me go back and quote you. The entire post was moronic so maybe move on haha

How could the Pies possibly afford him?

They just got rid of two very good players because of cap issues.

Petracca wouldn’t leave for less than 750k per year

And why should he leave at all.  He will be well looked after l am sure of that.

You're weird unit Nudge. You quoted a post from 2 months ago that I actually forgot it existed..

The moment has gone.

IMO Pies just offloaded a whole heap of $. Not due to clearing space. Actually due to being well over the cap hence the bargain trade deals for Treloar Stephenson and Phillips. No doubt they’ll be into Petracca. I think Petracca is built for finals footy and if we don’t start making them then he’s a risk to leave. But are Collingwood in a better position? I don’t think so. Not unless they end up absolutely nailing the 2020 draft. 

Play finals at the very least otherwise we risk losing him. We can’t expect an A-grader like Trac to rang around waiting for us to get our act together when he would grace any team in the league.

Not much point worrying about it in pre-season though. Let’s see how the season pans out before fretting about his contract.

Personally think its more then that. I don't think making finals is an acceptable level. If we make it and bow out first week then the risk of losing players is still high.

We've got the list to be top 4. It's all up to players and coaching staff to make that happen.

Easy fix.  We target Maynard ?‍♂️

Don’t care if he’s friends with Kanye or Guy Sebastian.

I agree. Finals may not be enough. 

I guess we all have extra reason to hope that the pies flop this year.

   Yes l agree.  However IMO Petrac even Oliver would have to play in a consistently high level as expected for us to have a better       chance of playing finals and finishing at least top 4 . 

  They are the A graders and if we cannot make finals with both of them  sound then l would hate to think  Bda.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
